SUMMARY:

Introduction: Tungiasis is an ectoparasitis caused by Tunga penetrans. It inhabits rural soils, communities with low social development or indigenous communities. Despite being a selflimited infection, the disease may be the gateway to secondary complications. The control of infestation at the community level is complex and there is no accepted intervention. The most widely used treatment in tungiasis is the manual extraction of fleas causing consequences such as bacterial infections. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the scientific knowledge through a systematic review of the literature and to evaluate the knowledge of health professionals and students regarding the control of tungiasis at both individual and environmental epidemiological and therapeutic levels. Methods: The first part of the research consisted of a systematic review of the literature with international scope. The second consisted of a qualiquantitative research, using the methodology of exploratory factor analysis with factor Q. Results: The systematic review resulted in 3376 references. with the final inclusion of 19 articles. In the research using the Q method, there were 119 participants. Most of them were female, and the mean age was 33.82 years. The median classification of each statement was not related to the academic degree of the participants in most cases. Only the third statement showed consensus among the participants. Conclusion: Although tungiasis is a neglected disease and mechanical extraction is the most widely used type of treatment, there is sufficient evidence to support the use of occlusive agents, especially products manufactured based on dimeticone. There is a lack of knowledge of endemic areas and factors that contribute to the environmental control of tungiasis through research using the Q method.
