Abstract excerpt
We have studied 506 Amerindians from three French Guiana groups: 194 Wayampi, living in Trois-Sauts, and 100 living in the Camopi area; 47 Emerillon also living in the Camopi area and 165 Wayana living on the Litani and Maroni rivers. All samples were tested for G1M (1,2,3,17), G3M (5,6,10,11,13,14,15,16,21,24,28) and KM(1) by the classical method of hemaglutination inhibition. The phenotype and haplotype...
