Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), remains a serious public health problem for which there is no effective treatment in chronic stage. Intense cardiac fibrosis and inflammation are hallmarks of disease cardiomyopathy (CCC). Previously, we identified upregulation circulating miR-21, pro-fibrotic microRNA (miRNA), subjects with CCC. Here, explored potential role miR-21 as therapeutic target model disease. PCR array-based 88 screening was performed heart...

Leishmania braziliensis is the etiological agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis, a disease with high public health importance, affecting 12 million people worldwide. Although its genome sequence was originally published in 2007, two reference annotations still presents at least 80% genes simply classified as hypothetical or putative proteins. Furthermore, it notable absence non-coding RNA (ncRNA) sequences from species databases. These poorly annotated coding and ncRNAs could be important...

Visceral leishmaniasis is an opportunistic disease in HIV-1 infected individuals, unrecognized as a determining factor for AIDS diagnosis. The growing geographical overlap of and Leishmania infections emerging challenge worldwide, co-infection increases morbidity mortality both infections. Here, we determined the prevalence people living with HIV (PWH) previous or ongoing infection by infantum investigated virological immunological factors associated co-infection. We adopted two-stage...

Structural changes in the spleen have been reported several infectious diseases. In visceral leishmaniasis (VL), a severe parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp., loss of white pulp accompanies clinical presentation. Hamster model reproduces aspects human VL progression. early stages, transcriptomic signature leukocyte recruitment was associated with hyperplasia. Subsequently, impaired chemotaxis T lymphocytes periarteriolar lymphoid sheath occurred. This differential gene expression...
