Abstract

Blood group antigens were investigated among 400 gabonese individuals subdivided in 6 ethnic groups. The frequencies were calculated and compared to those reported by MOURANT and al. on geographically close African populations. Our data enter the limits already known for a few antigens of ABO, Lewis, Rhesus, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, MNSs, P and Lutheran systems. In addition, we have observed some rare phenotypes: 12 S--s U--, 1 Lu(a--b--), 2 I negative and 7 Sc: --1.

Genetic studies in French Guiana populations: Synthesis.

Twelve blood group and protein systems from a total of 819 individuals from six tribal groups (Apalaí-Wayana, Emerillon, Kaliña, Palikur Wayampi, and Wayana) living in French Guiana and Brazil were compared with each other and integrated with previous results from 17 other South Amerindian populations studied for the same genetic markers. Using correspondence analysis, map methodologies, and maximum linkage cluster analysis developed with the UPGMA method, we attempted to establish the genetic position of these tribes among South American Indians. Peripheral positions for the Emerillon and the Palikur were observed. Ethnohistorical data in French Guiana suggest that a strong founder effect for the former and endogamy for the latter could have generated the genetic differentiation of these two ethnic groups. However, when considered in a wider context, all French Guiana Natives cluster together in an intermediate position as compared with 17 other Amerindian groups studied for the comparison.

Binding activity of norovirus and sapovirus to histo-blood group antigens.

Noroviruses (NoVs) and sapoviruses (SaVs) are causative agents of human gastroenteritis. There is increasing evidence that certain human NoV strains bind to histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs). We found that several NoV virus-like particles (VLPs) showed binding activity to HBGAs, while neither SaV genogroup I (GI) VLP nor SaV GV VLP showed such activity.
