A leishmaniose canina é uma doença multifacetada, causada por várias espécies de protozoários do gênero Leishmania, transmitidos por várias espécies de flebotomíneos, em diferentes tipos de ambiente. A leishmaniose tem um impacto psicossocial e socioeconômico considerável em áreas endêmicas ...
ABSTRACT Psittacine birds have been identified as reservoirs of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli, a subset of pathogens associated with mortality of children in tropical countries. The role of other orders of birds as source of infection is unclear. The aim of this study was to perform the molecular diagno...

BACKGROUND The detection of live Mycobacterium leprae in soil and animals other than humans suggests that the environment plays a role in the transmission of leprosy. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of viable M. leprae in natural water sources used by the local popu...
Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important public health concern in areas extending from South America northward into the southern United States of America. Although this hemoflagellate has many wild and domestic mammalians reported as reservoir hosts, studies on this subj...

Abstract This study aimed to detect parasites from Leishmania genus, to determine the prevalence of anti-Leishmania spp. antibodies, to identify circulating species of the parasite, and to determine epidemiological variables associated with infection in rats caught in urban area of Londrina, Paraná, Bra...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors that predispose patients who are hospitalized with pressure ulcers (PUs) colonized by Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) to develop bacteremia. In addition, we also detected main phenotypes of resistance in infected and uninfected PUs. A prospe...
As leishmanioses americanas são zoonoses em que o homem é um hospedeiro acidental, nas quais várias espécies de Leishmania, de vetores e reservatórios (silvestres, sinantrópicos ou domésticos) estão envolvidas. Com a destruição da cobertura vegetal, várias regiões do Brasil vêm registrando m...
A leishmaniose visceral é uma doença infecciosa grave de evolução lenta, a sua transmissão se dá através da picada de um vetor flebotomíneo infectado. Essa doença é considerada um grave problema de saúde pública, acomete pessoas de todas as idades e, se não diagnosticada e tratada, pode ser ...
ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Diagnose risk environments for schistosomiasis in coastal localities of Pernambuco using geoprocessing techniques. METHODS A coproscopic and malacological survey were carried out in the Forte Orange and Serrambi areas. Environmental variables (temperature, salinity, pH, total disso...
