Extensive research has examined why some people have repeated Plasmodium falciparum malaria attacks in Sub-Saharan Africa while others remain free of disease most of the time. In contrast, malaria risk heterogeneity remains little studied in regions where P. vivax is the dominant species. Are repeatedly infected people in vivax malaria settings such as the Amazon just unlucky? Here we aim…
Activated peroxisome proliferation receptors (PPARs) make up a subfamily of nuclear receptors. Three isoforms, encoded by separate genes, were identified so far: PPAR±, PPAR² and PPAR³. These receptors, which act as transcription factors, exhibit different functions and distributions in tissues. To date, it has been known that the genes regulated by PPARs participate mainly in the regulat…
With 143,910 laboratory-confirmed cases and 41 malaria-related deaths in 2014, Brazil has now the lowest malaria burden in 35 years, with transmission virtually limited to the Amazon Basin. Accordingly, the Ministry of Health of Brazil has launched, in November 2015, the Malaria Elimination Plan, with the short-term goal of interrupting Plasmodium falciparum transmission countrywide over …
The work plan for Frederic Triplet is based on the project that I am developing regarding the process of stylization between aedes aegyptis and aides albopictus. By august/2016 the lab will have made all experiments on RNA-seq from intra and inter crossings (aedes aegypti x aedes albopictus) to characterize the neural response on the interaction between these two species. The experiments …

Arboviruses are viruses characterized by their transmission through hematophagous arthropods, in which viral multiplication occurs. Its transmission cycle develops between invertebrates and vertebrates as amplifying hosts. These pathogens are responsible for infectious diseases named arboviruses, a prominent target in monitoring Brazilian public health. An important factor that causes the…
Arboviruses are infectious pathologies caused by arboviruses, which are characterized by multiplying in the tissues of invertebrates - hematophagous arthropods - and are transmitted by the bite of these invertebrates to a vertebrate host. The three arboviruses of major epidemiological importance are dengue, zika and chikungunya fever, all have in commom the main vector, the mosquito Aedes…
Activated peroxisome proliferation receptors (PPARs) make up a subfamily ofnuclear receptors. Three isoforms, encoded by separate genes, were identified sofar: PPARa, PPARb and PPARg. These receptors, which act as transcription factors,exhibit different functions and distributions in tissues. To date, it has been knownthat the genes regulated by PPARs participate mainly in the regulation …

Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor alpha (PPAR±) was shown as a possible candidate gene to contribute to the genetically determined risk of Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL). In a case-control study conducted by our group in the VL endemic area of Teresina-PI-Brazil, genotypes containing the mutated 162V allele were significantly more frequent among individuals with VL than among all un…
Malaria represents an important insect-borne disease with an estimated incidence of 216 million cases occurred worldwide and 445 000 deaths globally in 2016. Several factors contribute to the severity and worsening of this illness, among which the emergence of drug-resistant parasites and insecticide-resistant mosquitoes strains. Therefore, an alternative method to control malaria and oth…
Malaria is the most important global human parasite. This disease disproportionately affects mostly poor human populations in tropical and subtropical areas, where more than two billion people are at risk of becoming infected. In Brazil, the Amazon region is the most important endemic area for the disease, which accounts for up to 95% of malaria cases. The transmission cycle consists of P…
