Hepatitis viral en el estado de Piauí: caracterización epidemiológica en un centro de hematología y hemoterapia

As hepatites virais são doenças infecciosas que se caracterizam por apresentarem reações inflamatórias no fígado, podendo ser de evolução aguda ou crônica. São causadas por vírus hepatotrópicos, designados por letras do alfabeto e, devido a sua alta prevalência e potenciais complicações, constituem um grande problema de saúde pública. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a prevalência das hepatites “b” e “c” em doadores de sangue do estado do Piauí, através de um estudo soro epidemiológico dos pacientes que se candidataram a doação sanguínea no Hemocentro do Piauí (HEMOPI) no período de janeiro de 2008 a dezembro de 2010. Obtivemos os seguintes resultados, Em 2008 0,33% dos doadores estavam infectados pelo VHB e 0,41% pelo HCV, em 2009 0,24% estavam infectados pelo VHB e 0,19% pelo HCV, e em 2010 0,14% pelo VHB e 0,16% pelo HCV. Esta pesquisa realizada com os dados obtidos do Hemocentro do Piauí demonstra uma baixa prevalência das Hepatites B e C dos candidatos a doação, se comparados a várias pesquisas realizadas em Hemonúcleos de outros estados brasileiros.Viral hepatitis are infectious diseases that are characterized by presenting inflammatory reactions in the liver, which may be of acute or chronic evolution. They are caused by hepatotropic viruses, designated by letters of the alphabet and, due to their high prevalence and potential complications, constitute a major public health problem. This research aimed to analyze the prevalence of hepatitis “b” and “c” in blood donors from the state of Piauí, through an epidemiological study of patients who applied for blood donation at the Piauí Hemocenter (HEMOPI) January 2008 to December 2010. We obtained the following results. In 2008 0.33% of donors were infected with HBV and 0.41% with HCV, in 2009 0.24% were infected with HBV and 0.19% with HCV. , and in 2010 0.14% for HBV and 0.16% for HCV. This research conducted with data obtained from the Piauí Hemocenter demonstrates a low prevalence of Hepatitis B and C of donor candidates, compared to several studies conducted in Hemonuclei from other Brazilian states.La hepatitis viral son enfermedades infecciosas que se caracterizan por presentar reacciones inflamatorias en el hígado, que pueden ser de evolución aguda o crónica.

NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.

NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.
