		In this context, Silva (1983) suggests that, as the municipality of Bananal remained outside the path of relatively recent migratory pressures, it is likely that schistosomiasis had become endemic earlier in that region than it might be surmised.
		In Bananal, positive cases and the heaviest parasite burdens are found mostly in the 7 to 14 year age-bracket.
		The situation observed in Bananal confirms the views of Conceição and Coura (1978), Katz (1980) and Barbosa and Barbosa (1998), who remark that the probability of success in the control of this endemic infection increases when the peculiarities of each epidemiological situation are taken into account.

		Main effort of the fieldwork lay on the gallery forest of the Bananal river in the National Park of Brasilia, near the country's capital.
		In the Bananal gallery forest were found 148 tree species of 52 botanical families on a sampling area of 2.67 hectares.
		The resulting basal area per hectare for trees with dbh lower than 5 cm is 28.13 square meter for the Bananal gallery forest, 23.97 square meter for the Pitera forest and 27.19 square meter for the Estivinha forest.

		We were also presented with a comprehensive guide-book to the trip (64 pp.), arranged in nine sections, discussing various aspects of Pleistocene and recent landform evolution of in SE Brazil.
		And Bananal has actually much to offer to a keen visitor, for example there is here an old railway station built of steel plates, unfortunately long disused, lovely colonial buildings dating back to the times of coffee boom, or the old farmacy.
		We spent three wonderful days in Bananal, covered a lot of ground, had fun trying to hide from the heavy rain (not at all successful) and took tens of photographs.

		Bananal, named after its prolific banana trees, spans an area almost twice the size of Belgium in Brazil's interior.
		The Karaja is the most populous tribe of the 3,000 Indians that live on Bananal, many of whom believe they were born of the rivers that isolate the island and flood two thirds of it in the rainy season.
		But Bananal's thick forests and shallow swamps are also the backdrop to a tug-of-war between eco-tourism, conservation and indigenous land rights.

		Bicolored (aquamarine-morganite) beryl from a 1986 discovery at the Bananal mine is described.
		Much of the Bananal morganite is of a pleasing orange to pink-orange color that changes to pink on extended exposure to heat or sunlight.
		The inclusions in the nodules appear to be limited to muscovite crystals, while the rest of the material (both aquamarine and morganite) contains two- and three-phase inclusions, but little or no muscovite.

	Comparison of inundation patterns among major South American floodplains
		Predictive relationships between flooded area and water levels in the nearby rivers allowed extension of the inundation record over nearly a century for the Amazon and Pantanal and several decades for the other floodplains.
		Interannual variability in the maximum extent of inundation is greatest in the Pantanal, followed by Roraima and Bananal.
		This information is fundamental for hydrological, biogeochemical, and ecological studies of these floodplain-river systems and will improve estimates of methane and other trace gas emissions to the atmosphere from these vast wetlands.
