Resumo
GOMEZ-LOPEZ, Natalia; KNUDSON-OSPINA, Rubiela A. e LOPEZ-PAEZ, Myriam C.. Approach to the relationship between malaria and the coca economy in Guaviare, Colombia, 1979-1989. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.243-250. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v21n2.80044.
Objective
To analyze the relationship between malaria and coca economy in the region of Guaviare, Colombia between 1978 and 1989.
Materials and Methods
Retrospective documentary analysis using historical archives, interviews and secondary sources.
Results
Two critical periods for the coca bonanza, with population fluctuations, were identified between 1978 and 1989. After analyzing the relationship between variations in the price of cocaine and positive cases of malaria, an increase in cases was identified during those crises.
Conclusions
The increase of malaria cases in the region is possibly associated to the migration of people from rural areas to urban centers, motivated by the low production of coca paste. This increased the concentration of susceptible population and, therefore, the number of cases; however, it is possible that the report of these cases experienced an upsurge.
