Emerging and reemerging diseases are a public health concern in Brazil and, due to several factors, have a great impact on the Amazon region. This region is characterized by great biodiversity and it is largely populated by a socially vulnerable population. In addition, it has been suffering from recent anthropological activities that promote environmental degradation. In fact, official d…
The arrival of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil in March 2020 negatively impacted the economy, generated panic in the population and disrupted our country's public and private health systems. It is evident that there is a need for rapid diagnostic / prognostic methods and therapeutic alternatives to deal with this pandemic in our country. Thus, this multidisciplinary project, which involves researche…
Emerging viruses are agents associated with a new or a previous low-prevalent disease in a specific geographic region that significantly increased their incidence that area. Among the emerging viruses in Brazil is possible to highlight: Zika (ZIKV), Oropouche (OROV), Chikungunya (CHIKV), Mayaro (MAYV) and probably La Crosse (LACV), Iquitos virus (IQTV), Japanese Encephalitis (JEV), Saint …
Despite international appeals regarding the importance of biodiversity and the maintenance of the Amazon ecosystem, our country has faced a weakening of public policies to combat deforestation in the Amazon, with an increase in the deforested area in recent years. In this postdoctoral project, we intend to contribute to the understanding of how deforestation activities (including road con…
The Oropouche virus (OROV) is a neglected arbovirus endemic to Latin America and the Caribbean, causing Oropouche fever, an exanthematous febrile illness that can progress to neurological conditions. From December 2023 to the present, there has been a substantial increase in the number of cases of Oropouche Fever in Brazil and other South American countries, as well as the geographical ex…

Oropouche Orthobunyavirus (OROV) is an arbovirus associated with cases of febrile illness in the Amazon region. A high genetic diversity between orthobunyaviruses generated by genetic rearrangement or mutations makes the development of compounds with directly antiviral activity challenging, thus, host-targeted drugs looks a good alternative to develop antivirals against these pathogens. O…
Emerging viruses can cause great impacts on a susceptible population. A example of this are virus transmitted by arthropods which are widely spread in wild and urban areas, such as Oropouche Vírus (OROV). This is an emergent arbovirus that can be transmitted in urban environmental by the bite of Culicoides paraensis, a hematophagous fly that circulates in the North and Northeast of Brazil…
The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging arbovirus present in tropical and subtropical regions transmitted by the arthropod vector A. aegypti. Although CHIKV infection may be asymptomatic, it usually leads to the development of an acute febrile illness, joint pain and swelling. One of the major complications associated with CHIKV are chronic manifestations such as arthralgia and arthr…

Oropouche orthobunyavirus (OROV) is an emerging arbovirus that causes an exanthematous fever disease associated with neurological complications in some infected patients in the Amazon region from South American countries. Golden hamsters, newborns, and IRF5-/- infected animals are vulnerable and usually die from meningoencephalitis. Thus, since it has been shown that OROV can cross the bl…
The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is an emerging arbovirus present in tropical and subtropical regions. One of the major complications associated with CHIKV infection are chronic manifestations such as arthralgia and arthritis. The chronic disease resulting from CHIKV infection has similar characteristics to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in which dendritic cells (DCs) are implicated in the pathog…
The Oropouche virus (OROV) is an arbovirus with potential to cause epidemics in the most populated regions of Brazil. Individuals infected with OROV develop a febrile illness, which can progress to neurological and hemorrhagic complications. Furthermore, an increased incidence of abortion was reported during major OROV epidemics. However, the pathogenetic mechanisms associated with the he…
