Sequencing of E2 and NS5A regions of HCV genotype 3a in Brazilian patients with chronic hepatitis

  • Autores: Azevedo RS, Carrilho FJ, Gonçalves L, Malta Fde M, Medeiros-Filho JE, Pinho JR, Silva LC
  • Ano de Publicação: 2010

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of liver disease throughout the world. The NS5A and E2 proteins of HCV genotype 1 were reported to inhibit the double-stranded (ds) RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR), which is involved in the cellular antiviral response induced by interferon (IFN). The response to IFN therapy is quite different between […]

A review of antimalarial plants used in traditional medicine in communities in Portuguese-speaking countries: Brazil, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe and Angola.

The isolation of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants, based on traditional use or ethnomedical data, is a highly promising potential approach for identifying new and effective antimalarial drug candidates.

Leishmania infection and host-blood feeding preferences of phlebotomine sandflies and canine leishmaniasis in an endemic European area, the Algarve Region in Portugal

  • Autores: Afonso MO, Campino L, Cristovao JM, Dionísio L, Maia C, Neto L
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23827997

The Algarve Region (AR) in southern Portugal, which is an international tourist destination, has been considered an endemic region of zoonotic leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania infantum since the 1980s. In the present study, phlebotomine and canine surveys were conducted to identify sandfly blood meal sources and to update the occurrence of Leishmania infection in vectors and dogs.

Aedes aegypti on Madeira Island (Portugal): genetic variation of a recently introduced dengue vector. Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz

  • Autores: Campos M, Novo MT, Pinto J, Reyes-Lugo M, Ribolla PEM, Salgueiro P, Seixas G, Silva AC, Sousa CA, Spenassatto C
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz

The increasing population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes on Madeira Island (Portugal) resulted in the first autochthonous dengue outbreak, which occurred in October 2012. Our study establishes the first genetic evaluation based on the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes [cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4)] and knockdown resistance ( kdr ) mutations exploring the colonisation history and the genetic diversity of this insular vector population.

The first detection of Leishmania major in naturally infected Sergentomyia minuta in Portugal

  • Autores: Afonso MO, Campino L, Cortes S, Dionísio L, Maia C, Neto L
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23828004

Phlebotomine sandflies of the genus Sergentomyia are widely distributed throughout the Old World. It has been suggested that Sergentomyia spp are involved in the transmission of Leishmania in India and Africa, whereas Phlebotomus spp are thought to be the sole vectors of Leishmania in the Old World. In this study, Leishmania major DNA was detected in one Sergentomyia minuta specimen that was collected in the southern region of Portugal. This study challenges the dogma that Leishmania is exclusively transmitted by species of the genus Phlebotomus in the Old World.

Anopheles gambiae eicosanoids modulate Plasmodium berghei survival from oocyst to salivary gland invasion

  • Autores: Custodio A, Ramos S, Silveira H
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
  • Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4156460/

Eicosanoids affect the immunity of several pathogen/insect models, but their role on the Anopheles gambiae response to Plasmodium is still unknown. Plasmodium berghei-infected mosquitoes were injected with an eicosanoid biosynthesis inhibitor, indomethacin (IN), or a substrate, arachidonic acid (AA), at day 7 or day 12 post-infection (p.i.).
