This highly interdisciplinary, transnational team has three main goals:FIRST, we intend to investigate the effect of increasing temperatures, temperature variability and shift in precipitation patterns dueto climate change on the dynamics of snail-born schistosomiasis, a debilitating parasitic disease of poverty affecting more than 200 million people worldwide. We will focus on Brazil and…
The project provides for the evaluation of the impact of the Yellow Fever virus on howler populations in two conservation units in the state of São Paulo. Thus, density assessment methods will be performed in different areas to evaluate the remaining populations. Blood samples from animals will be collected, as will mosquitoes from the areas. The serum of the primates will be submitted to…
Recently Brazil has been affected by unexpected arbovirus epidemics of Zika, Chikungunya, dengue and Yellow fever viruses. The huge economic burden of Zika (R$ 1 billion) and the widespread presence of mosquito vectors in Brazil highlights the need for accurate predictions of disease spread, particularly in large, densely populated regions. This UK-Brazil Partnership will enhance and expa…

Spotted fever is an important disease caused by the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii. Annually, this diseases is diagnosed throughout the American continent, where Brazil takes place with important endemic areas where lethality of the disease reaches 40% of the cases. R. rickettsii is a tick-borne-disease transmitted by Dermacentor, Rhipicephalus, and Amblyomma tick genus. The vector tick s…
The objective is to produce innovative cartographies to represent, in an integrated manner, elements of the natural landscape and the social landscape for an area of active transmission of schistosomiasis, considering a cut involving municipalities in the microregion of Ourinhos, SP. The project involves the use of orbital sensing data, in particular optical sensor images from satellite E…
Brazilian Spotted Fever (FMB) is a vector-borne zoonosis that is caused by bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii. In the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP) the vector incriminated in the transmission is the Amblyomma aureolatum tick, which depends on typical characteristics of the Atlantic Forest biome to survive. Domestic dogs are the main hosts of the adult tick stage in urban matrix area…
Brazilian Spotted Fever is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii and transmitted by ticks. In São Paulo city metropolitan area, the incriminated vector in the transmission is Amblyomma aureolatum, and domestic dogs assist in the maintenance of the disease cycle in rural areas and areas near forest. This study intends to evaluate the epidemiological aspects of Brazili…
Ticks are known as important vector of a great number of infectious agents. The fauna of ticks in Brazil is composed for 54 species, but only the Brazilian Spotted Fever and the Atlantic Spotted Fever are know as zoonosis transmitted by ticks throughout the country. The Brazilian Spotted Fever is severe disease to human being and is caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii which is t…

Brazilian Spotted Fever (BSF) is a vector-borne zoonosis that has the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii as pathogenic agent. In the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR), the vector responsible for the transmission is the tick Amblyomma aureolatum, which depends on typical environmental characteristics of the Atlantic Forest biome to survive (temperature and humidity). As known, spatial ecolo…
