Camila M Romano is graduated in Biological Sciences at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie (1999). Obtained her Master in Parasitology (2004) and phD in Microbiology (2009) at Universidade de São Paulo. She is currently a Scientific Researcher VI in the Laboratory of Medical Investigation from Hospital das Clinicas FMUSP (Virology, LIM52) and in the Tropical Medicine Institute. Dr Romano has experience in molecular biology tools, viral sequence analysis and virus phylogenetics. She is interested on the processes of evolution and spread of RNA viruses. She has published more then 65 articles in this field and currently develops projects with arboviruses and endogenous retroviruses. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

The Amazon Biome presents great diversity, still under-explored, but which is seriously under threat. In 2021 there was an increase in deforestation compared to 2020. In addition to climate and conservation issues arising from the degradation of wild fauna and flora, there is an intricate relationship between deforestation and the occurrence of diseases, particularly infectious ones. The …
Four distinct dengue serotypes (DENV-1-4) are recognized, and Brazil is currently endemic for all. Infection by a serotype produces lasting immunity against reinfection by the same serotype, but cross-protection is temporary and partial, resulting in sequential infections. It occurs that heterotypic secondary infections appear to present a greater risk for signs of warning/severity. This …
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of unknown etiology, difficult to treat, extremely complex and affecting more than 2.5 million people worldwide. It has an inflammatory stage and is characterized by the progressive and degenerative character. Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) family W (HERV-W / MSRV - multiple sclerosis associated retrovirus) are super expressed in patients with MS, whe…
Here we report the complete polyprotein sequence of a Dengue 2 strain isolated in Brazil. This virus belong to the American genotype and has the ability to cause neurovirulence in immunocompetent adult mice. The data presented here may help to the understanding of the genetic determinants responsible for neurovirulence. (AU)

The Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is characterized by chronic debilitating fatigue, with no defined etiology and difficult diagnose. The disease compromises patients' ability to perform basic daily activities and is accompanied by other symptoms that intensify this disability, such as muscle pain, excessive sleepiness and cognitive problems. Since its discovery, much has been studied reg…
Polyomaviruses belong to the family Polyomaviridae. JCPyV and BKPyV were the first described capable of infecting humans, being discovered in 1971. From this, several other human poliomaviruses have been described as causing disease (such as Merkel Cell polyomavirus), but the vast majority are possible commensals. In the year 2014, the Saint Louis polyomavirus (STLPyV) was found in a stoo…
