Abstract

The study with animal animals has become more and more frequent due to the high number of accidents in urban areas. This work aims to evaluate the cases reported by the animals in Guaraí-TO, seeking to characterize the factors that influenced the incidence and prevalence of accidents in the region. This is an epidemiological, descriptive study. The data provided by the MUNICIPAL secretariat of Health/epidemiological surveillance for the Temporal Study (2015-2017) were used in the investigated population. The notifications of accidents involving animals in the Guaraí-TO region between the years 2015 to 2017 totaled 170 cases, of which 62 were not identified. Due to the lack of the search for health care in this region, it is possible that many unreported cases persist. The year 2015 was the year of greatest accident with venomous animals prevailing among the animals identified to the snakes and then the Scorpions. The present analysis showed that accidents by farted animals are influenced by economic, cultural and environmental activities.
