(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2009) NOBRE, Angélica Homobono; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048
The work aims at traditional health and proposes the research of knowledge and practice of traditional healthcare practitioners who apply body techniques to heal those who seek help. Conducted in two separate locations – Icoaraci District in Belém Metropolitan Area and in Chipaiá village in Cachoeira do Arari municipality in Marajó Island, both in the Brazilian Amazon – study explores the social construction of traditional healthcare practices as symbolic-magic and social element. Research methods involved observation and open interviews of/with eight different practitioners, four in each location, to understand and deepen knowledge on a popular massage practice named “puxação” which belongs to the Traditional Healthcare System (STAS). Study discusses concepts of creed, myth and symbolic representation in traditional knowledge; the way rituals are conducted and how such practices contribute to the social construction of traditional health practitioners; concepts of health and disease according to STAS understanding; the relationship between healing practices and the social system. Analysis also presents the interrelation between two different rituals Alma Mater massage in Portuguese, “puxação-da-mãe-do-corpo“ and Pregnant Massage “puxação de barriga-cheia” unique STAS practices, their importance for women´s health as well as their influence on the Western Healthcare System (SOAS).

De caco a espetáculo: a produção cerâmica de Cachoeira do Arari (ilha do Marajó, PA)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-09-25) LINHARES, Anna Maria Alves; BELTRÃO, Jane Felipe; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6647582671406048
Artisans from Cachoeira do Arari, located in Marajó fields, in the State of Pará, they reproduce copied ceramic pieces of archeological objects found in stiff of the place. Nowadays, the objects are exposed in the Museum of Marajó, located in Cachoeira. The museum was created by Giovanni Gallo, Italian priest that arrived in the area in the 70's. The objective of this work is to analyze the several appropriation forms and reverse-significance of that archeological patrimony, the artistic and/or expository, the scientific and marketing, in other words, their several metamorphoses. It is worth to stress that the spectaclelization of that patrimony felt starting from the moment that of mere bits of Indians that lived in the area, called marajoaras, and that they cared the residents when found them in their houses yards, according to narratives orals, they turned tourist spectacles, commercial and cultural identification.

Dinâmica dos sistemas de produção familiares da Ilha de Marajó: o caso do município de Cachoeira do Arari
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2005) BARBOSA, Tienne Milena Farias; VEIGA, Jonas Bastos da; TOURRAND, Jean-François; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8639491246142272; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6059507906010877
The traditional Amazonian is the Rivers Amazonian. It is a spacial and economic occupation standard very important for regional development. The empirical general space of this research is the Marajó Archipelago, part of the Rivers’ Amazonian. The Amazonian spacial organization has changed in the past years. This change contains a lot of dynamics about the agriculture productive systems and complex economic, social and ambient results. Many realized studies have produced different interpretations about the agriculture activities support in the brazilian and international Amazon. For example, some studies of cattlebreeding to the bovines and buffalo identify that this activity is not been practiced only in the big establishments, like in the past decades. The “pecuarização” process brought it into the little scale creation in familiar economy. This research approaches fundamentally which dynamics have been processed or formed in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari, situated in Marajó Island-PA, specially from 1994 to 2004. The work was carried with peasant families from six communities (Bacuri, Camará, Caracará, Gurupá, Jabuti and Retiro Grande). The principal objective of this work was to characterize the socioeconomic dynamics occurred in the above period. The results of this study can subsidize future researches and public politics that seek the agriculture production support perspectives. It was used a methodology based in three important aspects: the production system diversity study; the photography through a typology of the production system dynamic study; and the movie through the typology evolution analysis. The identified types as results from the making up data were: subsistence, açaizeiro, abacaxizeiro, pecuaçaí, pecuarista and outrarenda. This study verified a great variation of production systems and identified different dynamics in proprieties, as well as the determining facts of viability of production systems and public policies demands.

Escolarização, capital social e participação sócio-política em uma comunidade amazônica: Retiro Grande/Marajó
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-08-14) SEMBLANO, Josiane do Socorro Caleja; OLIVEIRA, Ney Cristina Monteiro de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4355112931326342
This work is a study about participation and social e political involvement of the inhabitants of the area of Retiro Grande in the Island of the Marajó, in the Town of de Cachoeira do Arari. This area was chosen by be a locality situated in a region where decrease conditions socio-economics predominate, however, where his inhabitants began to be organized for exced the problems and lacks that faced. These actions began with undertakings carried out of form association in the own area and were expanded up to participation in the local public sphere. The objective of this inquiry is going to uncover which the elements that permitted (facilitated) the trials of organization, collective action and political participation between theinhabitants of that locality. Two factors were considered: the education and the capital stock. The questions that guided this inquiry were: which the paper performed by the capital stock in the provoc of the trials of organization and communal commitment in the area of Retiro Grande? Which the influence of the education about the levels of participation and involvement partner of his inhabitants. For it do this first inquiry did itself a revision of the bibliography about the capital stock and education as well as about the Town of Cachoeira do Arari. In the following phase treated of the field work for the obtaining of the facts it will be analyzed. I concluded that the capital stock generated from the factors of cohesion of the community was the fundamental factor for produce the capacity of organization and communal involvement of the inhabitants of Retiro Grande and the development between them of the political and social participation. However the capital stock produced and accumulated was prominent by means of the action of the catholic church in this region, stimulating organization and to finalist of local leaderships. The education did not have prominent paper in these trials, was, to the contrary one, a resultant one of the operation of these factors.

Estudo genotípico de Trypanosoma cruzi: epidemiologia e caracterização molecular de isolados do homem, triatomíneos e mamíferos silvestres do Pará, Amapá e Maranhão
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) VALENTE, Vera da Costa; TEIXEIRA, Marta Maria Geraldes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8067345143353691
The acute Chagas disease (ACD) is endemic in the Brazilian Amazon, and its main transmission route is oral, throughout family and multi-family outbreaks. This route is independent from the colonization of triatomine bugs in dwellings and its occurrence is regular, with mean rates of 100 cases per year and a lethality rate of 5%. The disease has a well-defined spatio-temporal distribution, which makes it a relevant public health concern in the states of Pará, Amapá and Amazonas. The existence of wild mammals and triatomine bugs naturally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi inhabiting different terrestrial and arboreal ecotopes maintains an intense enzootic cycle all over the Amazon region. Molecular profiles of T. Cruzi lineages in the region are associated with mammal reservoirs (including humans), triatomine bugs, ecotopes and clinical manifestations. We analyzed four ACD outbreaks in the municipalities of Barcarena, Belém and Cachoeira do Arari on Pará State, and Santana on Amapá State, based on epidemiologic features (laboratory, parasitological and serological diagnoses, clinical manifestations and the reservoirs and wild triatomines related to the outbreaks). We also investigated the domestic and wild transmission cycles of T. cruzi in São Luis on Maranhão State, without the occurrence of ACD cases. This study comprised molecular genotyping of T. cruzi on the mini-exon gene of the isolates associated with both transmission cycles (humans, mammals and wild triatomine vectors). Parasitological diagnosis was confirmed in 63 patients with the following sensitivity rates: 41.3% (26/63) for the thick blood film method; 58.7% (37/63) for QBC; 79.4% (50/63) for xenodiagnosis; and 61.9% (39/63) for blood culture. The serological diagnosis of 2648 individuals by indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA) was of 3.05% (81/2648), whereas the results of the indirect immunofluorescence test (IIF) were 2.49% (66/2648) for IgG and 2.37% (63/2648) for IgM. All tests carried out in São Luís were negative. A total of 24 mammals, 13 Didelphis marsupialis, 1 Marmosa cinerea, 5 Philander opossum, 3 Metachirus nudicaudatus, 1 Oryzomys macconnelli, 1 Oecomys bicolor and 433 R. rattus were captured. The infection rate for T. cruzi was of 7.14% (29/404). A total of 3279 triatomine bugs were captured: T. rubrofasciata (n=3008) and infection rate (IR) of 30.46%, (39/128) and R. robustus (n=137) IR of 76% (79/104), R. pictipes (n=94), IR of 56.9% (49/86%) E. mucronatus (n=6) and P. geniculatus (n=12) IR of 50% and the other non-infected species R. neglectus (n=5) and P. lignarius (n=6). Palm trees were the main ecotopes for the wild triatomine bugs. S. martiana was infested with 47.41% (101/213) of the triatomines; Maximiliana regia, 35,21% (75/213); Orbgnya speciosa, 5.16% (11/213); Eleas melanoccoca), 1.87% (4/213); and Oenocarpus bacaba, 10.32% (22/213). Genotyping was carried out using 46 isolates of trypanosomes obtained from humans, 31 from wild mammals and 74 from samples of triatomine bugs. All isolates were characterized as belonging to the Tcl lineage. All human cases in Pará were characterized as positive by parasitological testing. Not all the cases in Santana were tested positive because of the delay on diagnosis, but they were defined as positive. Xenodiagnosis, blood culture and QBC® were more sensitive than the thick blood film. Serological examinations by IHA and IIF (IgG and IgM) presented an optimal sensitivity to detect acute cases in different moments of infection. Mammals (D. marsupialis) and wild triatomine bugs (R. pictipes and P. geniculatus) infected with high infection rates of T. cruzi in the patients’ peridomicile area account for the importance of these reservoirs in the transmission cycle of the ACD, and are associated with its transmission. Even though several genotypes of T. cruzi circulate in the Amazon Region, only the Tcl lineage was identified in the patients, mammals and triatomines investigated in this study. In São Luís, in spite of these having no record of human cases of ACD, it has a domestic cycle associated with the black rat and the triatomine bugs of the species T. rubrofasciata, as well as a sylvatic cycle associated with didelphids. The Tcl cycles circulate in both cycles. Studies with isolates of local T. cruzi using markers with a higher definition might help clarify the transmission cycles, transmission routes and the reservoirs involved in cases of ACD in the Amazon Region.

Intoxicação natural por Ipomoea asarifolia (Convolvulaceae) em búfalos na Ilha de Marajó, Pará
(2012-09) BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes; TOKARNIA, Carlos Maria Antônio Hubinger; ALBERNAZ, Tatiane Teles; OLIVEIRA, Carlos Magno Chaves; SILVA, Natália da Silva e; SILVEIRA, José Alcides Sarmento da; REIS, Alessandra dos Santos Belo; LIMA, Danillo Henrique da Silva
Epidemiological aspects and clinical signs of natural poisoning by Ipomoea asarifolia in buffaloes are described. The poisoning was diagnosed in four buffaloes on three different farms, in the County of Cachoeira do Arari, Marajó Island, Pará, and occurred in November-December, a period of drought and severe pasture shortage. The clinical signs were of the central nervous system, as unsteady gait, hypermetria, severe muscular tremors, falling down in unusual positions, nystagmus and marked excitement, signs that turned more severe after movement. Based on the epidemic aspects, clinical signs and absence of histopatological changes, poisoning by Ipomoea asarifolia was diagnosed.

Intoxicação por Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa (Convolvulaceae) em caprinos na Ilha do Marajó, Pará
(2009-07) OLIVEIRA JÚNIOR, Carlos Alberto de; BARBOSA NETO, José Diomedes; DUARTE, Marcos Dutra; CERQUEIRA, Valíria Duarte; CORREA, Franklin Riet; TORTELLI, Fábio Py; RIVERO, Gabriela Riet Correa
Ipomoea carnea subsp. fistulosa is a swainsonine-containing plant causing a glycoprotein storage diseases in ruminants, mainly in goats in northeastern Brazil. Seven farms were visited on the Marajo Island, state of Pará, northern Brazil, six in the municipality of Cachoeira do Arari and one in the municipality of Soure. In all farms native pastures had shortage of forage and were largely invaded by I. carnea subsp. fistulosa. On the three farms goats presented difficulties in standing, ataxia, hypermetria, wide-based stance, lateral gait, intention tremors, spastic paresis or weakness, abnormal postural reactions, nystagmus, loss of equilibrium and falling to the side or backward. On two farms the prevalence was of 32% (23/71) and 100% (32/32). On another farm one goat out of 19 had severe clinical signs, but the others of the flock were not examined clinically. Cattle, sheep and buffaloes were not affected. Six goats were euthanized and necropsied. No gross lesions were observed. Upon histological examination the main lesion was the vacuolization of the perikaryon of neurons and cytoplasm of epithelial cells of thyroid, liver, kidney, pancreas and macrophages of different organs. In the central nervous system the vacuolization of the perikaria was more severe in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum and in nuclei of the brain stem, mainly the cerebellar nuclei. Wallerian degeneration of axons and gliosis was also observed. The high frequency of the disease on the three farms suggests that poisoning by I. carnea subsp. fistulosa is very important for goats on Marajó Island where there are large amounts of the plant in the pastures.
