13. Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus: interaction with fibroblasts and muscle cells - new insights into parasite-mediated host cell cytotoxicity
Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus are parasitic, flagellated protists that inhabit the urogenital tract of humans and bovines, respectively. T. vaginalis causes the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted disease worldwide and has been associated with an increased risk for human immunodeficiency virus-1 infection in humans. Infections by

14. Trypanosomatid comparative genomics: contributions to the study of parasite biology and different parasitic diseases
In 2005, draft sequences of the genomes of Trypanosoma brucei, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania major, also known as the Tri-Tryp genomes, were published. These protozoan parasites are the causative agents of three distinct insect-borne diseases, namely sleeping sickness, Chagas disease and leishmaniasis, all with a worldwide distribution. Despite the large

15. Mecanismos intraflagelares de transporte e trânsito de proteínas: uma abordagem pós-genômica e computacional de caracterização da virulência flagelar em Leishmania spp. / Intraflagelares mechanisms of transport and transit proteins: a post-genomics and computational characterization of virulence flagellar Leishmania spp.
Leishmania are flagellated protozoa that cause a main neglected diseasease, collectively known as leishmaniases, posing a constant challenge for the control and prevention of the disease due to the wide-world distribution and prevalence of these parasites. As an insinuating pathogen, Leishmania has a specialized organelle for motility, the flagellum, which i

16. Biomarkers for susceptibility to infection and disease severity in human malaria
Malaria remains a major infectious disease that affects millions of people. Once infected with Plasmodium parasites, a host can develop a broad range of clinical presentations, which result from complex interactions between factors derived from the host, the parasite and the environment. Intense research has focused on the identification of reliable predicto

17. Inter and intra-guild interactions in egg parasitoid species of the soybean stink bug complex.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the parasitism behavior of Telenomus podisi Ashmead, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) e Trissolcus urichi Crawford (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on eggs of Nezara viridula L., Euschistus heros F., Piezodorus guildinii Westwood and Acrosternum aseadum Rolston (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), in no choice and multiple choi

18. Identificação de alvos antigênicos na ATP difosfohidrolase solúvel de Schistosoma mansoni e possível aplicação funcional de peptídeos sintéticos
The antigenicity of both soluble S. mansoni ATP diphosphohydrolase and membraneassociated isoforms has been recently described. Cross-immunoreactivity between potato apyrase and IgG antibody from S. mansoni-infected mice or schistosomiasis patients strongly suggested that the epitopes shared between the vegetable and parasite proteins are antigenic. By bioin

19. Overlooked post-translational modifications of proteins in Plasmodium falciparum: N- and O-glycosylation - A Review
Human malignant malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum and accounts for almost 900,000 deaths per year, the majority of which are children and pregnant women in developing countries. There has been significant effort to understand the biology of P. falciparum and its interactions with the host. However, these studies are hindered because several aspects

20. Saúde pública no primeiro e terceiro mundos : desafios e perspectivas / Public health in the first and third worlds: challenges and perspectives
O direito universal à saúde está bem estabelecido, mas entre declarações de propósitos e a realidade existem abismos difíceis de transpor. O desenvolvimento científico-tecnológico desigual tem acentuado as distâncias entre os padrões de vida, e, portanto, o estado sanitário de populações do Primeiro e Terceiro Mundos. Um dos segmentos mais impo

21. Draft genome sequence of the Daphnia pathogen Octosporea bayeri : insights into the gene content of a large microsporidian genome and a model for host-parasite interactions
Background: The highly compacted 2.9-Mb genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi placed the microsporidia in the spotlight, encoding a mere 2,000 proteins and a highly reduced suite of biochemical pathways. This extreme level of reduction is not universal across the microsporidia, with genomes known to vary up to sixfold in size, suggesting that some genomes may h

22. Capybara (Rodentia) and Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae): ecological change and the interaction of host and parasite in urban areas / Capivaras (Rodentia) e Carrapatos (Acari: Ixodidae): alterações ecológicas e a interação do hospedeiro e parasita em áreas urbanas
The recent and human caused environmental changes interfered with the evolutionary interactions between parasites and hosts. These changes accidentally benefited those few animals species, more adapted to the altered environment. However, the biodiversity of parasites was affected, and some parasitic species were benefited as well. In the case of ticks, thos

23. Inhibition of Trypanosoma cruzi proline racemase affects host-parasite interactions and the outcome of in vitro infection
Proline racemase is an important enzyme of Trypanosoma cruzi and has been shown to be an effective mitogen for B cells, thus contributing to the parasite's immune evasion and persistence in the human host. Recombinant epimastigote parasites overexpressing TcPRAC genes coding for proline racemase present an augmented ability to differentiate into metacyclic i

24. A century of research: what have we learned about the interaction of Trypanosoma cruzi with host cells?
Since the discovery of Trypanosoma cruzi and the brilliant description of the then-referred to "new tripanosomiasis" by Carlos Chagas 100 years ago, a great deal of scientific effort and curiosity has been devoted to understanding how this parasite invades and colonises mammalian host cells. This is a key step in the survival of the parasite within the verte
