Anopheles atroparvus density modeling using MODIS NDVI in a former malarious area in Portugal.

  • Autores: Almeida AP, Lopes P, Lourenço PM, Novo MT, Seixas J, Sousa CA
  • Ano de Publicação: 2011
  • Journal: Journal of Vector Ecology

Malaria is dependent on environmental factors and considered as potentially re-emerging in temperate regions. Remote sensing data have been used successfully for monitoring environmental conditions that influence the patterns of such arthropod vector-borne diseases.

Chagas disease in European countries: the challenge of a surveillance system

A study of aggregate data collected from the literature and official sources was undertaken to estimate expected and observed prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection, annual incidence of congenital transmission and rate of underdiagnosis of Chagas disease among Latin American migrants in the nine European countries with the highest prevalence of Chagas disease.

Chemotherapy for second-stage Human African trypanosomiasis

  • Autores: Kennedy A, Lutje V, Seixas J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2010
  • Journal: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20687080

BACKGROUND: Human African trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, is a painful and protracted disease affecting people in the poorest parts of Africa and is fatal without treatment. Few drugs are currently available for second-stage sleeping sickness, with considerable adverse events and variable efficacy. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of drugs for treating second-stage human […]

The future of novel diagnostics in medical mycology.

  • Autores: Seixas J, Teles F
  • Ano de Publicação: 2015
  • Journal: Journal of Medical Microbiology
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25418735

Several fungal diseases have become serious threats to human health and life, especially upon the advent of human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS epidemics and of other typical immunosuppressive conditions of modern life. Accordingly, the burden posed by these diseases and, concurrently, by intensive therapeutic regimens against these diseases has increased worldwide.

Angola’s 2013 dengue outbreak: clinical, laboratory and molecular analyses of cases from four Portuguese institutions

  • Autores: Abreu C, Antunes A, Atouguia J, Azevedo T, Centeno-Lima S, Conceicao C, da Cunha JS, Mansinho K, Marques N, Moneti V, Nazareth T, Nina J, Parreira R, Sa L, Sarmento A, Seixas J, Teodósio R

  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25212088

Dengue virus (DENV) is the arbovirus with the widest impact on human health. In Africa in general, and in Angola in particular, the epidemiology and public health impact of DENV is far from clear. However, rapid population growth, unplanned urbanization, increased international travel, and the presence of virus major vector (Aedes aegypti) in the country suggest that DENV transmission may occur.

Satellite-derived estimation of environmental suitability for malaria vector development in Portugal

  • Autores: Almeida APG, Benali A, Freitas FB, Lima JC, Lourenço PM, Novo MT, Nunes JP, Seixas J, Sousa CA
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Remote Sensing of Environment
  • Link: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0034425714000273

This work focused on determining the current relationships between environmental factors and the density of the former malaria vector Anopheles atroparvus in Portugal, a previously endemic country. Adult females were sampled and vector density was estimated in 22 sites in Southern Portugal between 2001 and 2010 and related with land cover and satellite-derived air temperature and vegetation indices. The relationship between vector density and local larval habitat, temperature and, in a broader sense, to environmental suitability, was assessed using a statistical modelling approach.
