Solute carriers affect Anopheles stephensi survival and Plasmodium berghei infection in the salivary glands

Malaria is caused by mosquito-borne Plasmodium spp. parasites that must infect and survive within mosquito salivary glands (SGs) prior to host transmission. Recent advances in transcriptomics and the complete genome sequencing of mosquito vectors have increased our knowledge of the SG genes and proteins involved in pathogen infection and transmission.

Impacts of introgressive hybridisation may range from genomic erosion and species collapse to rapid adaptation and speciation but opportunities to study these dynamics are rare. We investigated the extent, causes and consequences of a hybrid zone between Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae in Guinea-Bissau, where high hybridisation rates appear to be stable at least since the 1990s.Anopheles gambiae was genetically partitioned into inland and coastal subpopulations, separated by a central region dominated by A. coluzzii.

Genetic diversity, transmission dynamics and drug resistance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Angola

  • Autores: Carla Silva, Diana Machado, Isabel Couto, Isabel Portugal, Joao Perdigao, Jorge Ramos, Miguel Viveiros, Nuno Taveira, Pedro Masakidi, Sofia Clemente
  • Ano de Publicação: 2017
  • Journal: Scientific Reports

Tuberculosis (TB) poses a serious public health problem in Angola. No surveillance data on drug resistance is available and nothing is known regarding the genetic diversity and population structure of circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Here, we have genotyped and evaluated drug susceptibility of 89 Mycobacterium tuberculosis clinical isolates from Luanda.

Serological diagnosis of pneumocystosis: production of a synthetic recombinant antigen for immunodetection of ‘Pneumocystis jirovecii’

  • Autores: A. L. Tomás, F. Cardoso, F. Esteves, O. Matos
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: Scientific Reports
  • Link: http://www.nature.com/articles/srep36287

This study aims to combine the production of a multi-epitope synthetic recombinant antigen (RSA) and an ELISA test for detection of anti-P. jirovecii antibodies, in order to develop a new approach for PcP diagnosis.
