- Abstract
The visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic disease of great importance in public health and the actions performed by Zoonoses Services (ZS) can minimize their disorder. The objective was to evaluate the situation of zoonosis services of the counties in the health region of Presidente Prudente/SP and understand the role its play in health surveillance for visceral leishmaniasis. Was performed cartographic information on the epidemiological situation of the visceral leishmaniasis and the type ZS offered in the counties belonging of study. Of the 45 counties studied, 62.2% have fully structured ZS; 6.7% have no physical structure and partially function; 4.4% do not work and 26.7% do not possess. We conclude that, is of great relevance, the role played by ZSs in health surveillance and there is a high number of counties that do not have structured ZS, a fact that can make it difficult to control the visceral leishmaniasis, favoring the dissemination in the region.
