To achieve this, timely diagnosis and treatment through medical consultations and regular check-ups is a priority. The person who tested positive for Chagas cannot donate blood, as the parasite could be transmitted through transfusion. In turn, every woman with a positive result for Chagas should know that her/her child may contract the parasite, but that she / she will be able to undergo treatment for its healing. 3. Prevention of disease and deforestation the main route of infection of Chagas disease is the vector: the bite of the vinchuca.

Therefore, the main preventive measures should be focused on eliminating the vector. These measures are: improvement of rural and peri-urban housing infested by vinchucas, with economic materials adapted to the climate of each region and cultural particularities of each community, implementation of a health education program. 33 some complex health problems vector control is the most useful method for preventing Chagas disease.

Thus, the greatest success of the programmes

According to the geographical area, WHO recommends the following methods of prevention and control: implementation of ongoing health education programmes at all educational levels, bringing knowledge of the disease, its risks and prophylaxis to the greatest educational and population mass.

Training of local leaders and conducting bilingual workshops in schools, to stimulate and train for self-care.  Improvement of Housing to prevent vector infestation.  Spraying of houses and surrounding areas with insecticides. The recommended frequency is one or two sprays per year for at least four years.  Prevent the residential development of the vinchuca by destroying it in all its stages, in human accommodation and its environment. * Personal preventive measures such as the use of mosquito nets.

Good hygienic practices in the preparation, transport, storage and consumption of food. It is important to keep in mind that it is impossible to remove an insect from its natural habitat and the vinchuca has in our country its natural habitat. Thus, the greatest success of the programmes will be to control their spread and presence in human dwellings. Campaigns must therefore be permanent. Activity we propose the reading of these statements, taken from a meeting held by the PMC-ESPN with women from Indigenous communities in different provinces of the country, fulfilling the right to prior, free and informed consultation (Convention 169 of the OI T) • * – of course, the balance was broken.

Because as he went on leaving all that was previously covered by vegetation, where every animal found its livelihood, as he went on leaving the mountain and carrying it beyond and beyond, all the animals either died, or attacked the population.- 34 course in social and community health * – why does the puma eat the lamb? Why does the vinchuca come to the houses? Because he has nothing to feed on. When you Talas, he stops having food on the mountain and then goes to peridomicillium to find something to eat.- *- The vinchuca stops having the rabbit, the hare, the vizcacha and every warm-blooded animal that uses the vinchuca, stops having it as food because it feeds on hot blood, then goes and feeds on man.

The other afternoon I was sitting in my house

Then one can have the house clean of vinchucas, but that you can have only one day. You’ll soon be invaded again. They clean it, they fumigate it … and the next day they have it again because they don’t have the ecological balance around them.- *- The other afternoon I was sitting in my house with my family in the courtyard, which is rather far from the house and closer to the mountain. When it got dark, we had the black legs of vinchucas … they come from the mountain … They’re not the ones in the house anymore … they come more from the mountain than from the House.- a. what feelings do these testimonies give you?

• Are you aware of changes in the environment generated by people? do you know the impact they have on the health of the population? Think with your colleagues what activities have a negative influence on the environment and-beyond it-on the health of the population in the community.
• Design a strategy to protect communities from changes in the environment that cause harmful health consequences. 35 some complex health problems 4. Etiology is the study of the causes of things, in this case diseases.
• The deforestation process introduces a change in the natural habitat of vectors by producing a loss in food sources (warm-blooded animals) and, therefore, the need to search for food sources in human dwellings and in people themselves.

Domestic animals are transformed into a new source of power and closed houses, favor colonization by vectors. These effects of the interaction society and Environment produce transformations in nature that alter the balance of the ecosystem; some activities carried out by the human being allow to achieve a certain well-being but on the other hand can produce unwanted effects by creating harmful conditions for health, actions that individually may seem harmless but that combined produce a different result that was not in the intention of any of the actors.

The approach of the tb from the first level

The impact of human actions on nature is usually not closely linked to intentionality. For this reason, education and the circulation of information will encourage reflection on future actions and/or awareness of the whole community. 4. The approach of the tb from the first level of care tuberculosis is a disease very old, that was a serious public health problem since the Industrial Revolution, as a result of the increase of the population in the cities and its aftermath of poverty, overcrowding and lack of hygiene, which largely contributed to its dissemination.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it became the cause of 25% of adult deaths in western European cities and, although the disease was recognized by its symptoms, its etiology was unknown.4 It was called The Great White Plague and was regarded as an inevitable death sentence. In March 1882, when tuberculosis killed one in seven people living in the United States and Europe, Dr. Robert Koch announced the discovery of the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which was the most important step in the control and elimination of this disease. The first treatments-after the appearance of the medication-consisted of rest, adequate food and hospitalization in hospices.
