Introduction: The Mayaro virus (MAYV) is an arbovirus belonging to the Togaviridae family of the alphavirus genus, which is transmitted by hematophagous arthropods to vertebrate hosts, whereas non-human primates are considered primary reservoirs. Objective: To evaluate the expression of messenger RNAs (mRNA) of crucial proteins in the microRNA pathway and inflammatory cytokines in human cells during infection b...
Objective: A study with a theoretical-experimental approach applied to the gene expression of DENV DNA forms in mammalian cells, compared to the presence of fragments originating from viral RNA described in the literature in arthropod cells, experimentally infected by DENV. Methodology: This is a bilateral study, of a theoretical-experimental nature, with a primary intervention basis, carried out in vitro, unde...
Dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika are diseases caused by viruses transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. In Brazil, the number of human infections is high, but few studies are performed in mosquito vectors. This study aimed to investigate the presence of Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses in Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus from the municipalities of Alto Alegre, Caxias, Codó, and São Mateus do Mar...
