SUMMARY:

The geoprocessing tools assist in the elaboration of epidemiological studies since they allow the aggregation of quantitative and qualitative data visualized in thematic maps. Thematic maps are cartographic representations that clarify pre-established variables according to geographic data and other information that the researcher wants to make visible and clear to the reader. This technique already used in public health favors the expansion of disease prevention and control programs, as well as studies of risk factors in line with statistical analyzes. In the study of vector diseases, works of ecology, the contribution of geospatial analysis is also growing, since it adds values of biotic and abiotic factors that were previously analyzed only by epidemiological methods and now also visualized on map images, making them easier to read. Among hemoparasitosis, babesiosis is a disease of great importance for veterinary and public health in some countries. In Brazil, the occurrence of the Babesia vogeli species is reported in several studies and the presumptive diagnosis is often performed, due to several factors, such as the tutor's financial conditions, lack of clinic resources or delay in the results, performing the treatment only by the clinic. animal and / or blood counts. Inadequate or not performed treatment can play an important role in the permanence and transmission of the hemoprotozoan to contact dogs, especially with the development of chronic cases, as well as the non-control of ticks, especially the species Rhipicephalus sanguineus, which favors the transmission of this agent and others. that can cause damage to the health of dogs. This work carried out for the first time a study in domiciled dogs, with voluntary and unbiased participation during the period of 12 consecutive months, in which residences of four residents of Rio de Janeiro: Barra do Pirai, Paracambi, Teresópolis and Petrópolis. In total, there were 480 collection points and 36 dogs positive for the detection of piroplasmic agents, confirmed as Babesia vogeli in the sequencing. It was possible to verify that resident dogs have a higher chance of infection to Babesia vogeli with a p-value of 0.01297 and with the observed odds ratio value 2 times more likely to become infected than dogs resident in the mountainous region; among the variables, the altitude was the most impactful and the chance of dogs residing in regions below 600m of altitude had twice the chance of Babesia vogeli infection. In multivariate regression, again the region where the dog resides is more relevant and with the cartographic representation it is possible to observe the greater predominance of cases of B. vogeli in dogs in the marshland quite clearly. This work contributes with epidemiological and geographical information about this agent, in addition to performing an educational function with discussion of information about diseases transmitted by zoonotic and non-zoonotic ticks, control methods, important vaccinations, among others, adding scientific and social value to the parasitological research.
