Objective: this article proposes an integration of available data sources to create a database, at the municipal level, that allows the analysis of the prevalence of schistosomiasis in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Method: through a process to understand the domain, the main dimensions and aspects (factors) that can influence the prevalence of the disease in a municipality were identified. The conceptual model generated by the understanding process helped the data integration process. Results: the integrated database made it possible to carry out descriptive analyses for the state, and it is a source for identifying patterns in municipalities prone to the disease. Conclusions: The resulting database will allow the construction of predictive models for the formulation of public policies and municipal intervention programs.
