RESUMO:

Leishmaniasis is part of a group of neglected tropical diseases that are associated with poverty and develop in places with poor housing, lack of access to sanitation, especially clean water, insect abundance and degraded environments. Transmission of the disease requires the presence of sandflies. There are numerous records of infected domestic animals, such as dogs, for example, but also several species of wild animals, a very complex reservoir-parasite interaction. Thus, even if it is thought to control the disease in urban areas, contamination by American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) may continue to occur in areas of rural-urban contact. This is the profile of most of the Baixada Fluminense, a group of municipalities that make up the metropolitan periphery of Rio de Janeiro, especially those located on the edges of the metropolitan region, such as the municipality of Seropédica, the study area of this research, in metropolitan west border of Rio de Janeiro. Data presented by the Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Tourism show that the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region maintains 36.27% of its conserved green territory, and about one third of this percentage is in the Baixada Fluminense. The survey indicates that in these preserved green areas are conservation units that have a strong tourism potential, which led to a new proposal for a tourist region called Baixada Verde that includes Seropédica. This initiative, which aims to provide greater visibility and opportunity in the Baixada Fluminense regional tourism scenario, may be putting tourists in contact with areas that have been the focus of Leishmaniasis since the 1950s. Thus, this paper aims to identify the spaces of risk under threat of contamination of the ACL in the municipality of Seropédica.
