In the last few years have been reported in Brazil, an average of 200000 cases of malaria every year; about 80% of cases of malaria are caused by the P. vivax and the disease is endemic in the Brazilian Amazon that contributes more than 99% of the cases in the country. Out of the Amazon region, although in low prevalence malaria occurs. In all the states of the region to the southeast.Currently there is concern about the presence of native cases of the disease in several municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, as well as imported cases of the Amazon region or endemic countries, which may lead to the re introduction of the disease in the state. This concern is increased with the establishment of the comperj,An industrial park for the logistics of sales and oil derivatives which is being built in an area of 45 million square meters in the eastern region of Rio de Janeiro state and that is causing a transformation in the social, economic and environmental profile of the region. The environmental changes foreseen will be proportional to the size of the development.Making it necessary to monitoring the onset and / or increase in diseases of transmission varied, including vector, malaria has outstanding historical in the region, as a measure of protection to the residents and floating.Research carried out recently, point to a deficiency in the epidemiological surveillance of cases in the municipalities with the presence of cases in which the disease is not diagnostic or not is investigated to demonstrate the autochthony or not the case. With such background.This study aims to strengthen the programme of epidemiological surveillance of malaria in the municipalities of the coverage area of the comperj and propose educational actions, which are important for the formation and training of community health server agent for the detection of the primary symptoms of malaria for surveillance, diagnosis and treatment timely.
