1. Detection of enteric agents into a cats’ shelter with cases of chronic diarrhea in Southern Brazil
RESUMO: Uma pesquisa de agentes enteropatogênicos em gatos domésticos de um abrigo foi realizado como etapa da investigação das causas de diarreias crônicas intermitentes. Amostras fecais individuais de 39 gatos, com livre acesso ao ambiente externo, foram obtidas para pesquisa de helmintos através do exame parasitológico, investigação de parvovíru

2. New insights into the detection and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium with emphasis in Brazilian studies: a review
ABSTRACT Cryptosporidium spp. is a pathogenic protozoan present in the gastrointestinal tract of several hosts. This protozoan was originally classified as within the Coccidia Class and has recently been reclassified to gregarine based on studies that observed the evolutionary phases from the process of excision and sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene. Molecular

3. Cryptocaryon irritans, a ciliate parasite of an ornamental reef fish yellowtail tang Zebrasoma xanthurum
Resumo Cryptocaryon irritans é um protozoário ciliado parasita obrigatório de peixes marinhos selvagens e cultivados. Causa a doença dos “pontos brancos”. Infecções por esse patógeno pode causar perdas significativas para aquaristas e para marinocultura comercial em todo o mundo. Este estudo relata a ocorrência de C. irritans parasitando a espéc

4. Occurrence of endo and hemoparasites in Sporophila caerulescens captured in the eastern region of the state of Acre, Brazil
RESUMO: Os animais silvestres são hospedeiros e reservatórios de vários agentes infecciosos, muitas vezes desconhecidos para a comunidade científica, o que leva a sérias implicações na saúde dos ambientes naturais e domésticos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo diagnosticar a ocorrência de parasitos de interesse médico e veterinário em “coleiri

5. Detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in feral wild boars (Sus scrofa) through indirect hemagglutination and PCR
RESUMO: Os javalis (Sus scrofa) tornaram-se uma importante espécie invasora em todas as regiões do Brasil. Com o aumento de sua população causam danos em propriedades rurais, invadindo e destruindo lavouras. Como alternativa para proteger suas culturas e criações, os produtores os caçam e muitas vezes consomem o produto sem qualquer tipo de controle

6. HIF-1alpha and infectious diseases: a new frontier for the development of new therapies
ABSTRACT The aim of this review is to show the significant role of HIF-1alpha in inflammatory and infectious diseases. Hypoxia is a physiological characteristic of a wide range of diseases from cancer to infection. Cellular hypoxia is sensed by oxygen-sensitive hydrolase enzymes, which control the protein stability of hypoxia-inducible factor alpha 1 (HIF-1a

7. Cytotoxic activity in cutaneous leishmaniasis
Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a chronic disease caused by species of the protozoan Leishmania and characterised by the presence of ulcerated skin lesions. Both parasite and host factors affect the clinical presentation of the disease. The development of skin ulcers in CL is associated with an inflammatory response mediated by cells that control parasite gr

8. Enveloped and non-enveloped viral-like particles in Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes
ABSTRACT Electron microscopy is routinely used to identify viral infections in protozoan parasites. These viruses have been described as non-enveloped and icosahedral structures with a diameter of 30-60 nm. Most of them are classified within the non-segmented dsRNA Totiviridae family. We observed virus-like particles (VLPs) through transmission electron micr

9. Aptamers as a promising approach for the control of parasitic diseases
ABSTRACT Aptamers are short single-stranded RNA or DNA oligonucleotides that are capable of binding various biological targets with high affinity and specificity. Their identification initially relies on a molecular process named SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) that has been later modified in order to improve aptamer sensiti

10. Detection of antibodies to Toxoplasma gondii in wild animals in Brazil
Background Toxoplasmosis is a worldwide zoonosis caused by an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite,Toxoplasma gondii, that affects all warm-blooded animals, including wild animals. The increased number of cases of parasitic infections is mainly due to the destruction of environmental conservation areas, which is driving wild animals out of their habit

11. Trypanosomatid comparative genomics: contributions to the study of parasite biology and different parasitic diseases
In 2005, draft sequences of the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania major, also known as the Tri-Tryp genomes, were published. These protozoan parasites are the causative agents of three distinct insect-borne diseases, namely sleeping sickness, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, all with a worldwide distribution. Despite the large

12. Enteroparasitoses em comunidades indígenas brasileirass / Intestinal parasites in Brazilian indigenous communities
The parasitic infections are the major public health problems, presenting an endemic form in several areas of Brazil. They may present narrow relationship with social-demographical and environmental factors, such as: social-economical precarious conditions, consumption contaminated water, deficient nutritional condition of individuals and others, being frequ
