Genomic and phylogenetic characterization of brazilian yellow fever virus strains
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)Globally, yellow fever virus infects nearly 200,000 people, leading to 30,000 deaths annually. Although the virus is endemic to Latin America, only a single genome from this region has been sequenced. Here, we report 12 ... -
Complete genome sequence of a sucrose-nonfermenting epidemic strain of Vibrio cholerae O1 from Brazil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012)We report the genome sequence of Vibrio cholerae strain IEC224, which fails to ferment sucrose. It was isolated from a cholera outbreak in the Amazon. The defective sucrose phenotype was determined to be due to a frameshift ... -

Air travel is associated with intracontinental spread of dengue virus serotypes 1-3 in Brazil
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Dengue virus and its four serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4) infect 390 million people and are implicated in at least 25,000 deaths annually, with the largest disease burden in tropical and subtropical regions. We investigated ... -
New genome sequences of Gamboa Viruses (Family Bunyaviridae, Genus Orthobunyavirus) isolated in Panama and Argentina
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)We describe here the nearly complete open reading frame (ORF) of five Gamboa virus strains isolated in Panama and Argentina. The viruses with complete ORF showed the regular genome organization observed in other orthobunyaviruses ... -
Complete nucleotide sequences of two blaKPC-2-Bearing IncN plasmids isolated from sequence Type 442 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strains four years apart.
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014)We sequenced the oldest blaKPC-2-bearing plasmid isolated in Brazil and another plasmid also carried by a Klebsiella pneumoniae strain of sequence type 442 (ST442), isolated 52 months later. Both plasmids present an IncN ... -
Analysis of a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) for yellow fever diagnostic
(Elsevier, 2015)Yellow Fever virus (YFV) is an important human pathogen in tropical areas of Africa and South America. Although an efficient vaccine is available and has been used since the early 1940s, sylvatic YFV transmission still ... -
Emergence of new insect-restrictive viruses in the Amazon Region
(American Society for Microbiology, 2015)The complete genome was determined for 12 viruses isolated from 8 different pools of mosquitoes (Culex sp. and Psorophora ferox) collected at Brejeira farm, Canaan dos Carajas, Para state in northern Brazil. Eight of the ... -
Establishment of a minigenome system for Oropouche virus reveals the S genome segment to be significantly longer than reported previously
(Microbiology Society, 2015)Oropouche virus (OROV) is a medically important orthobunyavirus, which causes frequent outbreaks of a febrile illness in the northern parts of Brazil. However, despite being the cause of an estimated half a million human ... -
First isolation of Bunyamwera virus (Bunyaviridae family) from horses with neurological disease and an abortion in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015)Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototype virus for both the Orthobunyavirus genus and the Bunyaviridae family. Different strains of BUNV have been associated with clinical diseases in domestic animals, mainly ruminants. ... -
Molecular characterization of Babesia vogeli in dogs from Belém, northern Brazil
(Funpec-Rp, 2015)Babesiosis is an infectious hemolytic disease that occurs worldwide, and is caused by a protozoan of the Babesia genus (Apicomplexa). Little is known about this genus; therefore, this study conducted a molecular characterization ... -
Testicular biometry and semen characteristics in captive and wild squirrel monkey species (Saimiri sp.)
(Elsevier, 2016)Differential phenotypic characteristics for taxonomic diagnosis purposes are well determined in the genus Saimiri (squirrel monkey). However, data on its reproductive characteristics are lacking. Our aim was to determine ... -
Molecular analysis reveals the diversity of Hepatozoon species naturally infecting domestic dogs in a northern region of Brazil
(Elsevier, 2016)This study aimed to optimize molecular methods for detecting DNA of Hepatozoon spp. as well as identify the phylogenetic relationships of Hepatozoon strains naturally infecting domestic dogs in Belém, Pará, northern Brazil. ... -
Complete genome sequence of Piry vesiculovirus
(Springer Verlag, 2016)Piry virus (PIRYV) is a rhabdovirus (genus Vesiculovirus) and is described as a possible human pathogen, originally isolated from a Philander opossum trapped in Para State, Northern Brazil. This study describes the complete ... -
Molecular characterization of Capim and Enseada orthobunyaviruses
(Elsevier, 2016)Capim and Enseada viruses are members of the genus Orthobunyavirus isolated from mosquitoes and mammals in Brazil. Despite seroprevalence studies indicating human infections in Latin America, these viruses remain relatively ... -
