Orletti,Maria P.S; Assone,Tatiane; Sarnaglia,Glenia Daros; Martins,Marina Lobato; Rosadas,Carolina; Casseb,Jorge; Taylor,GrahamABSTRACT Introduction: Brazil has a high number of HTLV-1/2 infections which are unequally distributed in the country. Most prevalence studies have focused on specific populations, such as blood donors and pregnant women. Some areas, for example the state of Bahia, have robust information about HTLV-1/2 infection, however there is no information available about this infection in the general population of Vitori...
Dengue infection in the nervous system: lessons learned for Zika and Chikungunya
Puccioni-Sohler,Marzia; Roveroni,Natalia; Rosadas,Carolina; Ferry,Fernando; Peralta,Jose Mauro; Tanuri,AmilcarABSTRACT Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya are emerging arboviruses and important causes of acute febrile disease in tropical areas. Although dengue does not represent a new condition, a geographic expansion over time has occurred with the appearance of severe neurological complications. Neglect has allowed the propagation of the vector (Aedes spp), which is also responsible for the transmission of other infections ...
Advances and new insights in the neuropathogenesis of dengue infection
Puccioni-Sohler,Marzia; Rosadas,CarolinaDengue virus (DENV) infects approximately 390 million persons every year in more than 100 countries. Reports of neurological complications are more frequently. The objective of this narrative review is to bring up the advances in the dengue neuropathogenesis. DENV can access the nervous system through blood-brain barrier disturbance mediated by cytokine. The blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier seems to be a...

Assim, o desenvolvimento de métodos alternativos para a prática do ensino se torna necessário. O presente trabalho visa a apresentar um jogo educacional desenvolvido para at...
