Amazonian - studies of medical and health georgraphy

All these studies are coordinated by Prof. Dr. Carlos Alberto Paraguassú Chaves who is the team leader of this research group. It is important to mention that all the work here reported has no public financial support; that is, they were self sustained by the authors.

I hope the readers enjoy this book and could learn about the Medical Geography and Geoepidemiological profile of some public health problems in the Amazonia.
