The authors present the results of a sero-epidemiological survey for rotavirus antibodies conducted among the Suruí and Karitiána, two amerindian groups of Rondônia, Brazilian Amazonia. The results indicate high percentages of seropositivity for both groups (67.8% among the Suruí and 77.4% among the Karitiána using ELISA and 45.5% for the Suruí and 56.7% for the Karitiána using indirect immunofluorescence). Chi square tests indicated no statistically significant association between group and seropositivity. The results are discussed in the light of other studies conducted among Brazilian amerindian groups.
作者展示了一项针对巴西亚马逊州朗多尼亚州的两个美洲印第安人群体——苏鲁伊族和卡里蒂亚纳族进行的轮状病毒抗体血清流行病学调查结果。结果显示这两个群体的血清阳性率都很高(使用酶联免疫吸附测定法时,苏鲁伊族为67.8%,卡里蒂亚纳族为77.4%;使用间接免疫荧光法时,苏鲁伊族为45.5%,卡里蒂亚纳族为56.7%)。卡方检验表明群体与血清阳性之间无统计学上的显著关联。研究结果结合在巴西美洲印第安人群体中开展的其他研究进行了讨论。
