Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a polymorphic and spectral skin disease caused by Leishmania spp. protozoan parasites. CL difficult to diagnose because conventional methods are time-consuming, expensive, low-sensitive. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with machine learning (ML) algorithms has been explored as an alternative achieve fast accurate results for many diagnoses. Besides the high accuracy demonstrated in numerous studies, variations between infected noninfected groups...
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection during pregnancy can lead to congenital syndrome (CZS) and may result in neurodevelopmental alterations exposed children, with without CZS. This study aimed evaluate ZIKV as a risk factor for early long-term adverse outcomes. retrospective-prospective, matched cohort was conducted Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Mother-infant pairs unexposed were enrolled the from 2018 2022. Clinical epidemiological data gestational period neonatal evaluations obtained Brazilian...
Leishmaniases are a group of neglected vector-borne infectious diseases that among the six priority endemic worldwide. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is most severe clinical manifestation, characterized by systemic and chronic visceral involvement high mortality in immunosuppressed untreated patients. VL can be complicated into post-kala-azar dermal (PKDL), when dermatologic disorders occur simultaneously with active VL, an intermediate form called para-kala-azar (para-KDL) occurs. This great...
Lutzomyia longipalpis and cruzi are the main sandflies species involved in transmission of Leishmania infantum protozoan Brazil. The morphological characteristics can be used for identification males specimens, while females indistinguishable. Although, is essential to understand vectorial capacity, susceptibility infectious agents or insecticides, there a lack new strategies specimen identification. In this study, Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy combined with...
Leishmania infantum chagasi is an intracellular protozoan parasite responsible for visceral leishmaniasis, a fatal disease in humans. Heparin-binding proteins (HBPs) are that bind to carbohydrates present glycoproteins or glycolipids. Evidence suggests HBPs on surface participate the adhesion and invasion of parasites tissues both invertebrate vertebrate hosts. In this study, we identified product with HSP90 (heat shock protein 90) domain encoded by lipophosphoglycan ( LPG3) gene as L HBP...
Bovine cysticercosis is a zoonotic disease globally distributed that causes serious problems of public health and economic consequences.This parasitic caused by species Taenia saginata, the cattle as intermediate hosts, causing bovine cysticercosis, human definitive host, taeniasis.The main symptoms taeniasis are: malnutrition, intestinal obstruction, abdominal pain, anal itching, among others.In this sense, study aimed determine prevalence in animals from southern southeastern Goiás...
Objetivo: Avaliar os perfis clínicos e epidemiológicos dos pacientes diagnosticados com leishmaniose visceral provenientes do Hospital Universitário Maria Aparecida Pedrossian (HUMAP/UFMS). Material métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo analítico transversal. Foram analisados aspectos clínico-epidemiológicos a partir dados obtidos em prontuário médico LV no período 2021 fevereiro 2023. Resultados: Este evidenciou maior incidência sexo masculino, idade entre 40-59 anos, cor parda, baixa...
