Mathematical modelling using predictive biomarkers for the outcome of canine Le...
Gonçalves, Rafaela de Sousa; Alves de Pinho, Flaviane; Dinis-Oliveira, Ricardo Jorge; Azevedo, Rui; Gaifem, Joana; Farias Larangeira, DanielaPrediction parameters of possible outcomes of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) therapy might help with therapeutic decisions and animal health care. Here, we aimed to develop a diagnostic method with predictive value by analyzing two groups of dogs with CanL, those that exhibited a decrease in parasite load upon antiparasitic treatment (group: responders) and those that maintained high parasite load despite the trea...
Transfusion-transmitted malaria: case report of asymptomatic donor harboring Pl...
Scuracchio, Patricia; Vieira, Sergio Domingos; Dourado, Denise Albuquerque; Bueno, Luciana Moro; Colella, Rafael; Ramos-Sanchez, Eduardo MiltonMalaria in Brazil is endemic in the Amazon region, but autochthonous cases with low parasitaemia occur in the Atlantic Forest area of the country. According to Brazilian legislation no test is mandatory for blood donors from non-endemic areas. However if they have traveled to malaria transmission regions they are deferred for six months before they can donate. This report describes a transfusion-transmitted mal...
