Leishmaniases compose a zoonosis group caused by Leishmania genus. They affect skin, mucous, membranes and/or viscera of man, domestic and wild animals. They constitute a serious public health problem worldwide, with approximately 350-million individuals worldwide exposed to the disease. In relation to visceral leishmaniasis (VL), infected individuals have long febrile periods, weight los…
Toxoplasmosis is one of the most widespread zoonoses in the world and, in some regions, 40%-70% of the population are positive for toxoplasmosis in serological tests. Around 2 billion people in the world may be infected with Toxoplasma gondii. Diagnosis can be established by the detection of anti-T. gondii antibodies; and parasite DNA by PCR in tissues/body fluids or parasite visualizatio…
The aim of this project will be the study of the AIDS-toxoplasmosis co-infection, which is the most prevalent opportunistic neurological disease in Brazil. Particularity, we will study some parasite-host relationship patterns. A part of the investigations will be devoted to the study of cytokine gene expression in patients with AIDS- cerebral toxoplasmosis co-infection. The studies will b…

Leishmaniases are a group of zoonosis caused by protozoa of Leishmania genus with great complexity in biological characteristics. Leishmaniases constitute a serious health public problem worldwide and are widely distributed in all regions of Brazil. In the last years, the cutaneous infection was considered one of most dermatological syndromes diagnosed in travelers that going to endemic a…
