1. Core Promoter and Pre-Core Variants of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Are Frequent in Chronic Hepatitis B HBeAg-Negative Patients Infected by Genotypes A and D

   VIRUSES-BASEL, v.15, n.12, article ID 2339, 11p, 2023

   In Brazil, hepatitis B virus endemicity is low, moderate, or high in some areas, such as Espirito Santo State in the southeast region. In this study, we intend to characterize the basal core promoter (BCP) and pre-core region (PC) variants and their association with clinical/epidemiological disea...

2. Intranasal Liposomal Formulation of Spike Protein Adjuvanted with CpG Protects and Boosts Heterologous Immunity of hACE2 Transgenic Mice to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

   VACCINES, v.11, n.11, article ID 1732, 17p, 2023

   Mucosal vaccination appears to be suitable to protect against SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this study, we tested an intranasal mucosal vaccine candidate for COVID-19 that consisted of a cationic liposome containing a trimeric SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and CpG-ODNs, a Toll-like receptor 9 agonist, as a...

3. Encephalopathy Caused by Human Parvovirus B19 Genotype 1 Associated with <i>Haemophilus influenzae</i> Meningitis in a Newborn

   CURRENT ISSUES IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, v.45, n.9, p.6958-6966, 2023

   Parvovirus B19 infection is associated with a wide range of clinical manifestations, from asymptomatic to severe neurological disorders. Its major clinical symptoms, fever and rash, are common to multiple viruses, and laboratory tests to detect B19 are frequently not available. Thus, the impact o...

4. Imiquimod chemoprophylaxis for field cancerization in xeroderma pigmentosum patients-A prospective study

   AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY, v.64, n.3, p.435-438, 2023

5. Coronary Inflammation by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation and Increased Cytokines in Young Male Anabolic Androgenic Steroid Users

   ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS DE CARDIOLOGIA, v.120, n.11, article ID e20220822, 8p, 2023

   Background: Anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) abuse has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Pericoronary fat attenuation (pFA) is a marker of coronary inflammation, which is key in the atherosclerotic process.Objective: To evaluate pFA and inflammatory profile in AAS users.Methods...

6. Complexity of malaria transmission dynamics in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

   CURRENT RESEARCH IN PARASITOLOGY & VECTOR-BORNE DISEASES, v.1, article ID 100032, 8p, 2021

   Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium vivax are protozoan parasites that can cause malaria in humans. They are genetically indistinguishable from, respectively, Plasmodium brasilianum and Plasmodium simium, i.e. parasites infecting New World non-human primates in South America. In the tropical rainf...

7. New Allele-Specific Oligonucleotide (ASO) amplifications for Toxoplasma gondii rop18 allele typing: Analysis of 86 human congenital infections in Brazil

   ACTA TROPICA, v.247, article ID 107011, 8p, 2023

   This study aimed to detect and differentiate Toxoplasma gondii by the allele typing of its polymorphic rop18 gene. For this purpose, a novel genotyping system using allele-specific oligonucleotides (ASOs) was designed, consisting of three ASO pairs. The first and third pairs specifically amplify ...

8. Arbovirus Surveillance in a Private Brazilian Hospital: A Four-Year Retrospective Study

   JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS, v.21, n.6, p.1160-1160, 2019

9. Hemocromatose hereditária

   Evangelista, Andreia Silva; Nakhle, Maria Cristina; Cançado, Eduardo Luiz Rachid. Hemocromatose hereditária. In: Pinho, João Renato Rebello; Ribeiro Junior, Ulysses (eds). Genômica e marcadores moleculares em gastroenterologia e hepatologia. SÃO PAULO: Sarvier, 2017. p.364-373.

10. Technical comparison of MinIon and Illumina technologies for genotyping Chikungunya virus in clinical samples

    JOURNAL OF GENETIC ENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY, v.21, n.1, article ID 88, 8p, 2023

    New-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have brought the opportunity for genomic monitoring of several microorganisms potentially relevant to public health. The establishment of different methods with different mechanisms provides a wide choice, taking into account several aspects. With that i...
