Abstract

A REVIEW is made of the epidemiological profile of the human population in the Brazilian Amazon region, as related to the social and environmental dynamics of the region. A conceptual model for analysis is proposed including three major categories of landscapes: Natural, Anthropic and Built. Each of these macro landscapes is associated to a well defined set of health outcomes. Using an original concept of Disease Landscape, adapted from the classical Landscape Epidemiology, a comparative analysis of the epidemiological dynamics is made in six malaria landscapes, defined on the basis of land use strategies.
