Fundamental niche prediction of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii in Europe is an important tool to understand where these pathogenic yeasts have a high probability to survive in the environment and therefore to identify the areas with high risk of infection. In this study, occurrence data for C. neoformans and C. gattii were compared by […]

Strengthening Bioethics Committees from Portuguese Speaking African Countries

  • Authors: Araújo I, Fernandes E, Pereira de Melo H, Schwalbach J, Sevene E, Silva A
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical

In the last decade, in Lusophone African countries, like in other countries from Africa, health research has increased and in response Research Ethics Committees have been established namely in Universities, Research Centers and Ministries of Health. But these committees still face a serious lack of staff trained in research ethics, and the “language divide” is […]

Health in Brazil improved notably by changes in the social determinants of health and the health system, and by changes in the social and economic development of the country. However there are still regional, socioeconomic and ethnic disparities and gender inequalities that affect the health of the population. Funding policies, production and transaction of knowledge […]

Development and evaluation of a two-step multiplex TaqMan real-time PCR assay for detection/quantification of different genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato

  • Authors: Nunes M, Parreira R, Carreira T, Inácio J, Vieira ML

  • Journal: Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases

Nowadays, at least four clinically important B. burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) genospecies (B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.) and B. lusitaniae) circulate in Portugal. Each genospecies has a different tropism that resuls in a diverse array of clinical manifestations. The standard diagnostic procedure used is normally simple, nevertheless, during the “window-period” phase, […]

From the evaluation of capacity strengthening projects to health policies and practices: a case study in Mozambique

  • Authors: Dias S, Hartz Z, Okamura M
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical

Evaluative studies are useful to understand the implementation and effectiveness of strategies in health. However, the ability to translate the results of these studies into changes in clinical practice and policymaking has been small compared to the investments made over the years. Thus, there is a weak link between the process of knowledge production, its […]
