RESUMO

The present study analysed the modeling of occurrence of the human Shistosomosis in Lagarto City, State of Sergipe from 1999 to 2008 in combination with physiographic, social, cultural and sanitation data from 41 municipalities. The main objective of this study is to develop a map with the main potential areas of the risk for the occurrence of Shistosomosis in Lagarto,SE. Bassing a anterior of vulnerability built with epidemiological environmental and sociocultural data. Firstly, we perfomed a spacelation of the operational data of activities of vigilance of the Schistosomiasis Control Program obtained at the secretariat of municipalities health and permited the generation of maps containg the areas of occurrence of the disease in the period from 1999 to 2008.
