The Occupational Medicine, as one arm of the Public Health and Preventive Medicine, has an important role in surveillance, prevention and control of diseases, occupational or not, including collective epidemic transmitted by vectors, as is the case.

Conclusion: The Occupational Medicine as a branch of Public Health has a major role in the control of infectious diseases whether they are related or not with the labor activity of the target group workers
