Investigation of the occurrence of mansonella ozzardi in the state of rondônia,...

Mansonella ozzardi, a human filarial nematode transmitted by Diptera Simuliidae flies (black flies), is widely spread in the Amazon, while the occurrence of mansonelliasis in the State of Rondônia (Western Amazonia) has not been reported thus far. The existence of this parasitic disease in this state is investigated in this study. Methods: A total of 4,452 people who lived alongside the Madeira, Mamore, Guapore...

Improvement of a PCR test to diagnose infection by Mansonella ozzardi

Introduction: Mansonelliasis is caused by Mansonella ozzardi. It is widespread in the Amazon region, with a high prevalence. Te common exam of thick blood smears stained with Giemsa shows low efficacy levels and has been an obstacle to diagnosing individuals with low blood parasitemia. Methods: In order to increase diagnosis efcacy, the PCR technique was improved. Results and Conclusions: PCR demonstrated the b...

Phlebotomine sandfly (Diptera: Psychodidae) diversity and their leishmania DNA ...

In this study, we identified the phlebotomine sandfly vectors involved in the transmission of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) in Assis Brasil, Acre, Brazil, which is located on the Brazil-Peru-Bolivia frontier. The genotyping of Leishmania in phlebotomines was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. A total of 6,850 sandflies comprising 67 species...

Anti-Anopheles darlingi saliva antibodies as marker of Plasmodium vivax infecti...

Background. Despite governmental and private efforts on providing malaria control, this disease continues to be a major health threat. Thus, innovative strategies are needed to reduce disease burden. The malaria vectors, through the injection of saliva into the host skin, play important role on disease transmission and may influence malaria morbidity. This study describes the humoral immune response against Ano...

Survey of trypanosoma (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) infection in monte neg...

Introduction: Trypanosomes can infect humans and animals. This is the first record of the occurrence of Trypanosoma evansi in Rondônia. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 7 dogs and 22 humans. Furthermore, triatomines and tabanids were collected. Results: It was observed that 42.8% of the dogs tested positive for T. evansi and 14.3% presented mixed infection; 15% of the triatomines tested positive for f...
