“…From 1980 to 2005, only sporadic cases or self-limited outbreaks were reported in the Brazilian Amazon regions, mainly in small villages indicating potential silent circulation of the virus [ 54 ]. In most of the cases, laboratory diagnosis was achieved serologically by an HI test and IgM antibody capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (MAC Elisa) [ 54 , 55 , 56 ]. During 1980–2004, OROV fever spread to other northern (Amapá, Acre, Rondônia, Tocantins) and northeastern (Maranhão) Brazilian states [ 11 , 54 ].…”

“…Serologic procedures using different antigens have been routinely used for the detection of specific IgG and IgM antibodies. The available methods for laboratory diagnosis of OROV disease involve MAC Elisa, PRNT, complement fixation test (CFT), HI test [ 55 , 56 , 60 , 71 , 74 ] and EIA-ICC [ 3 ]. EIA-ICC has been also used for the detection of both IgM and IgG antibodies to OROV, in CSF samples [ 71 ].…”

Oropouche fever is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by Oropouche virus (OROV), an arthropod transmitted Orthobunyavirus circulating in South and Central America. During the last 60 years, more than 30 epidemics and over half a million clinical cases attributed to OROV infection have been reported in Brazil, Peru, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago. OROV fever is considered the second most frequent arboviral febrile disease in Brazil after dengue fever. OROV is transmitted through both urban and sylvatic transmission cycles, with the primary vector in the urban cycle being the anthropophilic biting midge Culicoides paraensis. Currently, there is no evidence of direct human-to-human OROV transmission. OROV fever is usually either undiagnosed due to its mild, self-limited manifestations or misdiagnosed because its clinical characteristics are similar to dengue, chikungunya, Zika and yellow fever, including malaria as well. At present, there is no specific antiviral treatment, and in the absence of a vaccine for effective prophylaxis of human populations in endemic areas, the disease prevention relies solely on vector control strategies and personal protection measures. OROV fever is considered to have the potential to spread across the American continent and under favorable climatic conditions may expand its geographic distribution to other continents. In view of OROV’s emergence, increased interest for formerly neglected tropical diseases and within the One Health concept, the existing knowledge and gaps of knowledge on OROV fever are reviewed.

“…The traps used in this study captured species of importance to public health. Among them it is worth mentioning the Coquillettidia venezuelensis that is competent to transmit the Oropuche virus and the eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) ( Forattini 1965 , Rosa et al 1996 ). Anopheles cruzii and Anopheles bellator are local vectors of Plasmodium sp.…”

Traps are widely employed for sampling and monitoring mosquito populations for surveillance, ecological and fauna studies. Considering the importance of assessing other technologies for sampling mosquitoes, we addressed the effectiveness of Mosquito Magnet® Independence (MMI) in comparison with those of the CDC trap with CO2 and Lurex3® (CDC-A) and the CDC light trap (CDC-LT). Field collections were performed in a rural area within the Atlantic Forest biome, southeastern state of São Paulo, Brazil. The MMI sampled 53.84% of the total number of mosquitoes, the CDC-A (26.43%) and CDC-LT (19.73%). Results of the Pearson chi-squared test (χ2) showed a positive association between CDC-LT and species of Culicini and Uranotaeniini tribes. Additionally, our results suggested a positive association between CDC-A and representatives of the Culicini and Aedini tribes, whereas the MMI was positively associated with the Mansoniini and Sabethini as well as with Anophelinae species. The MMI sampled a greater proportion (78.27%) of individuals of Anopheles than either the CDC-LT (0.82%) or the CDC-A traps (20.91%). Results of the present study showed that MMI performed better than CDC-LT or CDC-A in sampling mosquitoes in large numbers, medically important species and assessing diversity parameters in rural southeastern Atlantic Forest.

“…This number corresponded to the infection of about five of the six thousand inhabitants in the area. It was also common for gold prospectors to suffer mercury poisoning and problems caused by venomous animals, such as snakes (ROSA et AL., 1996). removed and fifty thousand gold miners struggled to keep the pit two hundred meters deep.…”

FROM THE DREAM OF GOLD TO ACCESS TO LAND: Signs of Violence in Serra Pelada and Life Stories in Palmares II

The purpose of this article is to show that Serra Pelada (1980-1992), the largest open gold-digging in the world, has a close relationship with the establishment or rural settlements in southeastern Pará. To demonstrate that the epic of the prospectors and the historic struggle of workers for a piece of land have been linked for more than three decades, two resources are used: a photography taken by Sebastião Salgado in Serra Pelada, in 1986, and testimonies from ex- garimpeiros who now lives in Palmares II, a settlement created in Parauabepas, in 1996. The discussion is based on the social-political-economic context of the military dictatorship and the first actions of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) in Pará.
