1. A genética da vida humana embrionária e a proteção do patrimônio genético individual e coletivo: por um ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado no ambiente de risco
Esta pesquisa insere-se no Biodireito e no Direito Ambiental e versa sobre o tema proteção do patrimônio genético individual e coletivo, fundamentada no direito à identidade genética da pessoa humana, e na proteção da biodiversidade e da integridade do patrimônio genético do País, em benefício das futuras gerações. Assim, entre os deveres do Po

2. Reverse Genetics Demonstrates that Proteolytic Processing of the Ebola Virus Glycoprotein Is Not Essential for Replication in Cell Culture
Ebola virus, a prime example of an emerging pathogen, causes fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and in nonhuman primates. Identification of major determinants of Ebola virus pathogenicity has been hampered by the lack of effective strategies for experimental mutagenesis. Here we exploit a reverse genetics system that allows the generation of Ebola virus from

3. Mosquitocidal toxins of bacilli and their genetic manipulation for effective biological control of mosquitoes.
The identification, cloning, and characterization of protein toxins from various species of bacilli have demonstrated the existence of mosquitocidal toxins with different structures, mechanisms of action, and host ranges. A start has been made in understanding the polypeptide determinants of toxicity and insecticidal activity, and the purification of toxins

4. Engineering blood meal-activated systemic immunity in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti
Progress in molecular genetics makes possible the development of alternative disease control strategies that target the competence of mosquitoes to transmit pathogens. We tested the regulatory region of the vitellogenin (Vg) gene of Aedes aegypti for its ability to express potential antipathogen factors in transgenic mosquitoes. Hermes-mediated transformatio

5. Streptococcus salivarius urease: genetic and biochemical characterization and expression in a dental plaque streptococcus.
The hydrolysis of urea by urease enzyme of oral bacteria is believed to have a major impact on oral microbial ecology and to be intimately involved in oral health and diseases. To begin to understand the biochemistry and genetics of oral ureolysis, a study of the urease of Streptococcus salivarius, a highly ureolytic organism which is present in large number
