    Foram estudadas a anemia e suas relações com a renda per capita em 1178 pessoas na cidade de Cáceres, Maio Grosso, Brasil nas faixas etárias de 6 a 14 anos (ambos os sexos), 15 a 45 anos do sexo feminino e 15 a 45 anos do sexo masculino. Encontrou-se maior prevalência de pessoas anêmicas nas faixas de renda < 1/4 do salário mínimo e 1/4 - 1/2 do salário mínimo nas três faixas etárias estudadas. Observou-se associação estatística entre a renda per capita e as médias de hemoglobina para as três faixas etárias.A study was made about anemia and its relationship with the income/per capita among 1178 individuals between the age of 6-14 years old (of both sex), 15 to 45 years old female, 15 to 45 years old male. It showed higher prevalence of anemic individuals belonging to the income ranges of 1/4 minimum salary and 1/4 -- 1/2 minimum salary within the three ranges of ages studied. It was observed a statistical relationship between the income/per capita and the average rates of hemoglobin for the three ranges of age

    The Pneumocystis genus is comprised of pathogens dwelling in the lungs of terrestrial, aerial, and aquatic mammals. Occasionally they induce severe pneumonitis, particularly in hosts with severe impairment of the immune system and progressively may fill pulmonary alveolar cavities causing respiratory failure. Molecular genetic studies revealed that Pneumocystis gene sequences present a marked divergence with the host species concerned. In the present study, the genetic diversity of Pneumocystis obtained from lungs of swines was examined by analyzing mitochondrial large subunit (mtLSU) and small subunit (mtSSU) rRNA sequences. The samples were obtained from two slaughterhouses located in two Brazilian states. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that genetic groupings within Pneumocystis organisms were in accordance with those of the corresponding hosts and that two clusters were formed. In conclusion, these data show that there are genetically distinct porcine Pneumocystis genotypes with at least two separate clusters in Brazil
