Some foci of transmission of schistosomiasis are installed in Para State, with the possibility of permanent expansion by major migration flows through the economic and social demands in the region. It was proposed to reassess the epidemiological situation of schistosomiasis transmission in this village of Fordlandia, the city of Aveiro, PA, where it was established in 1951 as a result of intense migration appreciation for the extraction of rubber, as the first indigenous Amazonian focus, being considered extinct for several years. The study was conducted between September and November 2012, involving 204 individuals of households served by Strategy Community Health Workers in the District of Fordlandia, PA, submitted to parasitological survey by the Kato-Katz (one sample per capita, processed 3 blades) with description of the socio-demographic profile through interviews to identify the environmental conditions of peridomicile, housing, sanitation, presence of collections hydro, type and form of contact with them, which would be inserted possible risk factors for transmission . It was found that the majority are women (54%), with more than 20 years (56%), especially students and farmers (32% and 26%), residents in the town of Fordlandia (52%) for months or years (64 %). Although environmental conditions, housing and sanitation remain the similarity of the season's activity focus of schistosomiasis in the district of Fordlandia-PA was not identified no cases of schistosomiasis considering all coproscópicos tests negative for eggs of S. mansoni, possibly for this location this time was not affected by the entry of migrants infected by this worm, allowing the restoration of the cycle in place. The dispersal of Biomphalaria snails in the Amazon floodplain, plus the intensification of migratory networks, requires constant vigilance in the region as the expansion and development of future outbreaks of transmission of schistosomiasis, including the reemergence of outbreaks now extinct like Fordlandia-PA.
