1. Food production potential of Favolus brasiliensis (Basidiomycota: Polyporaceae), an indigenous food
Abstract The Amazon region has shown commercial potential for native mushroom species, such as mushrooms produced by the Yanomami people, who already sell more than 10 Amazon species. Among the species collected and consumed by the Yanomami people is Favolus brasiliensis (Fr.) Fr. (Basidiomycota: Polyporaceae), which occurs naturally in tropical areas of Cen

2. Avaliação da Habilidade do Modelo WRF em Representar a Precipitação na Amazônia Usando Diferentes Escalas
Resumo A precipitação no norte da Amazônia dos verões e outonos austral, do período de 1988 a 1999, foi simulada utilizando o modelo regional Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF), através de uma abordagem em escalas distintas, com domínios aninhados de 45 e 15 km. As condições iniciais e de contorno foram obtidas da Climate Forecast System Reanaly

4. Physiological maturation in seeds of Lophantera lactescens Ducke
RESUMO Lophantera lactescens Ducke (Malphigiaceae) é uma planta arbórea que se propaga por sementes, exclusiva da região amazônica, mas amplamente distribuída na América do Sul. Diante disto, objetivou-se estudar o processo de maturação de sementes de L. lactescens, visando determinar o ponto de maturidade fisiológica e o momento adequado para a col

5. Diversity of metallo-β-lactamase-encoding genes found in distinct species of Acinetobacter isolated from the Brazilian Amazon Region
BACKGROUND The multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype is frequently observed in Acinetobacter baumannii, the most clinically relevant pathogenic species of its genus; recently, other species belonging to the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii complex have emerged as important MDR nosocomial pathogens. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to verify the occurrence

6. Izod impact energy study of re-forced polisher matrix compounds with curaous fibers aligned and epoxy matrix reinforced with piassava fibers
ABSTRACT Polymer matrix composites have been applied in components such as helmets and shielding for which toughness is a major requirement. Natural fiber presents interfacial characteristics with polymeric matrices that favor a high impact energy absorption by the composite structure. The objective of this work was then to assess the Izod impact resistance

7. Epidemiological study of snakebite cases in Brazilian Western Amazonia
Abstract INTRODUCTION Brazil has the largest number of snakebite cases in South America, of which the large majority is concentrated in the Midwest and North. METHODS In this descriptive observational study, we assessed the epidemiological and clinical snakebite cases referred to the Centro de Medicina Tropical de Rondônia from September 2008 to Septemb

8. Phylogeographic history of South American populations of the silky anteater Cyclopes didactylus (Pilosa: Cyclopedidae)
Abstract Cyclopes didactylus, commonly called silky anteater, is the smallest and least studied of the anteaters. It is an arboreal species occurring in rainforests, ranging from southern Mexico to Central and South America, with an apparently disjoint distribution between Amazon and Atlantic rainforests in Brazil. Although seven subspecies are recognized, l

9. Population structure and genetic diversity of the giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla: Myrmecophagidae, Pilosa) in Brazil
Abstract The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla, Pilosa, Linnaeus 1758) belongs to the mammalian order Pilosa and presents a large distribution along South America, occupying a great variety of habitats. It is listed in the IUCN Red List of threatened species as Vulnerable. Despite threatened, there is a lack of studies regarding its genetic variability

10. Jorge Lobo’s disease
AbstractJorge Lobo's Disease is a rare, chronic granulomatous cutaneous mycosis, which is typical of tropical and subtropical regions. It is caused by the traumatic implantation of the fungus Lacazia loboi into the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The disease was first described in 1931 by Jorge Lobo, in Recife (PE), Brazil. It is common in Central and South Am

12. Malaria in Brazil: what happens outside the Amazonian endemic region
Brazil, a country of continental proportions, presents three profiles of malaria transmission. The first and most important numerically, occurs inside the Amazon. The Amazon accounts for approximately 60% of the nation’s territory and approximately 13% of the Brazilian population. This region hosts 99.5% of the nation’s malaria cases, which are predomina
