Brazilian spotted fever, a zoonotic disease transmitted by ticks, is caused Rickettsia rickettsii. We report fulminant case of this zoonosis in healthy 46-year-old military man the urban region Rio de Janeiro city, October, 2021. Ticks and capybaras (Amblyomma sculptum, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, respectively) were identified fields, pointing to participation large synanthropic rodent, recognized as an efficient amplifier host rickettsii Brazil. As population considered risk group for it...
Coxiella burnetii is a global, highly infectious intracellular bacterium, able to infect wide range of hosts and persist for months in the environment. It etiological agent Q fever-a zoonosis global priority. Currently, there are no national surveillance data on C. burnetii's seroprevalence any South American country, reinforcing necessity developing novel inexpensive serological tools monitor prevalence infections among humans animals-especially cattle, goats, sheep. In this study, we used...
Abstract Background Blood culture-negative infective endocarditis is a potentially severe disease that can be associated with infectious agents such as Bartonella spp., Coxiella burnetti , Tropheryma whipplei and some fungi. Case presentation Reported here are two cases of blood in patients aortic mitral regurgitation Brazil; the first case 47-year-old white man second 62-year-old woman. henselae deoxyribonucleic acid was detectable samples cardiac valve vegetation paraffin-fixed tissue...
Toxoplasmosis is an important zoonotic disease caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii and especially fatal for neotropical primates. In Brazil, Ministry of Health responsible national epizootic surveillance, but some diseases are still neglected. Here, we present integrated investigation outbreak that occurred during first year COVID-19 pandemic among eleven primates housed at a primatology center in Brazil. After presenting non-specific clinical signs, all animals died within four days. A...
A bartonelose é uma doença de grande importância para a saúde única, mas apresenta um diagnóstico desafiador, visto que as técnicas convencionais são limitadas, em relação alta complexidade e tempo necessário. Logo, busca por novos alvos o sorológico Bartonella henselae considerável interesse desenvolvimento antígenos específicos pode incrementar sensibilidade especificidade desse diagnóstico. Assim, esta pesquisa avaliou atividade antigênica proteínas quiméricas recombinantes sintetizadas...
A manipulação e armazenamento inadequados de presuntos podem torná-los potenciais transmissores gastroenterites alimentares. Dentro deste contexto, Norovírus (NoV) é responsável por pelo menos 50% dos surtos gastroenterite no mundo inteiro, em que apenas poucas partículas (1-100) são suficientes para causar doença. Atualmente, a detecção patógeno alimentos realizada primariamente métodos moleculares, uma vez ainda não há um método padronizado disponível NoV nestas matrizes. murino (MNV-1)...
Abstract As exemplified by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, infectious diseases may emerge and spread rapidly, often causing serious economic losses public health concerns. In fact, disease outbreaks have become increasingly common, especially those of zoonotic origin. The Brazilian Ministry Health is responsible for national epizootic surveillance. However, system’s focus primarily on affecting humans has led to neglect other diseases. this report, we present an integrated...
