Increasing seroprevalence of Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) with age confirms HHV-8 endemicity in Amazon Amerindians from Brazil
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) seroprevalences were determined in two isolated Amazon Amerindian tribes, according to age, gender and familial aggregation. Plasma and serum samples obtained from 982 Amazon Amerindians (664 Tiriyo and 318 Waiampi) were tested for antibodies against lytic and latent HHV-8 antigens by using 'in-house' immunofluorescence assays. Overall, HHV-8 seroprevalence was 56.8% (57.4% in the Tiriyo tribe and 55.7% in the Waiampi tribe). Seroprevalence was independent of gender and increased linearly with age: it was 35.0% among children aged 2-9 years, 51.4% in adolescents (10-19 years), 72.9% in adults and 82.3% in adults aged > 50 years. Interestingly, 44.4% of children under 2 years of age were HHV-8-seropositive. No significant differences in seroprevalence, between tribes and age groups were detected. It is concluded that HHV-8 is hyperendemic in Brazilian Amazon Amerindians, with vertical and horizontal transmission during childhood, familial transmission and sexual contact in adulthood contributing to this high prevalence in these isolated populations.8692433243

The Dark Energy Survey: Data Release 1
We describe the first public data release of the Dark Energy Survey, DES DR1,
consisting of reduced single epoch images, coadded images, coadded source
catalogs, and associated products and services assembled over the first three
years of DES science operations. DES DR1 is based on optical/near-infrared
imaging from 345 distinct nights (August 2013 to February 2016) by the Dark
Energy Camera mounted on the 4-m Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo
Inter-American Observatory in Chile. We release data from the DES wide-area
survey covering ~5,000 sq. deg. of the southern Galactic cap in five broad
photometric bands, grizY. DES DR1 has a median delivered point-spread function
of g = 1.12, r = 0.96, i = 0.88, z = 0.84, and Y = 0.90 arcsec FWHM, a
photometric precision of < 1% in all bands, and an astrometric precision of 151
mas. The median coadded catalog depth for a 1.95" diameter aperture at S/N = 10
is g = 24.33, r = 24.08, i = 23.44, z = 22.69, and Y = 21.44 mag. DES DR1
includes nearly 400M distinct astronomical objects detected in ~10,000 coadd
tiles of size 0.534 sq. deg. produced from ~39,000 individual exposures.
Benchmark galaxy and stellar samples contain ~310M and ~ 80M objects,
respectively, following a basic object quality selection. These data are
accessible through a range of interfaces, including query web clients, image
cutout servers, jupyter notebooks, and an interactive coadd image visualization
tool. DES DR1 constitutes the largest photometric data set to date at the
achieved depth and photometric precision

The Dark Energy Survey: Data Release 1
We describe the first public data release of the Dark Energy Survey, DES DR1, consisting of reduced single-epoch images, co-added images, co-added source catalogs, and associated products and services assembled over the first 3 yr of DES science operations. DES DR1 is based on optical/near-infrared imaging from 345 distinct nights (2013 August to 2016 February) by the Dark Energy Camera mounted on the 4 m Blanco telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. We release data from the DES wide-area survey covering ∼5000 deg2 of the southern Galactic cap in five broad photometric bands, grizY. DES DR1 has a median delivered point-spread function of g = 1.12, r = 0.96, i = 0.88, z = 0.84, and Y = 0.″90 FWHM, a photometric precision of <1% in all bands, and an astrometric precision of 151 . The median co-added catalog depth for a 1.″95 diameter aperture at signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) = 10 is g = 24.33, r = 24.08, i = 23.44, z = 22.69, and Y = 21.44. DES DR1 includes nearly 400 million distinct astronomical objects detected in ∼10,000 co-add tiles of size 0.534 deg2 produced from ∼39,000 individual exposures. Benchmark galaxy and stellar samples contain ∼310 million and ∼80 million objects, respectively, following a basic object quality selection. These data are accessible through a range of interfaces, including query web clients, image cutout servers, jupyter notebooks, and an interactive co-add image visualization tool.
