2. 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...

3. Characterization of Torquetenovirus in amniotic fluid at the time of <i>in utero</i> fetal surgery: correlation with early premature delivery and respiratory distress

   FRONTIERS IN MEDICINE, v.10, article ID 1161091, 8p, 2023

   Torquetenovirus (TTV) is a commensal virus present in many healthy individuals. Although considered to be non-pathogenic, its presence and titer have been shown to be indicative of altered immune status in individuals with chronic infections or following allogeneic transplantations. We evaluated ...

4. Association between development of severe COVID-19 and a polymorphism in the <i>CIAS1</i> gene that codes for an inflammasome component

   SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, v.13, n.1, article ID 11252, 5p, 2023

   An elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine response is associated with severe life-threatening symptoms in individuals with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID). The inflammasome is an intracellular structure responsible for generation of interleukin (IL)-1 & beta; and IL-18. NALP3, a product of the CIAS1...

5. IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING IN SAOPAULO STATE, BRAZIL

   ACTA CYTOLOGICA, v.67, n.4, p.388-394, 2023

   INTRODUCTION: The early identification of precursor lesions followed by appropriate treatment prevents development of cervical cancer and its consequences OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluated the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on cervical cancer screening by comparing the quantity of tests ...

6. Detailed characterization of Redondovirus in saliva of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals in Sao Paulo, Brazil

   PLOS ONE, v.18, n.8, article ID e0291027, 10p, 2023

   BackgroundRedondovirus (ReDoV) is a DNA virus present in the respiratory tract of many healthy individuals. Since SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, also primarily infects the same site, we evaluated whether ReDoV was present at increased frequency in patients with COVID-19 and influ...

7. Quantification of Torque Teno Virus (TTV) in plasma and saliva of individuals with liver cirrhosis: a cross sectional study

   FRONTIERS IN MEDICINE, v.10, article ID 1184353, 7p, 2023

   Introduction: Torque teno virus ( TTV) has been pointed as an endogenous marker of immune function, the objective of this study was to investigate the TTV viral load in plasma and saliva of cirrhotic individuals and correlate it with clinical characteristics. Methods: Blood, saliva, clinical data...

8. Full genotype characterization of Brazilian canine G3P[3] strains during a 10-year survey (2012-2021) of rotavirus infection in domestic dogs and cats

   ARCHIVES OF VIROLOGY, v.168, n.7, article ID 176, 15p, 2023

   There is a dearth of information on the molecular epidemiology of rotaviruses in pets in Brazil. The aim of this study was to monitor rotavirus infections in household dogs and cats, determine full-genotype constellations, and obtain data on evolutionary relationships. Between 2012 and 2021, 600 ...

9. SARS-CoV-2 Detection and Culture in Different Biological Specimens from Immunocompetent and Immunosuppressed COVID-19 Patients Infected with Two Different Viral Strains

   VIRUSES-BASEL, v.15, n.6, article ID 1270, 12p, 2023

   Introduction-The dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 shedding and replication in humans remain incompletely understood. Methods-We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 shedding from multiple sites in individuals with an acute COVID-19 infection by weekly sampling for five weeks in 98 immunocompetent and 25 immunosuppressed in...
