Abstract:
Considering the growth of the indigenous population and taking into account their social structure and housing conditions, areas of great exposure and great climatic influence to the Zika virus were observed in the Amazon region. Raising infection in pregnant women and vertical transmission, causing microcephaly and neurological diseases in babies born in indigenous rural areas. The work proposes individual and collective prevention guidelines through the promotion of health education, so that there is control of the exposure of indigenous pregnant women. It was also essential for the preparation of this document to review the literature, where data was sought from the IBGE regarding indigenous population indices in Brazil and also from the SciELO and Google Scholar databases.
