This disease is quite prevalent, especially in tropical and subtropical areas, such as the state of Pará. In this scenario, indigenous regions, mining regions and extractive reserves (Resex) have a high incidence of malaria, influenced by the climatic and socioeconomic factors of these locations. Therefore, by understanding the epidemiological situation of malaria in these regions, it will be feasible to develop prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies adapted to the culture of these peoples. Objective: To describe the epidemiological situation of malaria cases in indigenous areas, mining areas and extractive reserves (Resex) in the municipality of Altamira, in the Xingu Region, Pará, from 2006 to 2023. Method: This is a retrospective, descriptive, quantitative ecological study. Data were obtained from the Epidemiological Surveillance Information System (SIVEP–MALÁRIA), managed by the Health Surveillance Secretariat (SVS) of the Ministry of Health, with the following variables: incidence of malaria, the proportion of cases of falciparum malaria, the number of hospitalizations and deaths, and the percentage of malaria cases in areas of extractive reserves, indigenous settlements, and mining. Result: It was observed that the percentage of malaria cases in indigenous areas was higher than that in mining areas and Extractive Reserves in the historical series analyzed. Furthermore, it is clear that in the municipality of Altamira, in the special clusters and in the Extractive Reserves of this region, the peak percentages of malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum were recorded during the first years analyzed. Furthermore, comparing the number of cases reported in the three extractive reserves, the Anfrísio Extractive Reserve had the highest number. Discussion: The reduction in the number of cases over the course of the historical series occurred as a result of the increasing dynamism in disease treatment and prevention practices and the implementation of several public policies, such as the Malaria Control Plan (PACM). However, the population of the analyzed locations still presents greater vulnerability to infection by the disease. Conclusion: The effective and systematic implementation of public policies aimed at controlling the disease, combined with early diagnosis and adequate treatment of malaria, significantly reduces the number of reported cases and the morbidity and mortality of the disease. However, these measures need to be implemented more rigorously and adapted to the particularities of these populations.Acesso AbertoMaláriaEpidemiologiaReservas extrativistas (Resex)Áreas de garimpoÁreas indígenasMalariaEpidemiologyExtractive reserves (Resex)Mining areasIndigenous areasCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::SAUDE COLETIVA::EPIDEMIOLOGIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
