1. Simian malaria: a narrative review on emergence, epidemiology andthreatto global malaria elimination

   LANCET INFECTIOUS DISEASES, v.23, n.12, p.E520-E532, 2023

   Simian malaria from wild non-human primate populations is increasingly recognised as a public health threat and is now the main cause of human malaria in Malaysia and some regions of Brazil. In 2022, WHO changed malaria elimination certification guidelines to require non-negligible risks of simia...

2. HIV-1 Remission: Accelerating the Path to Permanent HIV-1 Silencing

   VIRUSES-BASEL, v.15, n.11, article ID 2171, 11p, 2023

   Despite remarkable progress, a cure for HIV-1 infection remains elusive. Rebound competent latent and transcriptionally active reservoir cells persevere despite antiretroviral therapy and rekindle infection due to inefficient proviral silencing. We propose a novel ""block-lock-stop"" approach, en...

3. Zoonotic Malaria Risk in Serra Do Mar, Atlantic Forest, Brazil

   MICROORGANISMS, v.11, n.10, article ID 2465, 12p, 2023

   Here, the main goal is to assess natural infections of Plasmodium spp. in anophelines in a forest reserve from the same region where we previously found a surprisingly high rate (5.2%) of plasmodia infections (n = 25) in Kerteszia mosquitoes (N = 480) on the slopes of Serra do Mar, Atlantic Fores...

4. Global burden of chronic respiratory diseases and risk factors, 1990-2019: an update from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

   ECLINICALMEDICINE, v.59, article ID 101936, 22p, 2023

   Background Updated data on chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are vital in their prevention, control, and treatment in the path to achieving the third UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a one-third reduction in premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by 2030. We provided global,...

5. Prevalence and genetic diversity of avian haemosporidian parasites in islands within a mega hydroelectric dam in the Brazilian Amazon

   PARASITOLOGY RESEARCH, v.122, n.9, p.2065-2077, 2023

   The Brazilian Amazon supports an extremely diverse avifauna and serves as the diversification center for avian malaria parasites in South America. Construction of hydroelectric dams can drive biodiversity loss by creating islands incapable of sustaining the bird communities found in intact forest...

6. Deciphering the Functional Status of Breast Cancers through the Analysis of Their Extracellular Vesicles

   INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES, v.24, n.16, article ID 13022, 33p, 2023

   Breast cancer (BC) accounts for the highest incidence of tumor-related mortality among women worldwide, justifying the growing search for molecular tools for the early diagnosis and follow-up of BC patients under treatment. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous nanocompartments ...

7. Life Cycle Assessment Applied to End-of-Life Scenarios of Sargassum spp. for Application in Civil Construction

   SUSTAINABILITY, v.15, n.7, article ID 6254, 23p, 2023

   Environmental risks and vulnerabilities in coastal regions include the massive deposits of brown algae of the genus Sargassum in regions such as the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and northern Brazil. Efforts have been made to turn this problem into an opportunity by seeking new uses for this biomass...

8. Can domestic dogs be considered a good reservoir of Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi in an endemic area of nonulcerated cutaneous leishmaniasis in Southern Honduras?

   REVISTA DO INSTITUTO DE MEDICINA TROPICAL DE SAO PAULO, v.65, article ID e24, 8p, 2023

   Dogs are considered to be the main domestic reservoir associated with the transmission of Leishmania (L.) infantum chagasi to humans in endemic areas of visceral leishmaniasis in America. However, little is known about the role of canines as a source of infection in endemic areas of nonulcerated ...

9. Comparative Genomic Analyses of New and Old World Viscerotropic Leishmanine Parasites: Further Insights into the Origins of Visceral Leishmaniasis Agents

   MICROORGANISMS, v.11, n.1, article ID 25, 14p, 2023

   Visceral leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar, is an anthropozoonotic disease affecting human populations on five continents. Aetiologic agents belong to the Leishmania (L.) donovani complex. Until the 1990s, three leishmanine parasites comprised this complex: L. (L.) donovani Laveran & Me...

10. Parasitological, serological diagnosis of caninevisceral leishmaniasis, association of neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrate and transmission potential: A review

    Costa, F. A. L.; Carvalho, A. A.; Lindoso, J. A. L.; Goto, H.. Parasitological, serological diagnosis of caninevisceral leishmaniasis, association of neutrophilic inflammatory infiltrate and transmission potential: A review. In: . LEISHMANIASIS: SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT AND POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS: NOVA SCIENCE PUBLISHERS, INC., 2013. p.89-102.

    Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is important in the transmission cycle of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum as it constitutes the main reservoir of the parasite in the peridomestic cycle. We revise the laboratory diagnosis of CVL since control program in some parts of the world including Brazi...
