Geospacialization and statistical analysis of the evolution of cases of sporotrichosis: Timbaúba and Grande Recife - Brasil

With a predominance in countries with tropical and subtropical climates, dermatozoonosis such as sporotrichosis occurs in several nations. Sporotrichosis is caused by species of the genus Sporothrix, whose dissemination between animals and humans is due to the traumatic inoculation of the fungus. The objective of the present study was to propose a management model based on geospatialization, with statistical methods applied to preventive and corrective care in order to control the evolution of cases of sporotrichosis in care at animal health establishments in Timbaúba and Grande Recife/PE - Brazil. Computational tools and statistical techniques were used, verifying the emphasis on places of occurrence of the disease by geospatialization with the Kernel density estimation method and descriptive statistical analysis. The research was approved by the CEP (CAAE: 44330921.2.0000.9547) in the period from 2011 to 2020. The results demonstrated the prevalence of the disease in adult felines and, lack of records in the units. It is concluded that the lack of information and knowledge contributes to dispersion and abandonment of treatment. In this sense, a management plan is proposed with the implementation of a computer program.
