Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Peridomestic infestation by Triatoma pallidipennis and natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in Zacatepec, Morelos, Mexico Infestación peridoméstica por Triatoma pallidipennis e infección natural por Trypanosoma cruzi en Zacatepec, Morelos, México

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

Changes in the Pterygopalatine and Midpalatal Sutures After Rapid Palatal Expansion With Tooth‐Bone‐Borne (MARPE) and Tooth‐Borne (Hyrax) Appliances

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the effects of tooth‐bone‐borne mini‐implant‐assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) and tooth‐borne (Hyrax) rapid palatal expansion (RPE) techniques on the pterygopalatine suture (PPS) and the opening pattern of the midpalatal suture (MPS).

Epigenetic signatures of attention problems in youth with childhood exposure to family and community violence

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Aim The link between violence‐related epigenetic changes and attentional problems (APs) is still not well understood. This article examines if exposure to family and community violence during childhood and adolescence may shape DNA methylation patterns associated with attention in youth.

“Hitting the Target, but Missing the Point” in Regulatory Impact Assessments: Does Bureaucratization Lead to Better RIAs?

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The extent to which Regulatory Impact Assessments (RIAs) conform to the “ideal” rational decision‐making model depends on factors such as political appropriation and the capacity of regulatory bodies. However, despite RIAs being embedded in bureaucratic settings, little research examines how the degree of formalization of RIA implementation ...

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

Vaccine Targets and Antimicrobial Resistance of Streptococcus agalactiae Recovered From Pregnant Women in Brazil

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives The available measure to prevent Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) neonatal infection is intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP), but it is threatened by bacterial resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate antimicrobial resistance and bacterial targets of vaccines at the most advanced stage of ...

Plasmodium falciparum Parasites With Histidine‐Rich Protein 2 (pfhrp2) and pfhrp3 Gene Deletions in Frontier Endemic Regions of Brazilian Amazon

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studies reporting deletions of the pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes in P. falciparum populations in various malaria‐endemic countries, including countries bordering Brazil, are increasing. Individuals infected with P. falciparum carrying deletions of the pfhrp2/3 genes may yield false‐negative results in Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) based on the ...
