Trypanosoma cruzi strains from distinct geographic areas show differences in drug resistance and association between parasites genetic and treatment response has been observed. Considering that benznidazole (BZ) can reduce the parasite burden and tissues damage, even in not cured animals and individuals, the goal is to assess the drug response to BZ of T. cruzi II strains isolated from children of the Jequitinh...
Canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) is a parasitic disease endemic in many countries, anddogs present as the major natural reservoir of the parasite, Leishmania chagasi (syn. L.infantum). Biomarkers in the canine immune system is an important technique in thecourse of developing vaccines and treatment strategies against CVL. New methodologiesfor studying the immune response of dogs during Leishmania infection a...

In this study, we summarized the major phenotypic/functional aspects of circulating leuko-cytes following canine immunization with Leishvaccine and Leishmune ®. Our findings showed that Leishvaccine triggered early changes in the innate immunity (neutrophils and eosinophils) with late alterations on monocytes. Conversely, Leishmune ® induced early phenotypic changes in both, neutrophils and monocytes. Moreover,...
Malaria is second only to tuberculosis as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality as a consequence of a single infectious agent. Much of the pathology of malaria arises from the inappropriate or excessive immune response mounted by the host in an attempt to eliminate the parasite. We here report the inflammatory changes observed in the cerebral microvasculature of C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice that had been inoc...
Phenotypic features of peripheral blood leukocytes have been investigated as a prerequisite to characterize the protective immunity attributed to both Leishvaccine and Leishmune ® . Our results showed that either those vaccine were accompanied by distinct profiles on innate immune compartment. While Leishvaccine promoted early changes in phenotypic fea-tures of neutrophils and eosinophils with late involvement ...
Desferrioxamine (DFO) is a potent iron chelator that is also known to modulate inflammation and act as an efficient antioxidant under normal conditions and under oxidative stress. Many in vitro and in vivo studies have shown the efficacy of DFO in the treatment of viral, bacterial and protozoan infections. DFO is known to reduce the intensity of Trypanosoma cruzi infections in mice even during a course of thera...
