Desenvolvimento de atividade educacional em área endêmica para a esquistossomos...
Souza, Yasmin Nobre de; Franco, Tamires Alves; Cavalcante, Cinthya Rilya Oliveira; Silva Filho, José Damião da; Sousa, Mariana SilvaA esquistossomose é uma doença endêmica causada pelo parasito Schistosoma mansoni, cuja infecção ocorre através do contato com a água contaminada. A prevalência se dá em áreas tropicais e subtropicais, em comunidades carentes sem acesso a água potável e saneamento básico, sendo a maioria comunidades pobres e rurais. Nosso projeto vem sendo realizado nas cidades do estado do Ceará: Capistrano e Jaguaretama, na q...
Controle da esquistossomose em municípios cearenses envolvidos na integração do...
Pinheiro, Marta Cristhiany Cunha; Silva Filho, José Damião da; Sousa, Mariana Silva; Castro, Issis Maria Nogueira deAs ações de controle e vigilância da esquistossomose dos Programas de Controle da Esquistossomose (PCE) têm grande relevância, em especial em contextos de grandes intervenções ambientais como o Projeto de Integração do Rio São Francisco (PISF), que afetará a dinâmica de transmissão. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o desenvolvimento das ações do PCE em municípios da região Sul do Estado do Ceará que serão di...
Identification of Biomphalaria sp. and other freshwater snails in the large-sca...
Bezerra, Fernando Schemelzer de Moraes; Pinheiro, Marta Cristhiany Cunha; Silva Filho, José Damião da; Castro, Issis Maria Nogueira deThe wide eco-bio-social intervention generated by the SaoFrancisco River Integration Project (PISF) may contribute to the dispersion or introduction of schistosomiasis intermediate hosts in areas without prior recording. The objective was to characterize the limnic malacofauna and its distribution along watersheds involved in the PISF. A cross-sectional study based on the collection of mollusks from 33 water bo...

Spatiotemporal patterns of schistosomiasis : related deaths, Brazil, 2000–2011
Martins-Melo, Francisco Rogerlândio; Pinheiro, Marta Cristhiany Cunha; Ramos Júnior, Alberto Novaes; Alencar, Carlos HenriqueWe analyzed spatiotemporal patterns of 8,756 schistosomiasis- related deaths in Brazil during 2000–2011 and identified high-risk clusters of deaths, mainly in highly schistosomiasis- endemic areas along the coast of Brazil’s Northeast Region. Schistosomiasis remains a neglected public health problem with a high number of deaths in disease-endemic and emerging focal areas.
Schistosoma mansoni: protective immunity in mice cured by chemotherapy at the c...
Bezerra, Fernando Schemelzer de Moraes; Coelho, Paulo Marcos Zech; Tavares, Carlos Alberto PereiraAiming at demonstrating a decrease of acquired immunity after chemotherapeutic cure, a group of mice was infected with 25 Schistosoma mansoni cercariae (LE strain). A part of these animals was treated with 400 mg/kg oxamniquine, at 120 days after infection. Challenge infections were carried out at 45, 90 and 170-day-intervals after treatment (185, 210 and 290 days after primoinfection, respectively). Recovery o...
