Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity in continental Equatorial Guinea before and after introduction of artemisinin based combination therapy

Efforts to control malaria may affect malaria parasite genetic variability and drug resistance, the latter of which is associated with genetic events that promote mechanisms to escape drug action. The worldwide spread of drug resistance has been a major obstacle to controlling Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and thus the study of the origin and spread of associated mutations […]

Characterization of rotavirus infection in children with acute gastroenteritis in Bengo province, Northwestern Angola, prior to vaccine introduction

  • Autores: Brito M, Gasparinho C, Istrate C, Mayer C, Mendes C, Mirante MC, Nery SV, Piedade J

BACKGROUND: Rotavirus group A (RVA) is considered the leading cause of pediatric diarrhea, responsible for the high burden of diarrheal diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite recent studies, the existent data are scarce for some African countries like Angola, a country with one of the highest RVA-related death estimates. The aim of this study was to […]

Molecular epidemiology of rotavirus in four provinces of Angola before vaccine introduction

  • Autores: Dimbu R, Esteves A, Fortes F, Istrate C, Mendes C, Nordgren J, Pereira J, Saraiva N
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: Journal of Medical Virology
  • Link: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.24510/epdf

Angola is a sub-Saharan country in southern Africa highly affected by diarrhoeal disease with limited epidemiological data regarding etiologic agents. This study was performed during 2012-2013, prior to rotavirus vaccine introduction, with the objective to detect and characterize the rotavirus strains circulating in four provinces of the country: Huambo, Luanda, Zaire, and Cabinda. A high […]

Molecular evolution and population genetics of a Gram-negative binding protein gene in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (sensu lato)

  • Autores: Arez AP, Charlwood JD, Lopes AS, Mendes C, Pinto J, Salgueiro P, Silveira H
  • Ano de Publicação: 2016
  • Journal: Parasites & Vectors
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5034674/

Background Clarifying the role of the innate immune system of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae is a potential way to block the development of the Plasmodium parasites. Pathogen recognition is the first step of innate immune response, where pattern recognition proteins like GNBPs play a central role. Results We analysed 70 sequences of the protein coding gene GNBPB2 from two species, Anopheles […]
