13. Genetic and biological characterisation of Zika virus isolates from different Brazilian regions
BACKGROUND Zika virus (ZIKV) infections reported in recent epidemics have been linked to clinical complications that had never been associated with ZIKV before. Adaptive mutations could have contributed to the successful emergence of ZIKV as a global health threat to a nonimmune population. However, the causal relationships between the ZIKV genetic determi

14. Can insect assemblages tell us something about the urban environment health?
Abstract Abstract: If we consider Drosophilidae, the answer to the question above is yes. Many research groups in Brazil and abroad have been showing that assemblages of flies of this family can reflect environmental alteration levels caused by urbanization, and/or by other human disturbances. I will present here a summary of our findings in Drosophilidae as

15. Detection of virulence genes in Salmonella Heidelberg isolated from chicken carcasses
ABSTRACT During the last years, Brazilian government control programs have detected an increase of Salmonella Heidelberg in poultry slaughterhouses a condition that poses a threat to human health However, the reasons remain unclear. Differences in genetic virulence profiles may be a possible justification. In addition, effective control of Salmonella is rela

16. Salmonella Panama: Genetic Diversity of the Isolates Collected from Human and Non-human Sources
Abstract INTRODUCTION Salmonella enterica serovar Panama belongs to the D1 serogroup and is frequently associated with nontyphoidal salmonellosis in humans. This study aimed to characterize isolates collected from Northeast Brazil by phenotypic and molecular methods. METHODS Forty four S. Panama strains were examined for antimicrobial susceptibility, viru

17. Edição genética: riscos e benefícios da modificação do DNA humano
Resumo O artigo analisa discussões sobre edição genética humana encontradas em artigos científicos, declarações institucionais e proferidas no International Summit on Gene Editing realizado em 2015. Objetiva-se explicitar e refletir sobre argumentos favoráveis e contrários à modificação do DNA. A edição genética pode desenvolver novas terapêu

18. Advances in the propagation of Brazilian Cherry tree
Resumo A Pitangueira é fruteira nativa da família Myrtaceae com ampla adaptação as diferentes condições edafoclimáticas do país, o que a torna muito conhecida. Todavia, ainda existem poucos pomares comerciais com a cultura, o que talvez seja em breve revertido uma vez que estudos vem demonstrando a importância do consumo de seu fruto para saúde hu

19. New insights into the detection and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium with emphasis in Brazilian studies: a review
ABSTRACT Cryptosporidium spp. is a pathogenic protozoan present in the gastrointestinal tract of several hosts. This protozoan was originally classified as within the Coccidia Class and has recently been reclassified to gregarine based on studies that observed the evolutionary phases from the process of excision and sequencing of the 18S rRNA gene. Molecular

20. Evolutionary study of potentially zoonotic hepatitis E virus genotype 3 from swine in Northeast Brazil
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), an emerging virus associated with acute hepatic disease, leads to thousands of deaths worldwide. HEV has already been reported in Brazil; however, there is a lack of epidemiological and molecular information on the genetic variability, taxonomy, and evolution of HEV. It is thus unclear whether hepatitis E is a neglected disease in Br

21. Evaluation of the Genetic Screening Processor for the Performance of Newborn Screening Tests
Abstract The collection of dried blood spots (DBSs) on filter paper has been a powerful tool in newborn screening (NBS) programs and in other fields. However, filter paper has been associated with some level of imprecision due to the filter paper matrix effect. In order to minimize measurement variations, these interferences should be evaluated by NBS assays

22. Polymorphism in the interleukin-10 gene is associated with overactive bladder phenotype associated with HTLV-1 infection
Abstract INTRODUCTION Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated inflammatory diseases are not well understood; however, their clinical manifestations may be influenced by the host genetic background. METHODS We genotyped 298 individuals with HTLV-1 and 380 controls for interleukin-10 (IL10) gene variants-rs3024496, rs1800871, rs1800896-a

23. From ecosystems to human welfare: the role and conservation of biodiversity
RESUMO: A biodiversidade desempenha um papel fundamental no bem-estar humano, proporcionando benefícios agrícolas, econômicos e de saúde. No entanto, após a revolução industrial, a rápida expansão da população humana e as subsequentes atividades econômicas provocaram uma perda drástica na biodiversidade global, resultando em perturbações sign

24. Combination of surveillance tools reveals that Yellow Fever virus can remain in the same Atlantic Forest area at least for three transmission seasons
BACKGROUND In Brazil, the Yellow Fever virus (YFV) is endemic in the Amazon, from where it eventually expands into epidemic waves. Coastal south-eastern (SE) Brazil, which has been a YFV-free region for eight decades, has reported a severe sylvatic outbreak since 2016. The virus spread from the north toward the south of the Rio de Janeiro (RJ) state, causin
