Biographical studies correlated to health geography are constantly expanded to the most diverse themes, especially to the studies of Aedes aegypti as a vector. This study aims to demonstrate the cases of dengue and chikungunya in the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul in 2015 and 2016, and of Zika virus in 2016. From the results, it was possible to demonstrate the incidence and the increase of cases in that period. We suggest the increase of governmental dengue prevention campaign and more public concern about stagnant water throughout the year.Downloads
