Characterization of Envelope Surface Glycoprotein from HIV-2 Primary Isolates with Different Coreceptor Usage Profile

  • Authors: Cerejo P, Santos-Costa Q, Calado M, Espírito-Santo M, Parreira R, Azevedo-Pereira JM
  • Publication Year: 2018
  • Journal: AIDS Research and Human Retroviruses
  • Link: https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/aid.2017.0192%20

The main goal of this work was to identify molecular signatures in envelope surface glycoprotein that may be correlated with coreceptor usage by different human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-2 strains. From inspection of aligned HIV-2 sequences, we verified that V1/V2 region showed the highest degree of amino acid sequence heterogeneity, including polymorphisms in N-linked glycosylation sites, […]

Sesquiterpenes effects on DNA of Schistosoma mansoni after in vivo treatment

  • Authors: de Oliveira RN, Ferreira PM, Calado M, Belo S, Afonso A, Garcia VL, Oliveira ASS, de Lurdes Sierpe Jeraldo V, dos Santos KR, Allegretti SM

Schistosomiasis is a chronic Neglected Tropical Disease that can be debilitating, particularly children, of tropical and subtropical regions presenting an enormous global health and economic burden. Notoriously for over 30 years, the praziquantel (PZQ) is the only drug used for treatment of disease. For this reason, the search for new schistosomicidal drugs is a priority. […]

Culex pipiens as a potential vector for transmission of Dirofilaria immitis and other unclassified Filarioidea in Southwest Spain

  • Authors: Almeida APG, Blanco-Ciudad J, Bravo-Barriga D, Calado M, Frontera E, Parreira R, Pérez-Martín JE, Pinto J, Reina D, Sánchez-Peinado J, Serrano-Aguilera FJ
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Veterinary Parasitology

Dirofilaria immitis is one of the most frequently detected mosquito-transmitted zoonotic filarioid nematode in mammals in Europe, being canine dirofilariosis a major animal health problem, endemic in the Mediterranean area. This study, focused on Southwest Spain, in order to bring new insights into (i) the epidemiology of Dirofilaria spp., (ii) the species of Culicid vectors […]

Molecular characterization of Dirofilaria spp. circulating in Portugal

  • Authors: Afonso A, Alho AM, Belo S, Calado M, Ferreira C, Madeira de Carvalho L, Maurício I, Meireles J
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Parasites & Vectors
  • Link: https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-017-2180-y

Dirofilariosis is a potentially zoonotic parasitic disease, mainly transmitted by mosquito vectors in many parts of the world. Data concerning the canine Dirofilaria species currently circulating in Portugal is scarce. Thereby, a large-scale study was conducted to determine the Dirofilaria spp. present in Portugal, based on a molecular approach, and also to optimize a reliable […]
