Análise da percepção de acadêmicos de medicina de São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brasil sobre a doença de Chagas e seus vetores
As doenças negligenciadas (DN) são um grupo diversificado de enfermidades que prevalecem em condições tropicais e subtropicais de 149 países e afetam mais de um bilhão de pessoas que vivem em situação de pobreza em todo o mundo. Atualmente, estima-se que oito milhões de pessoas estejam infectada...
Complexos imínicos de cobre com atividade antiparasitária frente à doença de chagas
Neste trabalho foram sintetizados e caracterizados três complexos de cobre com ligantes imínicos, com o objetivo de avaliar sua atividade tripanocida. Esses complexos foram caracterizados por diversas técnicas espectroscópicas, como UV-Vis, Infravermelho e EPR, além de análise elementar e espectrom...
Reactivation of Chagas disease after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 54 (), 2021
Abstract Chagas disease (CD) is a protozoan zoonosis caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. Reactivation of CD occurs via drug-induced immunosuppression before and during transplantation. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old man diagnosed with classic Hodgkin lymphoma who received highly aggressive conditioni...
Phenotypic and genetic variation of Triatoma costalimai (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 54 (), 2021
Abstract INTRODUCTION: We aimed to study intraspecific variation in Triatoma costalimai, a potential vector of Chagas disease present in Brazil and Bolivia. METHODS: We analyzed phenotypic (connexivum color patterns, wing morphometrics) and genetic variation (16S mtDNA) of three Brazilian T. costalima...

Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 54 (), 2021
Abstract INTRODUCTION: This communication reports on the occurrence of colonization by Panstrongylus megistus in an urban park in the municipality of São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: Entomological research includes active search for vectors based on notifications by the population and identification and ex...
Case report of Chagas disease reactivation: new diagnosis tool by direct microscopic observation of biopsy specimen and its preservation fluid
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 54 (), 2021
Abstract Chagas Disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. This infection is endemic in the Americas region. Neurological Chagas reactivation is diagnosed through the visualization of the parasite in the cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or tissue samples. Herein, we report the visualization of trypomastigotes by...
Occurrence of Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister, 1835) in an area under entomological surveillance in the Southeast Region of Brazil
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 54 (), 2021
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Panstrongylus megistus is the main triatomine involved in the human transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in Minas Gerais, Brazil. We analyzed the occurrence of triatomines in the Itaúna micro-regions for healthcare. METHODS: Data were collected as part of routine entomological sur...
Systematic review on the biology, ecology, genetic diversity and parasite transmission potential of Panstrongylus geniculatus (Latreille 1811) in Latin America
Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 116 (), 2021
Panstrongylus geniculatus (Latreille, 1811) is the triatomine with the largest geographic distribution in Latin America. It has been reported in 18 countries from southern Mexico to northern Argentina, including the Caribbean islands. Although most reports indicate that P. geniculatus has wild habitats, ...
