SUMMARY:

Brazil experienced a severe epidemic caused by zika virus between the years 2015 and 2016. Microcephaly in newborns was the first change associated with intrauterine infection by zika virus, later other congenital malformations were also identified, condition currently known as zika virus congenital syndrome. The repercussions of this epidemic on the life of Brazilian population generated a series of recommendations by health authorities, based mainly on the advances of clinical and biomedical knowledge acquired about the disease. However, these guidelines took little into consideration the social and cultural context of individuals and its influence on the ways of understanding and reacting to this health problem. The understanding of socio-cultural processes that permeate this new reality constituted after the epidemic is fundamental, since they are closely related to the meanings and perceptions of risk attributed by the population to issues associated with health and disease. These elements need to be better understood, because they will provide subsidies for the understanding of the meanings attributed to the zika virus by the population, besides qualifying health professionals to act in an adequate way facing the social and cultural reality of the population on which they want to intervene. Based on these premises, this thesis aimed to understand the meanings, risk perceptions and preventive practices associated to zika virus by the population and health professionals of the city of Salvador-Bahia
