Serological evaluation of Neospora caninum in pregnant women treated at referra...
Duarte,Pâmella Oliveira; Csordas,Bárbara Guimarães; Oshiro,Leandra Marla; Higa,Leandro de Oliveira Souza; Zimmermann,Namor PinheiroAbstract Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular protozoan with canids (Canis domesticus, Canis lupus dingo, Canis latrans, Canis lupus) as its definitive hosts. The objective of this study was to detect anti-N. caninum antibodies in pregnant women seen at referral center for prenatal screening in the state of state Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A total of 188 serum samples from pregnant women provided by t...
Amblyomma scalpturatum Neumann, 1906 (Acari: Ixodidae): confirmation in Acre St...
Aguirre,André de Abreu Rangel; Rodrigues,Vinícius da Silva; Costa,Ivaneide Nunes da; Garcia,Marcos Valério; Csordas,Bárbara Guimarães; Andreotti,RenatoAbstract Amblyomma scalpturatum is a tick species that is unique to South America. It is commonly associated with the Amazon biome and has been reported in some Brazilian states. This tick species exhibits host specificity: it parasitizes tapirs and suidae. Its role in transmitting pathogens to humans is still unknown. Amblyomma scalpturatum is known to be a human-biting tick; however, there is only one report ...
Analysis of Bm86 conserved epitopes: is a global vaccine against Cattle Tick Rh...
Blecha,Isabella Maiumi Zaidan; Csordas,Bárbara Guimarães; Aguirre,André de Abreu Rangel; Cunha,Rodrigo Casquero; Garcia,Marcos Valério; Andreotti,RenatoAbstract The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus causes significant economic losses in agribusiness. Control of this tick is achieved mainly through the application of chemical acaricides, often resulting in contamination of animal food products and of the environment. Another major concern associated with acaricide use is the increasing reports of resistance of this tick vector against the active ingredients o...
New insights from molecular characterization of the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophil...
Csordas,Bárbara Guimarães; Garcia,Marcos Valério; Cunha,Rodrigo Casquero; Giachetto,Poliana Fernanda; Blecha,Isabella Maiumi Zaidan; Andreotti,RenatoAbstract The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus complex currently consists of five taxa, namely R. australis, R. annulatus, R. (B.) microplus clade A sensu, R. microplus clade B sensu, and R. (B.) microplus clade C sensu. Mitochondrial DNA-based methods help taxonomists when they are facing the morpho-taxonomic problem of distinguishing members of the R. (B.) microplus complex. The purpose of this study was to...
Geographical distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi in triatomine vectors in the Sta...
Cominetti,Marlon Cezar; Csordas,Bárbara Guimarães; Cunha,Rodrigo Casquero; Andreotti,RenatoIntroduction This work presents the initial findings of a molecular epidemiological investigation of Trypanosoma cruzi in triatomine insects in State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Methods A total of 511 triatomines from different regions of the state were examined. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from the intestinal contents of the insects using phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1). Polymerase chain r...
