Sex, subdivision, and domestic dispersal of Trypanosoma cruzi lineage I in southern Ecuador. [PDF]
, 2010 BACKGROUND: Molecular epidemiology at the community level has an important guiding role in zoonotic disease control programmes where genetic markers are suitably variable to unravel the dynamics of local transmission. We evaluated the molecular diversity

HTLV screening and confirmatory testing among blood donors in São Paulo: A cross‐sectional study
Transfusion Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Human T‐cell lymphotropic virus types 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1/2) are transfusion‐transmissible retroviruses associated with severe diseases, and blood donor screening is mandatory in Brazil. Increasing HTLV‐related discard rates at our institution prompted this study to determine the prevalence and incidence of HTLV‐1/2 and to investigate

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Arboviruses induce virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and functional markers. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) exposure was associated with reduced syncytiotrophoblast and syncytial knot areas, increased cytotrophoblast proliferation (Ki‐67) and thyroid transporter (MCT8) expression, reduced protective (P‐gp and BCRP ...
