Se presenta un caso familiar de esporotricosis, un padre y su hijo que consultaron en el Servicio de Derma...
La carbapenemasa es una enzima producida por varias especies bacterianas, capaz de inactivar un grupo de antibióticos: los carbapenemes. El riesgo radica, además de la dificultad para el tratamiento de las infecciones resistentes a estos antibióticos, en su fácil diseminación entre especies bacteria...
Abstract: Behavioral interventions have been essential components of HIV prevention approaches, especially those aimed to promote safe sexual practices. We conducted a comprehensive literature search without language restrictions between 1980 and July 2014 to identify randomized controlled trials or cont...
Abstract: Residual insecticide spraying still is the main tool used to suppress house infestations with Chagas disease vectors. While manual compression sprayers (MCS) have traditionally been used in Latin America, Mendoza's vector control program from Argentina introduced the use of a modified motorized...
Abstract: We analyzed environmental factors that provide food, water and harborage to rodents and the risk of household rodent infestation in a slum community with a high risk of leptospirosis transmission. Detailed environmental surveys were performed in 221 households. Multivariate regression models ev...
Resumo: A cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, apresenta elevado potencial de receptividade para a introdução, disseminação e persistência da transmissão de dengue. A ocupação do município conformou um mosaico heterogêneo e diversificado, com distribuição vetorial diferenciada entre e dentro dos...

ABSTRACT Understanding the ability of the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) to be transmitted by Aedes vectors in the Americas is critical for assessing epidemiological risk. One element that must be considered is the minimum infectious dose of virus that can lead to transmission following the extrinsic incubati...
