First Molecular Identification of Fasciola gigantica in Slaughtered Cattle in C...
Levy, S; Calado, M; Mateus, TL; Vieira-Pinto, MA study on fasciolosis prevalence, gross pathological lesions, fluke genetic identification and coprological analysis was carried out in slaughtered cattle from one abattoir in Cape Verde. Of the 131 cattle inspected over two months, 12 (9.0%) presented fasciolosis-compatible lesions (FCL) that resulted in liver condemnation. The genetic characterization of the flukes collected, through restriction fragment len...
Coreceptor Usage by HIV-1 and HIV-2 Primary Isolates: The Relevance of CCR8 Che...
Calado, M; Matoso, P; Santos-Costa, Q; Espirito-Santo, M; Machado, J; Rosado, L; Antunes, K; Mansinho, K; Lopes, MM; Maltez, F; Santos-Ferreira, MOThe human immunodeficiency virus replication cycle begins by sequential interactions between viral envelope glycoproteins with CD4 molecule and a member of the seven-transmembrane, G-protein-coupled, receptors' family (coreceptor). In this report we focused on the contribution of CCR8 as alternative coreceptor for HIV-1 and HIV-2 isolates. We found that this coreceptor was efficiently used not only by HIV-2 but...
