TITLE:

SUMMARY:

Brazil has a large part of the world's tropical forests and is an important repository of biodiversity. Among the most important biological groups are primates with 140 species, 117 of them in the Amazon. However, there is a lack of ecological and population information about these species and the relationship with the significant numbers of cases of infectious diseases such as malaria, which shows the need for studies with these primates (hosts) and their relationship with vectors and humans, in the Amazon. The expressive number of malaria cases contributes to the fact that this disease is considered a major health problem in the country. Based on the assumption that the dynamics of malaria transmission involves the triad: vector mosquitoes (species of the genus Anopheles), protozoan parasites (species of the genus Plasmodium) and vertebrate hosts, our objective was to characterize the factors that affect the occurrence of malaria in the period from 2009 to 2019 in the state of Rondônia. Information available in the database was used to verify if there are spatial and temporal variations in the number of malaria cases. To understand the dynamics of malaria cases in the state of Rondônia, we evaluated the effect of the presence of host species such as primates, the annual deforestation rate, and the size of the human population on the number of malaria cases in the state. This study provides information on factors that may contribute to the number of malaria cases in the state, reinforcing knowledge about the relationship between non-human primates and the disease. It is also important to highlight the important need to identify the places where the transmission of the disease has increased zoonotic risks of spreading the infection and studies in this sense should be a priority to control the disease, as well as to determine more robust data for future predictive analyses.
