Article Synopsis
- The objective of the study was to estimate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in schoolchildren aged 4 to 14 in São Paulo during school closures due to COVID-19.
- A serological survey conducted in September 2020 revealed a 16.6% seroprevalence overall, with higher rates in municipal (18.5%) and state (16.2%) public schools compared to private ones (11.7%).
- The findings indicated that higher seroprevalence occurred among black and brown students and those in vulnerable social groups, highlighting the need for targeted public policies to monitor and protect these populations.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common SARS-CoV-2 infections were among residents 18 and older in São Paulo from June 2020 to February 2021 through a population-based survey conducted every 15 days.
- Researchers tested blood samples for antibodies and used a questionnaire to gather information on participants' demographics and social behaviors related to COVID-19.
- Results showed that 9.7% to 25.0% of participants had antibodies, with higher prevalence in marginalized groups, and highlighted social inequality as a significant factor in infection rates, while 45.1% of infections were asymptomatic.
Introduction: The Jirau hydroelectric power plant built in Rondônia state has environmental impacts that could be relevant to rabies outbreaks.
Methods: Bat populations were monitored for rabies by fluorescent antibody testing and simplified fluorescent inhibition microtesting between 2010 and 2015.
Results: All 1,183 bats tested negative for rabies.
The Trypanosoma comprises flagellates able to infect many mammalian species and is transmitted by several groups of invertebrates. The order Chiroptera can be infected by the subgenera Herpetosoma, Schizotrypanum, Megatrypanum and Trypanozoon. In this study, we described the diversity of bats trypanosomes, inferring the phylogenetic relationships among the trypanosomes from bats caught Belo Monte Hydroeletric area (Brazilian Amazonia).

Eighteen new occurrences of bat flies were recorded on Anoura geoffroyi (Anastrebla caudiferae), Glossophaga soricina (A. caudiferae), Sturnira lilium (Trichobius phyllostomae, T.
