: The study protocol was approved by the Brazilian National Research Ethics Commission (CONEP, Protocol #16907), which regulates studies involving indigenous Brazilian populations and was locally supervised by their representatives. Participants of the study were required to meet the following criteria: (i) above 10 years, (ii) sign the informed consent, and (iii) consent to blood collection. The recruitment of volunteers in the Marari community involved a bilingual interpreter who explained to the leaders and/or indigenous representatives the purpose of the study, the procedures to be conducted, and finally requested informed consent from each participant or the guardians on behalf of minors prior to their inclusion in the study.
