Mining Associated Malaria Epidemics
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2021 Nov 29:tpmd210747. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.21-0747. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTropical alluvial gold and gem miners are often an especially at-risk population for malaria infection. Geographical areas of mining-associated malaria epidemics in the recent past include Southeast Asia (Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar); the Amazon basin (Brazil, French Guyana, Suriname, Columbia, and Peru); and tropical Africa. Mobile populations of young adult men engaged in the hard labor of mining may experience severe malaria especially if they lack preexisting immunity and are irregularly consuming antimalarial drugs...

The legacy of traditional rice cultivation by descendants of Indian contract laborers in Suriname
Some 35,000 indentured laborers from India were recruited to work on plantations in Suriname between 1868 and 1916. It is likely that most were familiar with farming before they were shipped to this former Dut... (Source: Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine)

Differences in prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection and genotypes between ethnic populations in Suriname, South America
Virology. 2021 Sep 25;564:53-61. doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2021.09.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEpidemiological data on hepatitis B virus (HBV) are needed to benchmark HBV elimination goals. We recently assessed prevalence of HBV infection and determinants in participants attending the Emergency Department in Paramaribo, Suriname, South America. Overall, 24.5% (95%CI = 22.7-26.4%) of participants had anti-Hepatitis B core antibodies, which was associated with older age (per year, adjusted Odds Ratio [aOR] = 1.03, 95%CI = 1.02-1.04), Afro-Surinamese (aOR = 1.84, 95%CI = 1.52-2.19) and Javanese ethnicity (aOR = 1.63, 95%CI ...

In conclusion, MDD and MAD were associated with (upper) RTIs. Whether these indicators can be used as predictors for increased risk for RTIs should be assessed in future prospective studies. (Source: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)

Ethnic Culture as Related to Sexual and Reproductive Behavior in the Republic of Suriname: The Pervasiveness of Culture
We examined the effects of culture and ethnicity on life history strategies in terms of sexual and reproductive behaviors. The sample included 500 adults, aged 25-50 years, from the five major ethnic groups in Suriname, i.e., the Maroons, Creoles, Hindustani, Javanese, and Mixed. First, there were strong gender differences: men reported to have had more sex partners and to have had their first sexual experience earlier than women, whereas women had their first child earlier and had more children than men. Second, in general, ethnicity affected life history substantially. The Maroons stood out by a relatively fast life hist...
