Abstract

Os processos infecciosos causados pelos vírus ZIKV, SARS-COV-2 e pelo parasita Trypanosoma vivax serão analisados no curso destas infecções em modelos experimentais, in vivo e in vitro. Os mecanismos de comprometimento do SNC serão avaliados usando modelos 2D e 3D. Técnicas moleculares, celulares e/ou imunológicas serão utilizadas, assim como o uso de imaginologia quando necessário.
