Factors Associated With the Emergence and Spread of Visceral Leishmaniasis in the State of São Paulo, Brazil

We conclude that unplanned urbanisation, poverty, population mobility, and climate change have facilitated the spread of the disease in São Paulo. The results highlight the need for integrated surveillance and control strategies that consider the socioenvironmental determinants to prevent further expansion of VL to other vulnerable urban areas of São Paulo State and bordering states.

Abstract

We conclude that unplanned urbanisation, poverty, population mobility, and climate change have facilitated the spread of the disease in São Paulo. The results highlight the need for integrated surveillance and control strategies that consider the socioenvironmental determinants to prevent further expansion of VL to other vulnerable urban areas of São Paulo State and bordering states.
