GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID11 » Determination of the microbicidal activity of macrophages infected with spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi (s.l.)

From: 22/09/2021
To: 22/09/2021
Location: ZOOM | 11h00

Lyme borreliosis (LB) is an emerging zoonotic disease with a high prevalence on several continents, namely in Europe where Portugal is no exception, due to the increasing number of registered cases. The etiologic agents are bacteria (spirochetes) of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex (s.l.), transmitted by biting ticks (vectors), mainly of the genus Ixodes.

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID08 » High prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody among health care workers in Guinea-Bissau

From: 30/06/2021
To: 30/06/2021
Location: ZOOM | 11h00

There is limited data on the extent of the African SARS-CoV-2 epidemic. According to official records, 0.2% of the population has tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The results indicate that the infection rate in Guinea-Bissau is considerably higher than what public testing data suggests, especially among females.

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID05 » Molecular tools for mapping and monitoring schistosomiasis in endemic settings

From: 19/05/2021
To: 19/05/2021
Location: ZOOM | 11h00

Evaluation of schistosomiasis control programs, a snail-borne disease caused by Schistosoma spp, requires accurate diagnostic techniques to assess the infection status when low prevalence is achieved in endemic areas under mass drug administration (MDA).
