ABSTRACT Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Seven lineages have been identified based on different molecular markers, namely TcI, TcII, TcIII, TcIV, TcV, TcVI, and TcBat. Dogs play the role of epidemiological sentinels being domestic reservoirs of T. cruzi. The aim of the current study was to report the first case of […]

Plasmodium falciparum malarial parasites from Brazil lack artemisinin resistance-associated mutations in the kelch13 gene

INTRODUCTION Mutations in the propeller domain of the Plasmodium falciparum kelch13 (k13) gene are associated with artemisinin resistance. METHODS: We developed a PCR protocol to sequence the pfk13 gene and determined its sequence in a batch of 50 samples collected from 2003 to 2016 in Brazil. RESULTS: We identified 1 K189T substitution located outside the propeller domain of the […]

Polymerase chain reaction-based method for the identification of leishmania (viannia) Braziliensis and leishmania (viannia) guyanensis in mucosal tissues conserved in paraffin

In the Americas, mucosal leishmaniasis is primarily associated with infection by Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis. However, Leishmania (Viannia) guyanensis is another important cause of this disease in the Brazilian Amazon. In this study, we aimed at detecting Leishmaniadeoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) within paraffin-embedded fragments of mucosal tissues, and characterizing the infecting parasite species. We evaluated samples collected […]

Spatial risk of tuberculosis mortality and social vulnerability in Northeast Brazil

Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common infectious disease in the world. The authors aimed to analyze the spatial risk of tuberculosis mortality and to verify associations in high-risk areas with social vulnerability. They performed an ecological study. In addition, they used scan statistic to detect areas at risk, and the Bivariate Moran Index to verify […]

Perceptions of the usefulness of external support to immunization coverage in Guinea-Bissau: A Delphi analysis of the GAVI-alliance cash-based support

  • Autores: Ferrinho P
  • Ano de Publicação: 2013
  • Journal: Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical
  • Link: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0037-86822013000100007

Although many countries have improved vaccination coverage in recent years, some, including Guinea-Bissau, failed to meet expected targets. This paper tries to understand the main barriers to better vaccination coverage in the context of the GAVI-Alliance (The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation) cash-based support provided to Guinea-Bissau.
