We detected neutralizing antibodies, viral RNA, and sialic acid receptors for Alphainfluenzavirus influenzae in urban coatis (Nasua nasua) Brazil, suggesting exposure susceptibility. used hemagglutination inhibition, reverse transcription quantitative PCR, histochemistry detection. Increased epidemiologic wildlife surveillance would improve influenza A emergency event response.
Antiretrovirals (ARVs) have become one of the most prescribed groups drugs, and these residues are found in environment. Among them, widely used HIV treatment tenofovir (TDF), lamivudine (3TC), dolutegravir (DTG). This study aimed to evaluate toxicity ARVs TDF, 3TC, DTG on cyanobacterium Microcystis novacekii estimate their environmental risk. showed highest among drugs tested, inhibiting cyanobacteria cell growth metabolic activity at low concentrations. TDF 3TC alone were less toxic, with...
A cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomised sample of 405 children aged 6–71 months in Brazil to investigate the association between nutritional status, environmental and socio-economic factors Giardialamblia infection. Data collection entailed an interview, anthropometric measurements faeces venous blood samples. The analysis performed using multivariate logistic regression. prevalence rate for G. lamblia 26.3%. Nutritional status evaluation showed that 7.9% had chronic...
Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional disorders worldwide. The aim was to identify prevalence and incidence in children predictors this condition, including intestinal parasites, social, environmental factors, comorbidities. A population-based cohort study conducted a sample 414 aged 6–71 months living Novo Cruzeiro Minas Gerais State. Data were collected 2008 2009 by interview included socio-economic demographic information about their families. Blood samples for...
The genetic differences between praziquantel-resistant (R) and susceptible (S) strains of Schistosoma mansoni (Fallon & Doenhoff, 1994) were explored using RAPD by cloning differentially expressed mRNAs subtractive PCR. No the 2 detectable 41 different primers indicating that no major genomic rearrangements present. Subtractive PCR generated a number fragments, 1 which was shown to correspond an over-expressed mRNA in R strain encode fragment subunit cytochrome- c oxidase (SCOX1). In...
Fasciola hepatica is a parasite that affects the hepatic ducts of several species domestic and wild vertebrates, causing huge economic losses to livestock rearing worldwide. Reports on occurrences F. in capybaras are an important epidemiological aspect this disease, since these rodents can be source contamination for other animals humans. In present study, conducted rural area municipality Confins, Minas Gerais, fresh feces from were collected ground near lagoon at edge Ribeirão da Mata...
Background. Fascioliasis is an important parasitic disease. In the northern region of Brazil, a human parasite infection has been reported through coprological survey. Eggs Fasciola hepatica were found in fecal samples 11 individuals. Knowledge animals or presence snails necessary to address possibility cycle occurrence that region. The aim this study was describe transmission fascioliasis Canutama, Amazonas, Western Amazonia, Brazil. Methods. Serological (ELISA and Blot, WB) parasitological...
Angiostrongylus vasorum has different freshwater aquatic and terrestrial gastropod molluscs as an intermediate host, e.g. Arion spp. The mollusc Achatina fulica is a danger to public health, given the large diversity of nematodes utilizing it such parasites genus Angiostrongylus, importance in human veterinary medicine. been shown have excellent capacity for maintaining outbreaks natural infections with A. cantonensis Asia. Within mollusc, nematode activate haemocytes and/or haemolymph...
Currently, there are 21 species of Angiostrongylus that parasitize the pulmonary or mesenteric arteries wild and domestic rodents, felids, canids human. Species have cosmopolitan distribution covering tropical, subtropical temperate regions. The procyonid Nasua nasua (coati) is a reservoir host for wide variety parasites may be harmful to its populations contain etiological agents with zoonotic potential. In urban areas, coatis usually found in close association humans animals. We...
Sida pilosa Retz. (Malvaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Africa for the treatment of dysmenorrhea, lower abdominal pains and intestinal helminthiasis. S. aqueous extract derived fractions were investigated their bioactivity against Schistosoma mansoni. The from aerial parts (1.25 - 40 mg/mL) (n-hexane, DCM, EtOAc n-BuOH: 0.25 8 tested on adult mansoni maintained GMEN culture medium. Praziquantel was as reference drug. After 24 h incubation, worms monitored viability egg output. antioxidant...
Objective: To estimate the consumption and quantity of unaltered antiretrivirals (ARV) eliminated into environment to carry out a literature research on aquatic ecotoxicological studies ARV used in Brazil. Methodology: We requested from one dispensing units city Belo-Horizonte (BH) amount dispensed years 2018-2019-2020. Considering 2020, daily dose, elimination rate, drug unchanged form was estimated. For entire municipality BH Brazil, we epidemiological data were regarding individuals using...
The lymnaeids are important in the epidemiology of Fasciola hepatica, a neglected and endemic zoonosis. interaction between internal defense system Pseudosuccinea columella F. hepatica has been little studied. In present study effect infection by on P. circulating haemocytes was investigated. Changes average number total have observed at 30 minutes post-infection 1, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28 50 days (dpi). Miracidia were head-foot mantle post-infection. Miracidia/Sporocysts skirt 1 dpi, fully formed...
Moluscos são hospedeiros intermediários de Angiotrongylus vasorum, parasito com potencial zoonótico que tem os canídeos como hospedeiro definitivo. Neste trabalho, foram seccionados tecidos 180 espécimes Achatina fulica infectados 1.000 L1 A. quais submetidos às seguintes técnicas: hidróxido potássio 1% (grupo I), ácido clorídrico 3% II), e pepsina III) em banho-maria a 37 °C Baermann 42 IV). No primeiro, oitavo trigésimo dias após infecção (dpi), obtidos L1, L2 L3, 240 L3 recuperadas do...
