GHTM Sessions 2021CCID11 » Determination of the microbicidal activity of macrophages infected with spirochetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi

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

  • De: 22/09/2021

  • Localização: 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 CCID10 » TB and HIV (nano)diagnosis

  • De: 15/09/2021
  • Até: 15/09/2021
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Diagnosis of HIV infection is based on invasive methods such as blood collection. Since sputum is the main biological product for tuberculosis diagnosis, we aim to develop a non-invasive methodology for the simultaneous detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and HIV in sputum samples of individuals suspected of co-infection using superparamagnetic nanoparticles for capturing the target.

GHTM Session 2021CCID09 » Point-of-care ultrasound in Schist infections

GHTM Sessions 2021 CCID09 » Point-of-care ultrasound in Schistosoma haematobium infections – a new approach to detect potentially carcinogenic lesions

  • De: 21/07/2021
  • Até: 21/07/2021
  • Localização: ZOOM | 11h00

Recently, emerged a tool that can be useful to identify and evaluate potentially carcinogenic bladder or kidney damages: point-of-care ultrasound.
The research on urinary tract lesions as infection symptoms, with the development of ultrasound evaluation protocols, might enable early treatment and prevent cancer progression among millions of people.

  • De: 30/06/2021
  • Até: 30/06/2021
  • Localização: 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.
