Importation and early local transmission of COVID-19 in Brazil, 2020
Jesus, Jaqueline Goes de; Sacchi, Claudio; Candido, Darlan da Silva; Claro, Ingra Morales; Sales, Flávia Cristina Silva; Manuli, Erika ReginaWe conducted the genome sequencing and analysis of the first confirmed COVID-19 infections in Brazil. Rapid sequencing coupled with phylogenetic analyses in the context of travel history corroborate multiple independent importations from Italy and local spread during the initial stage of COVID-19 transmission in Brazil.
Potential effect of Zika virus infection on human male fertility?
Avelino-Silva, Vivian Iida; Alvarenga, Conrado; Abreu, Carolina; Tozetto-Mendoza, Tania Regina; Canto, Cynthia Liliane Motta do; Manuli, Erika ReginaBackground: Zika virus (ZIKV) sexual transmission and prolonged viral shedding in semen have been previously reported, suggesting a strong viral affinity for genital tissues. A transient impact of ZIKV on male fertility was shown in animal and human studies.

Okay, Thelma Suely; Yamamoto, Lidia; Oliveira, Léa Campos; Manuli, Erika Regina; Andrade Junior, Heitor Franco de; Del Negro, Gilda Maria BarbaroINTRODUCTION: Performance variation among PCR systems in detecting Toxoplasma gondii has been extensively reported and associated with target genes, primer composition, amplification parameters, treatment during pregnancy, host genetic susceptibility and genotypes of different parasites according to geographical characteristics. PATIENTS: A total of 467 amniotic fluid samples from T. gondii IgM- and IgG-positiv...
