Análise da correlação dos índices de estrutura e recursos humanos do serviço veterinário oficial em 2019 e as incidências acumuladas (2017 – 2019) de doenças de notificação obrigatória em bovinos e equinos no Brasil

Abstract

Notifiable diseases in cattle can generate significant social and economic impacts on the Brazilian livestock chain, in addition to impacts on the international market due to sanitary embargoes. To help understand how an epidemiological surveillance system with more resources can generate more credibility for the country, correlation analyzes were carried out between the notification of diseases and the veterinary structure available in the Executing Bodies of Agricultural Health (OESAs), based on the data contained in the National System of Zoosanitary Information (SIZ), between the years 2017 to 2019. Based on public data from the veterinary service, the Official Physical Structure Index (IEFO) and the Official Service Human Resources Index (IRHSO) were produced.  Correlation analysis was performed between the notification of bovine diseases with the capacity of physical structure and human resources for epidemiological surveillance available in the Brazilian Veterinary Service. Amapá, Roraima and Santa Catarina were the states that most notified Brucellosis and Bovine Tuberculosis in the period and are among the best indices of structure and human resources in the country. The analysis of correlation indices showed that Brucellosis and Tuberculosis have a positive correlation with the official veterinary structure available for surveillance in cattle. Therefore, Improvements in the structure can reflect in the increase of the notification rates, as well as in the quality of its information.
