“…This prevalence underscores the fact that the dynamics of malaria transmission in Ananindeua are similar to those reported in other areas of the country (6) (19) (20) (21) , where this species of Plasmodium is responsible for most detected cases. In addition, the State of Pará has an API ≥ 50, classifying it as a high-risk area for malaria, due to the high number of reported cases.…”

“…Brazil is also showing a reduction in the number of annual malaria cases, in 2014 it had the lowest number of cases in the last 35 years (Brasil, 2015) The Annual Parasite Index (IPA) of the municipality of Marabá declined during the study period, in agreement with Sousa et al, (2015) who found results of IPA decline in most of the municipalities of the low Amazonas -Pará region, between 2009 and 2013. And Parise et al, (2012) that during the period from 2003 to 2008 found a lowrisk IPA in all the municipalities that make up the micro-regions of Tocantins.…”

“…For effective control of malaria is done, it is necessary that in addition to the identification and intervention of the determining factors, there is also the knowledge of seasonal, cyclical and historical variations of the disease in each location (Braz et al, 2013). Malaria, present in more than 109 countries and territories, is a disease present in the tropical and subtropical regions of the planet, affecting almost 50% of the population, and annually results in the loss of thousands of lives, with sub-Saharan Africa accounting for about 90% of all malaria cases and deaths in the world (Parise et al, 2012). In the world, in the year 2000 were 262 million cases and 839 thousand deaths; in the year 2015 were 214 million cases and 438 thousand deaths (Parise et al, 2012;WHO, 2015).…”

Malaria is a tropical disease caused by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium (Aconoidasida: Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae). The Brazilian Amazon is the area with the highest risk of malaria transmission in the country. The aim of this study was to trace the epidemiological profile of malaria patients between 2010 and 2015, in the Municipality of Marabá, State of Pará, North Brazil. Secondary data were used, of Sivep-malaria of the Municipal Health Department of the municipality. The variables analyzed were the incidence autochthonous or imported cases, genus, species of the causative parasite infection during pregnancy and parasitic annual index. Data analysis used the Chi-Square Test, in the Biostat 5.0. The annual parasitic index (IPA) of malaria cases in Marabá in 2010 was 3.7, followed by the year of 2011 with 2.7, from the year 2012 the IPA drops sharply to 0.68, followed by the years 2013, 2014 and 2015, which presented an IPA of 0.1, 0.07 and 0.01 respectively. Data on the contamination site revealed that 51% of the cases in the period studied were of imported origin and 49% were autochthonous, and there was no significant statistical difference between the years. Males were the most affected by the disease (67%). The most common parasitic species was Plasmodium vivax. Malaria cases have been reduced over the years, and this is due to several factors, such as better access to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, to the control of the vectors, and to the constant work of epidemiological surveillance, although underreporting is still a great problem in the measurement of the actual numbers of cases.

“…No Tocantins, estudos relataram casos de malária com as espécies Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum e Plasmodium malariae 44,45 . A presença de pessoas HbS e HbC, demonstrada neste trabalho, pode ser um fator limitante para a proliferação da malária em algumas regiões desse Estado.…”

RESUMOOBJETIVO: Verificar a incidência de hemoglobinas de descendência africana (HbS e HbC) em comunidades quilombolas do estado do Tocantins, Brasil. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foi coletado o sangue de quilombolas em 14 comunidades do Estado; a triagem foi realizada em eletroforese de acetato de celulose (pH 8,6), e aquelas com padrão alterado foram submetidas à cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência, sendo registrados o gênero e a idade das pessoas amostradas. RESULTADOS: A análise dos resultados demonstrou que, dos 822 quilombolas investigados, 95 apresentaram hemoglobinas anormais, sendo 0,5% com doença falciforme (HbSS); 5,7% traço para hemoglobina S (HbAS); 4,9% traço para hemoglobina C (HbAC); 0,2% com hemoglobina fetal aumentada; 0,1% com hemoglobina A 2 aumentada; e 88,4% com hemoglobina normal (HbAA). HbSS foi observada na faixa etária infantil e adolescente e HbAS e HbAC em todas as faixas etárias. Em relação ao sexo, não foi possível sugerir o efeito materno para HbS, devido ao maior quantitativo de pessoas do sexo masculino com essa informação genética. CONCLUSÃO: Neste estudo, a incidência das HbS e HbC, observada nas comunidades quilombolas, esteve dentro do esperado para a Região Norte do Brasil. No entanto, destacam-se a elevada prevalência da doença falciforme e a grande frequência de traço falciforme em algumas das comunidades estudadas, com atenção especial para a região sul do Estado. Desse modo, os resultados aqui apresentados sinalizam risco iminente para o aumento da incidência da doença no Tocantins.Palavras-chave: Anemia Falciforme; Traço Falciforme; Hemoglobina C; Hemoglobina Falciforme.Correspondência / Correspondence: Carla Simone Seibert Rua 03, lote 17, s/n.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood samples were collected from 14 quilombola communities in the State; the screening was performed in cellulose acetate electrophoresis (pH 8.6), and those samples with altered standard were submitted to high performance liquid chromatography, recording gender and age of the quilombola people. RESULTS: The analysis of the results showed that of the 822 quilombolas investigated 95 presented abnormal hemoglobins, 0.5% with sickle cell disease (HbSS); 5.7% for hemoglobin S trait (HbAS); 4.9% for hemoglobin C trait (HbAC); 0.2% with increased fetal hemoglobin; 0.1% with increased hemoglobin A 2 ; and 88.4% with normal hemoglobin (HbAA). HbSS was observed in infant and adolescent groups and HbAS and HbAC in all age groups. About sex, it was not possible to suggest the maternal effect for HbS due to the greater quantitative of males with this genetic information. CONCLUSION: In the current study the incidence of HbS and HbC observed in quilombola communities was within the expected range for the Northern Reg...
