Abstract	This study aimed to describe the situation of LVC in Uruguaiana about the confirmed cases from 2009 and the existence of association between socioeconomic status and people's level of knowledge about the disease in three districts of the municipality. Although the majority of respondents report having knowledge of the LVC, it found it difficult to adopt one of the measures recommend for the prevention of disease (to buy the collar). there was an association between income and knowledge of LVC (p = 0.04), to buy the collar (p = 0.00) and clean the patio (p = 0.01). However, there was no association between this variable and find that no treatment (p = 0.14) or own fenced yard (p = 0.13). It was also found association between level of education and knowledge of LVC, to buy the collar and you think there is treatment (p = 0.00). the resulting research information may assist in the conduct of public policies for the prevention.
