Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine how *cordel* language is used to alert the population about dengue, Zika virus, and chikungunya. To this end, a bibliographic study was conducted regarding the history, language, and characteristics of *cordel* literature. The methodology involved a descriptive content analysis of the poem titled “Cordel da Dengue, Chikungunya e Zika Vírus” by Orlando Paiva. It was concluded that *cordel*, as a literary genre, provides satisfactory, informative content that effectively raises awareness and encourages measures against these diseases; it thus serves as a tool for information, prevention, and public alerts, combining factual information with regional cultural traditions.
