| Resumo: | Currently, the pressures involving the loss of natural ecosystems, the accelerated urbanization
process and unequal socioeconomic development have been the subject of great concern in The
northeast region of Brazil (NRB). Some Brazilian biomes, such as the Caatinga and the Atlantic
Forest, imply complex scenarios that involve social, technological, political, economic and
environmental impacts. Among them, the emergence and transmission of emerging infectious
diseases. In this sense, the purpose of this dissertation was to identify bases, trends and scenarios
of Brazilian ecosystems, aiming to contribute to a better prevention and management of
zoonotic diseases in the NRB. For this, we carried out a bibliographic survey in order to identify
the main anthropogenic forces that affect the quality life of populations located in the Caatinga
and Atlantic Forest ecosystems. By recognizing the impacts on the biological structure of these
ecosystems and the services they provide in disease regulation, we have identified a set of more
appropriate responses to contain and prevent zoonotic outbreaks. Secondly, we investigated the
incidence, mortality and fatality of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in a metropolitan region of the NRB
and its relationship with 15 socio-environmental indicators, through the FPSEEA model
(Forces-Drivers-Pressures-Situation-Exposure-Effects- Actions). It was found that the
methodological design used in this dissertation presents itself as a good tool for social
determination of health from secondary data. It was also identified that the fundamental roles
of Brazilian’s Northeastern ecosystems and the services they provide in managing the risks of
zoonotic infections in urban regions of the GNI are good indicators of applicable sustainability.
It is clear, then, that the risks of zoonotic infections are strongly linked with biodiversity crises
and water insecurity faced by the GNI. Thus, given the relevance of the Caatinga and the
Atlantic Forest to maximize the benefits of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the area
under study, we argue that transdisciplinary research is necessary to foster health surveillance,
reduce the risks of zoonotic emergencies and achieve the Goals of Sustainable Development by 2030. |
