This pilot study aimed to investigate genetic factors that may have contributed the milder clinical outcomes of COVID-19 in Brazilian indigenous populations. 263 Indigenous from Araweté, Kararaô, Parakanã, Xikrin do Bacajá, Kayapó and Munduruku peoples were analyzed, 55.2% women, ages ranging 10 95 years (average 49.5 ± 20.7). Variants genes involved entry SARS-CoV-2 into host cell (ACE1 rs1799752 I/D, ACE2 rs2285666 C/T, rs73635825 A/G TMPRSS2 rs123297605 C/T), genotyped Amazon, treated...
HTLV-1/2 infection is endemic in Indigenous peoples of the Americas. Its origin attributed to migratory flow Amerindian ancestral peoples. The present study aimed investigate seroprevalence Brazilian Amazon. A total 3350 people belonging 15 communities were investigated. investigation was performed using serological (ELISA), molecular (qPCR) and confirmatory (Western blot and/or Inno-Lia) tests detect differentiate infection. 8.3% for infection, with 0.1% individuals seropositive HTLV-1 8.1%...
Abstract Shifts in subsistence strategy among Native American people of the Amazon may be cause typically western diseases previously linked to modifications gut microbial communities. Here, we used 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing characterise microbiome 114 rural individuals, namely Xikrin, Suruí and Tupaiú, urban individuals from Belém city, Brazilian Amazon. Our findings show degree potential urbanisation occurring Amazonian communities characterised by gradual loss substitution taxa...
Available data show that the epidemiological profile of most indigenous Brazilian populations is characterized by coexistence long-standing health problems (high prevalence infectious and parasitic diseases, malnutrition, deficiency such as anemia in children women reproductive age), associated with new problems, especially those related to obesity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus dyslipidemia). Based on this scenario, study analyzed nutritional adult population seven peoples from...
This study was carried out to investigate the frequency of genetic variants related body mass index (BMI) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) evaluating potential impact risk alleles on susceptibility these disorders in six indigenous peoples from Brazilian Amazon region. The majority Fst values for pairwise population comparisons among groups are low or moderate. people show high differentiation with Africans, Europeans Southeast Asians moderate East Asian American populations, as expected. allelic...

Human T-limphotropic virus 1 infection has a global distribution, with high prevalence in some regions of Brazil and the world, while HTLV-2 is endemic mainly among indigenous people drug users. To analyze intrafamilial transmission HTLV-1/2 five Kayapó peoples (Gorotire, Kararaô, Kokraimoro, Kubenkokre, Xikrin do Bacajá), we investigated 1452 individuals who underwent serological molecular tests. Among 276 positive results, identified intrafamily 42.7% cases, representing 38 families. It...
Abstract The presence of lymphocytic alterations in the blood indigenous people infected with human T-lymphotropic virus 2 (HTLV-2) was investigated peripheral smears from 25 Xikrin do Bacajá ethnicity (11 men and 14 women) diagnosed HTLV-2 infection by Western blot qPCR. Smears were stained using Leishman method examined for lymphocyte morphology under an optical microscope. A group individuals seronegative HTLV-1/2 used as controls. Among HTLV-2-infected group, six slides (24%) showed...
