Abstract

Objective: to analyze the factors that influence the occurrence of Human Visceral Leishmaniasis in the state of Paraíba, Brazil. Methods: ecological study, developed with data from 2012 to 2017, collected in a reference laboratory in the state and in the Atlas of Human Development in Brazil. Data analysis was by binomial regression model, Pearson correlation and Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. Results: 327 cases of human visceral leishmaniasis and 6,353 cases of canine visceral leishmaniasis were confirmed. The main municipal indicators have a significant relationship with the number of cases of the disease in the state, and a strong relationship with the number of positive cases for Human Visceral Leishmaniasis. Conclusion: the model can be used as a reference to analyze the distribution of cases of human visceral leishmaniasis and the possible factors that influence its occurrence, providing municipal managers with another alternative for carrying out control/ prevention measures for the disease, involving several sectors.
