Abstract:

This paper aims to assess how climate change will affect leishmaniasis proliferation in Brazil in three time slices, 2010-2039, 2040-2079 e 2080-2100 and two climatic scenarios. The relation among temperature, precipitation and the number of hospital entries due to leishmaniasis was estimated and projections were made using these results. Results show that precipitation has a strong relation with leishmaniasis incidence and projections show that by the end of this century (2070-2099) there will be a 15% growth in the annual number of hospital entries due to leishmaniasis in Brazil, comparing to the base scenario (1992-2002). Regional results show growth in every region, with the exception of the Center-West. The greatest relative growth will be in the South region, while the highest increase in absolute terms will be observed in the Northeast region. In general, leishmaniasis incidence will grow in Brazil due to climatic change.
