High frequency of hepatitis E virus infection in swine from South Brazil and close similarity to human HEV isolates

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract Hepatitis E virus is responsible for acute and chronic liver infections worldwide. Swine hepatitis E virus has been isolated in Brazil, and a probable zoonotic transmission has been described, although data are still scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of hepatitis E v...

Disentangling structural patterns of natural forest fragments in a savanna matrix in the eastern Brazilian Amazon

Acta amaz; 47 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Natural fragments are an important source of richness for the management and conservation of a local flora. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fragmentation on the structure and composition of the plant communities of forest fragments (FF) in Alter do Chão, eastern Brazil...

Helicobacter pylori with East Asian-type cagPAI genes is more virulent than strains with Western-type in some cagPAI genes

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (2), 2017
Abstract The severity of Helicobacter pylori-related disease is correlated with the presence and integrity of a cag pathogenicity island (cagPAI). cagPAI genotype may have a modifying effect on the pathogenic potential of the infecting strain. After analyzing the sequences of cagPAI genes, some strains w...
