Acute diarrheal disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries and one of the factors that contributes to the worsening of the nutritional status of children. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, epidemiological and molecular profile of infections by viral and parasitic agents in children aged 0-10 years and those over 10 years of quilombo of Abacatal in the 2008-2010 period. Fecal samples from 294 children were collected in the age group 0-10 years and 81 individuals over 10 years, residents of the community Abacatal, Ananindeua, Pará, which had acute diarrhea board or without diarrhea (controls). The viral diagnosis was made by immunochromatographic and molecular tests and parasitological by Faust and Hoffman method. A total of 375 fecal samples were obtained from 177 individuals. The frequency of viral agents in this study were rotavirus group A rotavirus C and picobirnavirus group by 6.4% (24/375), 0.3% (1/375) and 1.3% (5/375 ), respectively.The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis confirmed the presence of rotavirus in 23 of 10 samples (43.48%) having short profile of 13 (56.5%) long profile. The presence of intestinal parasites was observed in 272 (77.94%) samples, and the most common were Ascaris lumbricoides detected in 13.18% (46/349) of the samples, followed by Trichuris trichiura with 10.88% (38 / 349), hookworms with 4.01% (14/349) and Strongyloides stercoralis 1.72% (6/349). Of the 24 samples positive for rotavirus group A the following genotypes were detected: G2P [4] (12.50%, 3/24); G1P [8] (25.00%, 6/24), G3P [9] (29.20%, 7/24) and G12P [6] (33.33%, 8/24). Two new genotypes were detected for VP6 genes (I18) and NSP1 (A19) of rotavirus A. Nutritional assessment of 38 children was conducted, showing that 18 4% (7/38) presented malnourished. This study highlights the need to implement preventive actions in the community, including education measures for health, vaccination against rotavirus, and even the implementation of programs to control parasitic infestations.

Pesquisa de rotavírus e endoparasitos em animais na comunidade quilombola do Abacatal, munícipio de Ananindeua, Pará

Rotaviruses (RVs) are the leading cause of acute diarrhea in children of low age, but also in young animals of various species. Are excreted in faeces and transmitted the fecal-oral route. Studies show that it is very important for epidemiological investigations to characterize samples of RVs isolated from animals. Intestinal parasites also pose a serious public health problem, being a major factor of morbidity and mortality in children and protein-energy malnutrition arising frameworks of chronic diarrhea. This study aimed to identify and endoparasites RVs circulating in dogs, cats and chickens Community Quilombola of Abacatal, Ananindeua, Pará. For the years 2008 and 2009 were collected 202 fecal samples, from dogs (96/2002, 47.5%), cats (8/2002, 4%) and chickens (98/2002, 48.5%). All samples were subjected to electrophoresis on immunochromatography and polyacrylamide gel for the identification of RVs, but in both cases we obtained 100% negativity. For the identification of endoparasites samples were subjected to a flotation technique with sucrose solution, the parasites most frequently found in dogs were Ancylostoma sp Spirocerca sp, Toxocara sp / Toxascaris sp, Trichuris sp and coccidio, and cats were Ancylostoma sp (5/8, 62,5%), Toxocara sp / sp Toxascaris (2/8, 25%) and Trichuris sp (1/8, 12,5%). In chickens were Ascaridia sp / sp Heterakis (33/62, 53,23%), Capillaria sp (39/62, 62,9%), Coccidio (6/62, 9,68%), Dispharynx sp (15/62, 24,19%) and Trichostrongyloidea sp (11/62, 17,74%). From the results, we concluded that the site poses a risk to human parasitic infestation, with the possibility of soil contamination by faeces and the development of zoonoses.
