Summary:	INTRODUCTIONHuman visceral leishmaniasis is considered a major public health problem in the municipality of Cametá, Pará, Brazil. METHODSThis ecological study was conducted using data obtained from official Brazilian agencies. Spatial analysis of the variables was performed using the kernel interpolation technique and the bivariate Global Moran's Index.

CONCLUSIONSDifferent relationships were observed between the variables studied and disease occurrence.
