13. Immunoregulation in the pulmonary tuberculosis human: study of extension of the pulmonary lesions. / Imunoregulação na tuberculose pulmonar humana: estudo de extensão da lesão pulmonar.
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the infectious diseases that cause approximately 3 million deaths and 8 million of new cases, in the worldwide, annually. This infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has attracted the attention of many studies due to the high mortality and multiresistance of the bacillus. Many factors are involved in this disease

14. Evaluating the impact of forest fragmentation on prevalence and transmission of tick pathogens / Avaliação do efeito da fragmentação florestal na diversidade de carrapatos e patógenos transmitidos por carrapatos ma região do Pontal Paranapanema, SP
This study evaluated the impact of forest fragmentation on diversity of freeliving ticks and prevalence of tick pathogens in remaining forest fragments in the Pontal do Paranapanema, São Paulo state, Brazil. These forest fragments shelter rich and important biodiversity, with endemic and threatened species such as the black lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chry

15. Emerging and reemerging diseases in Brazil: data of a recent history of risks and uncertainties
This article discusses the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases on the basis of a review of the literature. It shows the critical situations faced worldwide and in special Brazil's susceptible position due to its complexity, mostly represented by the mega-biodiversity of the country and its socio-economic problems directly affecting public health

19. Essential diagnostics - the role of the Department of Biomedical Research of the Royal Tropical Institute in the 21st century
In the light of emerging and overlooked infectious diseases and widespread drug resistance, diagnostics have become increasingly important in supporting surveillance, disease control and outbreak management programs. In many low-income countries the diagnostic service has been a neglected part of health care, often lacking quantity and quality or even non-ex

20. Emerging infectious diseases
Human population growth, technological advances, and changing social behaviors lead to the selection of new microbial pathogens. Antimicrobial drugs, vaccines, diagnostics, and treatments for emerging infectious diseases must be developed. The selective forces that drive the emergence of new infectious diseases, and the implications for our survival, are jus

21. Animals as Early Detectors of Bioevents: Veterinary Tools and a Framework for Animal-Human Integrated Zoonotic Disease Surveillance
The threat of bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases has prompted various public health agencies to recommend enhanced surveillance activities to supplement existing surveillance plans. The majority of emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorist agents are zoonotic. Animals are more sensitive to certain biological agents, and their use as clinical s

23. Managing emerging infectious diseases: Is a federal system an impediment to effective laws?
In the 1980's and 1990's HIV/AIDS was the emerging infectious disease. In 2003–2004 we saw the emergence of SARS, Avian influenza and Anthrax in a man made form used for bioterrorism. Emergency powers legislation in Australia is a patchwork of Commonwealth quarantine laws and State and Territory based emergency powers in public health legislation. It is ti

24. Risk factors for human disease emergence.
A comprehensive literature review identifies 1415 species of infectious organism known to be pathogenic to humans, including 217 viruses and prions, 538 bacteria and rickettsia, 307 fungi, 66 protozoa and 287 helminths. Out of these, 868 (61%) are zoonotic, that is, they can be transmitted between humans and animals, and 175 pathogenic species are associated
