The extinction of yellow fever in the state of São Paulo (Brazil), and in the city of Rio de Janeiro

This paper includes an analysis of the length distribution of Sardine landed from the Lagoon of Cananéia in the south of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, in which it is shown that young Sardines appear in the catches during October, grow quickly until about January, and then more slowly until they reach the length of 14 cm in April. They then disappear from the Lagoon. A correlation is made between the landings of larger Sardine in Rio de Janeiro and the small Sardine landed in Cananéia the previous year. It is suggested that the abundance of Sardine landed in Cananéia may be used as an index of abundance in the following year at Rio de Janeiro.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the allocation of financial resources in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) in the state of São Paulo by level of care, health region, source of funds and level of government. METHODS: This is an exploratory study based on 2014 data extracted from the Public Health Budget Database, presented in absolute terms, relative terms and per capita. RESULTS: In 2014, R$52.1 bi were spent on public health, 58.0% having corresponded to the expenditures of the municipalities and 42.0% to those of the state government. Regional per capita spending varied from R$561.75 to R$824.85. As for the per capita spending on primary health care, which represented 37.5% of the municipalities’ total expenditure, the lowest value was found in the city of São Paulo and the highest, in Araçatuba. Campinas had the highest per capita expenditure on medium and high complexity care, while Presidente Prudente had the lowest. The highest regional percentage of the current net revenue spent on health was verified in Registro, and the lowest, in the city of São Paulo. CONCLUSIONS: The paradigm of the health sector’s financing in São Paulo revealed that the expenditure on primary health care, level elected by health policy as strategic because it depends on coordination and integral health care in the attention networks, was not considered a priority in relation to the expenditure with the medium and high complexity, exposing the iniquities in the state’s regions.

A medição da velocidade de propagação de ondas ultrassônicas, método de análise não destrutivo, é uma técnica eficiente para avaliar o estado de conservação da rocha e a profundidade de penetração de consolidantes em monumentos. Este trabalho objetiva analisar monumentos pétreos da cidade de São Paulo com base nesta técnica. A superfície de acabamento é um ponto chave na obtenção dos dados, uma vez que superfícies polidas permitem o perfeito acoplamento dos transdutores, favorecendo a execução do ensaio de forma adequada. Os dados apontam rochas não alteradas ou ausência de fraturamento nos monumentos analisados. Abstract: Ultrasound pulse velocity, a non-destructive analytical method, is an efficient technique to evaluate the state of conservation of the rock and the depth of penetration of consolidants in monuments. This work aims to analyze stone monuments of the city of São Paulo based on this method. The finishing surface is a key point in obtaining the data, since polished surfaces allow the perfect coupling of the transducers, favoring the performance of the test in an appropriate manner. The data indicate unweathered rocks or absence of fractures in the analyzed monuments.

Substantial Heterogeneity

AbstractSão Paulo (SP), a densely inhabited state in southeast Brazil that contains the fourth most populated city in the world, recently experienced its largest yellow fever virus (YFV) outbreak in decades. YFV does not normally circulate extensively in SP, so most people were unvaccinated when the outbreak began. Surveillance in non-human primates (NHPs) is important for determining the magnitude and geographic extent of an epizootic, thereby helping to evaluate the risk of YFV spillover to humans. Data from infected NHPs can give more accurate insights into YFV spread than when using data from human cases alone. To contextualise human cases, identify epizootic foci and uncover the rate and direction of YFV spread in SP, we generated and analysed virus genomic data and epizootic case data from NHP in SP. We report the occurrence of three spatiotemporally distinct phases of the outbreak in SP prior to February 2018. We generated 51 new virus genomes from YFV positive cases identified in 23 different municipalities in SP, mostly sampled from non-human primates between October 2016 and January 2018. Although we observe substantial heterogeneity in lineage dispersal velocities between phylogenetic branches, continuous phylogeographic analyses of generated YFV genomes suggest that YFV lineages spread in São Paulo state at a mean rate of approximately 1km per day during all phases of the outbreak. Viral lineages from the first epizootic phase in northern São Paulo subsequently dispersed towards the south of the state to cause the second and third epizootic phases there. This alters our understanding of how YFV was introduced into the densely populated south of SP state. Our results shed light on the sylvatic transmission of yellow fever in highly fragmented forested regions in SP state and highlight the importance of continued surveillance of zoonotic pathogens in sentinel species.Author’s SummarySince July 2016, the southeast region of Brazil has experienced the largest yellow fever virus (YFV) outbreak in decades. São Paulo is the most densely populated state in southeast Brazil. The outbreak has caused serious public health concern in the state, as YFV does not normally circulate widely there and most of the 21 million inhabitants were correspondingly unvaccinated against YFV when the outbreak began. In Brazil, YFV typically circulates among non-human primates, and human cases represent isolated spillover events from this predominantly sylvatic cycle. Understanding the epidemiological dynamics and spread of YFV in non-human primates is therefore critical for contextualising human cases, and guiding vaccination strategies that can better protect local human populations. Here, we aim to contextualise human cases, identify epizootic foci and uncover the rate and direction of YFV spread in SP. We analyse the geographic and temporal distribution of observed cases of YFV in non-human primates in São Paulo state, and identify three distinct phases of the epizootic. We generate sequence data from 51 YFV-positive cases and perform phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses aimed at understanding the spatial spread of YFV in São Paulo state. Analyses of these data indicate that YFV spread from the north of São Paulo state into more densely populated southern regions. Although we observe substantial heterogeneity in the rate at which different sampled YFV lineages spread, the typical rate of spread was low with a mean rate of ~1 km per day. This is consistent with a scenario in which the majority of transmission events occurred between non-human primates and sylvatic vectors across forested patches.Article Summary LineGenomic surveillance of yellow fever in São Paulo during the 2016-2018 epizootic

O presente artigo comporta uma investigação a respeito das formas de inserção de três imigrantes portugueses na vila paulista de Paranaguá, no contexto das décadas de 1770 a 1790. A finalidade central deste estudo consiste em produzir um conhecimento a respeito das formas de absorção de portugueses á vida social de uma vila colonial situada no extremo sul da Capitania de São Paulo. Nesse quadro, o desenvolvimento dessa análise é realizado por meio da sustentação de quatro argumentos. Primeiro, é demonstrado que havia ocasiões nas quais o estabelecimento na vila de Paranaguá por um imigrante português era decorrente do insucesso da iniciativa de se fixar em praça mercantil de maior porte. Segundo, evidencia-se que os portugueses radicados em Paranaguá possuáam conexões sociais e comerciais em distintas áreas do litoral Sudeste, notadamente a cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A manutenção dessas conexões criava uma diná¢mica de absorção de caixeiros á vila de Paranaguá. O quarto argumento afirma que a constituição de vánculo com um compatrácio era operacional para o jovem reinol enraizar-se na sociedade receptora. Por fim, é evidenciado que não era incomum que a obtenção de um treinamento profissional pelos reinóis ocorresse na época da menoridade.Palavras-chave: Brasil Meridional. Comércio.

The main purpose of this study is to produce knowledge about the Portuguese absorption of social life of a colonial municipality located at the southern end of the Captaincy of São Paulo. Thus, the development of this analysis is done supported by four statements. First, it is shown that there are occasions when the establishment in the municipality of Paranaguá by a Portuguese immigrant was due to the failure of the initiative to establish itself in a larger market square. Second, it is evident that Portuguese people living in Paranaguá had social and commercial connections in different space areas along the Southeast coast, notably the city of Rio de Janeiro. The maintenance of these connections used to create a dynamic of absorption of the traveling men to the municipality of Paranaguá. The third argument states that the establishment of a bond with a compatriot was operative for the young Portuguese realm to take root in the receiving society. At last, it is evidenced that it was not uncommon that obtaining a professional retinue training occured at the time of minority.Keywords: Southern Brazil. Commerce.
