We aimed to recombinantly produce and characterize the first manioc allergen and evaluate its IgE reactivity in sera of Brazilian and Italian patients. Methods and results The molecule, termed Man e5, was expressed in E. coli, characterized by amino acid analysis, mass spectrometry, circular dichroism, HPLC, and dynamic light scattering. A tertiary structural model of the protein was produced using bioinformatics and susceptibility to pepsin digestion was analyzed in vitro. Based on its high content of charged residues, heat stability, flexibility and lack of secondary structure elements, the allergen was determined a member of the intrinsically disordered protein family. Brazilian patients were selected based on manioc allergy and Italians based on latex allergy and sensitization to Hev b 5.71% of Brazilians and 40% of Italians were in vitro IgE positive to Man e5. Cross-inhibition assays suggest a possible involvement of this allergen in the latex-fruit syndrome. Conclusion Man e5, the first purified allergen from manioc demonstrates IgE cross-reactivity with Hev b 5. Data suggest Hev b 5 might act as primary sensitizer and could therefore lead to allergic manifestations upon manioc consumption without prior exposition.

However, the persistent transmission of SARS-CoV-2, an RNA virus, resulted in the appearance of mutations in the original virus. The appearance of more virulent mutations in different regions of the world resulted in an increased number of severe COVID-19 cases. A mathematical model based on the COVID-19 natural history encompassing the mutations was applied to evaluate the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. The model parameters were fitted against the observed data from Sao Paulo State (Brazil) considering quarantine, relaxation, and mutation. The estimated data from Sao Paulo State showed that the original SARS-CoV-2 transmission better explained the COVID-19 epidemic during the quarantine. However, the increased number of fatalities beyond that predicted by the relaxation indicated the occurrence of mutations. Hence, the relaxation in association with the transmission of a more virulent SARS-CoV-2 better estimated the COVID-19 epidemic from February 26, 2020, to June 15, 2021, in Sao Paulo State.
- Mathematical modeling of the transmission of SARS-CoV-2-Evaluating the impact of isolation in SAo Paulo State (Brazil) and lockdown in Spain associated with protective measures on the epidemic of CoViD-19(2021) YANG, Hyun Mo; LOMBARDI JUNIOR, Luis Pedro; CASTRO, Fabio Fernandes Morato; YANG, Ariana CamposCoronavirus disease 2019 (CoViD-19), with the fatality rate in elder (60 years old or more) being much higher than young (60 years old or less) patients, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. A mathematical model considering young and elder subpopulations under different fatality rates was formulated based on the natural history of CoViD-19 to study the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The model considered susceptible, exposed, asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic, mild CoViD-19, severe CoViD-19, and recovered compartments, besides compartments of isolated individuals and those who were caught by test. This model was applied to study the epidemiological scenario resulting from the adoption of quarantine (isolation or lockdown) in many countries to control the rapid propagation of CoViD-19. We chose as examples the isolation adopted in SAo Paulo State (Brazil) in the early phase but not at the beginning of the epidemic, and the lockdown implemented in Spain when the number of severe CoViD-19 cases was increasing rapidly. Based on the data collected from SAo Paulo State and Spain, the model parameters were evaluated, and we obtained a higher estimation for the basic reproduction number R-0 (9.24 for SAo Paulo State, and 8 for Spain) compared to the currently accepted estimation of R-0 around 2 using the SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious, and recovered compartments) model. In comparison with the lockdown in Spain, the relatively early adoption of the isolation in SAo Paulo State resulted in enlarging the period of the first wave of the epidemic and delaying its peak. The model allowed to explain the flattening of the epidemic curves by quarantine when associated with the protective measures (face mask, washing hands with alcohol and gel, and social distancing) adopted by the population. The description of the epidemic under quarantine and protections can be a background to foreseen the epidemiological scenarios from the release strategies, which can help guide public health policies by decision-makers.
