In June of 2002 the Municipal Health Department had started an ATL control program, according with methodologies recommended by National Health Foundation (FUNASA) on the ATL Control Manual of 2000. The control strategies were based on capture of sandflies in Atlantic Forest areas and identification of vectors species, chemical control of vectors through periodic domiciliary and peridomiciliary insecticide application, serological investigation of suspect dogs and elimination of infected dogs, rodents control, investigation of new possible cases and educational measures to the local community.
