As a result, each government has proposed emergency public health measures that are critical to delay the transmission and spread of the virus and mitigate its impacts. In Brazil, the outbreak triggered many cases of people infected with COVID-19. Considering there are no drugs or vaccines proven to be effective to treat the disease, analyzing the data of infection cases and their mathematical interpretation are essential for supporting and guiding governmental measures to suppress and mitigate the impact of COVID-19. This means that estimates with mathematical models to assess the development potential of sustained human-human transmission are needed. Since the disease has its own biological characteristics, the models need to be adapted to the variability of the regions characteristics and the decision-making by both the government and the population, in order to be able to deal with real situations. Thus, in the present paper, we analyzed the official data of COVID-19 in Brazil and used the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) equation to predict the evolution of the disease. The model indicates that a nucleation rate is of fourth order, which indicates that Brazilians are crowding with no respect to measures of social distance and disease prevention. In our opinion, the political authorities were unable to control the spread of the disease in Brazil, given that social mobility was interrupted by the federal and state governments.","PeriodicalId":208128,"journal":{"name":"Revista Cereus","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133708444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several microorganisms that pose risks to human and animal health are waterborne, such as the protozoan Cryptosporidium spp. The parasitological diagnosis of Cryptosporidium spp. in biological material and environmental samples can be accomplished through several techniques that include optical microscopy with analysis of fresh material or through the use of concentration techniques, indirect immunofluorescence and molecular biology that allows differentiation between species. Oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. are eliminated through feces from parasitized hosts and released into drinking water reservoirs through untreated sewage. Therefore, its proper identification is necessary when causing human gastrointestinal changes. The objective of this work is to analyze the presence of oocysts of Cryptosporidium spp. in recreational areas of the Guarapiranga Resevoir located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Water samples were collected and concentrated between July and November and analyzed through the technique of Ziehl Neelsen. Samples showed positive results for Cryptosporidium spp. and cyanobacteria, which are commonly found in the aquatic biota. The latter can be found in large quantities in eutrophic environments due to high amount of organic matter released in water bodies. Oocysts were observed in 60% of the analyzed samples and the distribution between positive and negative samples was not dependent on the month of sampling, but showed statistically significant differences according to the sampling site.","PeriodicalId":208128,"journal":{"name":"Revista Cereus","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131354264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most prevalent types of bacteria found were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), however, in antibiograms only the latter and Klebisiella pneumoniae carbapenemase were resistant to several antibiotics when applying disk diffusion tests.

Results and Discussion: From the analysis of the documents, it was possible to characterize the role of the DSEI, as well as the reality of health care provided to the indigenous population. Based on the data, there is an evolution in care during prenatal care, infant mortality rate, oral health, immunization status according to the National Immunization Program at different stages of the life cycle.
