Avaliação da diversidade de insetos hematófagos da subordem Nematocera e de vertebrados silvestres: transmissão de arbovírus na área de influência do Projeto Salobo, Carajás, Pará

Aiming to evaluate the diversity of hematophagous insects and sylvan vertebrates, as well as the arbovirus fauna present in the area, a longitudinal study was performed in the Salobo Project area, Mineral Province of Carajas, Pará state, Brazil, between December 2005 and June 2007 (seven scientific expeditions), before the action of mineral extraction be launched. Insects belonging to the families Ceratopogonidae, Culicidae, Psychodidae, and Simulidae were collected using the miniature CDC and Shannon light traps, and human bait; sylvan vertebrates (birds, small mammals and reptilians) were also captured in the are using Shermann and Tommahwak traps. Biological specimens from insects and vertebrates were used to attempt of virus isolation in suckling mice, while the vertebrate serum samples to determine the antibody prevalence to 19 arboviruses by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) tests. A total of 44,795 (1,220 lots) hematophagous insects were collected, mostly of Psychodidae. The most abundant species of Culicidae were Haemagogus leucocelaenus and Haemgogus janthinomys; a total of 1,288 vertebrates were also captured; the rodents Proechimys guyannensis and Oryzomys capito, and the birds Turdus albicolis and Phlegopsis nigromaculata were the most prevalent species in the area. Three Tucunduba virus strains were isolated from lots of Anopheles (Nys.) sp., Culex coronator and Wyeomyia sp. HI antibodies were found to Bussuquara virus, Cacipacore virus, Icoaraci virus, Ilheus virus, Mucambo virus Rocio virus, Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV), and western equine encephalitis virus. The most prevalent arbovirus by HI was the SLEV.

Situação imunológica dos profissionais de saúde de um laboratório de pesquisa em relação ao vírus da hepatite B
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009-08-27) OLIVEIRA, Candida Maria Abrahão de; NUNES, Márcio Roberto Teixeira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0299116892743368
Hepatitis B is a serious problem of public health, in particular for health-workers, who have an increased risk of acquiring this disease, through contact with patients or infected materials, following accidents and, frequently, in the lack of preventive measures. The object of this study was to determine the prevalence by serologic markers of infection with hepatitis B virus, among workers of a research institute, by way of a descriptive and epidemiological study. 528 samples of blood were collected, during January - April, 2008, in order to analyse serologic markers of hepatitis B by immunnoenzimatic techniques, which detected a total prevalence of 39,7% for some marker of HBV, with 0,4% by HBsAg+; 8% by anti-HBc+/HBs+; 2,5% isolated anti-HBc+ and 28,8% by isolated anti-HBs+. Among the individuals interviewed 31,6%, they were vaccinated against hepatitis B, having among than 38,9% individuals with no response to the vaccine and 80,8% susceptible, made up of non-vaccinated individuals, those not responding to vaccination. These results indicate showed the necessity to carry out Regulation 32, of the Ministry of Work and Employment, protects the health-worker.
