Her h-index is 27. She has published 3 chapters in international books published by Springer and over 90 papers in international peer-review journals with impact factor in the areas of Parasitology, Tropical Medicine, and Infectious Diseases. She has presented over 150 works at Conferences.

C. Maia has acted as PI/PI responsible for the participation of IHMT/UNL in 9 projects and 1 international network regarding leishmaniasis. She belonged to the Management committee of 2 COST-Actions. She was a team member in 7 projects, in 8 networks and worked as study director in a clinical study.

 

Leishmania and phlebotomine sand flies (epidemiology, diagnosis, fieldwork, vector-pathogen-host interactions; animal models; in vitro Leishmania susceptibility to drugs). In recent years, she has carried out studies on phleboviruses in humans, domestic animals, and sand flies, and in agents transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes with zoonotic or veterinary importance.
