Histopathological lesions of congenital Zika syndrome in newborn squirrel monkeys
(Nature Research, 2021)The absence of an adequate animal model for studies has limited the understanding of congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) in humans during the outbreak in America. In this study, we used squirrel monkeys (Saimiri collinsi), a ... -
Clinical, epidemiological and climatic factors related to the occurrence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in an endemic area in northeastern Brazil
(Instituto Internacional de Ecologia, 2021)Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease with a wide distribution in the Americas. Brazil is an endemic country and present cases in all states. This study aimed to describe the occurrence, the underlying ... -
Prenatal disorders and congenital Zika syndrome in squirrel monkeys
(Nature Research, 2021)During the Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreak in Brazil (2015–2016), the clinical manifestations associated with its infection were complex and included miscarriage and congenital malformations, not previously described. In this ... -
Incidence of viral hepatitis in brazil from 2009 to 2018: an epidemiological study of confirmed cases of viral hepatitis
(Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2021)INTRODUCTION: Viral hepatitis is a major public health problem. It is necessary to understand the epidemic, verifying the combination of biological and demographic characteristics. METHODS: This is an analytical ecological ... -
The TGFB1-509C/T polymorphism and elevated TGF-beta 1 levels are associated with chronic hepatitis C and cirrhosis
(Elsevier, 2020)The IFN-γ and TGF-β1 cytokines perform antagonistic activities in the immune response, and polymorphisms in these genes may induce changes in their plasma levels and influence the course of chronic Hepacivirus C (HCV) ... -
Near-complete genome of cosavirus A from a child hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis, Brazil
(Elsevier, 2020)Acute gastroenteritis (AG) is responsible for 525,000 deaths worldwide in children under-5-years and is caused by the Human Cosavirus (HCoSV; family Picornaviridae, Genus Cosavirus). Although its health importance, a ... -
Chikungunya virus detection in Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus during an outbreak in the Amazon Region
(MDPI, 2020)Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) was first reported in Brazil in 2014 and, after it spread countrywide, an outbreak of febrile illness with reports of arthralgia happened in the municipality of Xinguara, Pará, Brazil in 2017, ... -
Sequential serological surveys in the early stages of the coronavirus disease epidemic: limitations and perspectives
(Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2020)Introduction: Estimates of the number of individuals infected by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 are important for health planning and establishment of expectations regarding herd immunity. Methods: Seven ... -
Genotypes of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV1/EBV2) in individuals with infectious mononucleosis in the metropolitan area of Belém, Brazil, between 2005 and 2016
(Brazilian Society of Infectious Diseases, 2020)Two types of Epstein Barr virus (EBV1/EBV2) have been shown to infect humans. Although their genomes are similar, the regions containing the EBNA genes differ. This study aimed to characterize the EBV genotypes of infectious ... -
Zika structural genes determine the virulence of African and Asian lineages
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)The Asian lineage of Zika virus (ZIKV) is responsible for the recent epidemics in the Americas and severe disease, whereas the African lineage of ZIKV has not been reported to cause epidemics or severe disease. We constructed ... -
Characterization of rotavirus possessing a DS-1-like VP3 gene from pigs in Brazil: evidence for zooanthroponotic transmission
(Elsevier, 2020)Porcine group A rotavirus (RVA) strains SUI15A and SUI24A are suggested to have VP3 genes of human origin possessing DS-1-like backbone. The aim of the present study was to analyse the genome of two strains (SUI15A and ... -
Nearly complete genome sequences of enterovirus 96 and enterovirus 99 strains isolated in the northern region of Brazil
(American Society for Microbiology, 2019)In this study, we report the nearly complete genome sequences of one enterovirus 96 (EV-C96) isolate (strain 3499/BRA-PA/2010) and two enterovirus 99 (EV-C99) isolates (strains 3291/BRA-PA/2010 and 3944/BRA-PA/2011). The ... -
Genome sequence of chiqui virus, a novel reovirus isolated from mosquitoes collected in Colombia
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018)We report here the complete genome sequence of a novel reovirus, designated Chiqui virus (CHQV) strain CoB38d, that was isolated from a pool of unidentified mosquitoes collected in northern Colombia in 2013. CHQV has ... -
