Abstract

AVL is an endemic disease in some Brazilian states especially in São Paulo due to its rapid expansion in that state. It is a constant concern for the health teams since their control is deficient because of the ecology of the phlebotomine, which present part of their life cycle in soils with the presence of decomposing organic matter. The present aimed to compare the physical and chemical composition of the soil from an endemic area with the presence of the vector and canine and human transmission with a non-endemic area. A total of 333 soil samples were analyzed, in the Laboratory of Soils of the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences - FCA / UNESP Botucatu Campus. The results revealed important differences in soil composition, which could explain the presence or absence of the vector in certain municipalities. The non-endemic area presented significantly higher results for Total Sand, Organic Matter, Hydrogen + Aluminum, Magnesium, Cations, Copper and Iron, and a significantly lower amount of Clay, presenting a more acidic pH than the area endemic. There are no other studies that precisely define that macro or micronutrients present in soils with organic matter would have the function of harming or aiding the development of larval forms of the vector. However the main contribution of the present study was to detect that there are differences of the composition of the soil between endemic and non-endemic areas, That can facilitate or hinder the multiplication of the vector and that can be used for a possible modification in the soil that contributes to the control of the vector cycle.
