The severe acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19 caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is an emerging and highly contagious disease, with which the world is experiencing a pandemic from the end of 2019 to the present day, which has led several countries to bankruptcy public health service, and soon Brazil will reach this situation. Today (13/04/2020) there are already at least 22300 people i…
Neglected diseases are responsible for epidemics with countless deaths each year in many countries, especially in developing countries. Most neglected diseases are transmitted by hematophagous vectors. Over the last decades, our group has been working on the prospection of active molecules produced by hematophagous arthropods, vectors of diseases. In the last project, our group evaluated …
The goal of this application is to initiate collaborative research between the laboratory of Albert Mulenga and Aparecida Tanaka to the advance exchange of ideas and student training between the two laboratories. The TAMU and São Paulo principal investigators work on complementary research lines, to develop transmission blocking vacines to prevent transmission of vector borne disease agen…
The knowledge of the diversity of molecules produced by disease vectors in response to their etiologic agents is an important strategy to identify important targets in these vectors physiology, which could be used in rational design of drugs and pesticides. In attempt to contribute in this research field, this project has as general objective understand the role of protease inhibitors, pr…

Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is a tick species present in Brazil and well known to parasite cattle. High levels of parasitism can seriously affect the animals, resulting in reduced milk and meat production and causing substantial economic losses to the livestock. In addition, this species can transmit different etiologic agents to cattle, including those that cause babesiosis and a…
Aedes aegypti females are the main vectors responsible for the transmission of causative agents of Dengue, Yellow Fever, Chikungunya and Zika due to their blood-sucking habits. When mosquitoes ingest infected blood, an immune response begins, and the pathogen induces changes in their protein expressions. However, little is known about which molecules are produced or modulated in Ae. aegyp…

The present propose is included in the thematic project with the following aim: study of the physiological role of proteases and their inhibitors identified in ectoparasites that concern public health and livestock production. Among these vectors, we have been studied: the tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, responsible for the transmission of Babesia bovis protozoa and Anaplasma ma…
The tick R. microplus is consider a parasite of great veterinary importance in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, being responsible for big losses in the production of leather, milk and meat, besides it acts as vector of Babesia sp and Anaplasma sp, which compromise even more the cattle. Until now the tick control has been done by using acaricides, however its improper use…

The Rhicepicephalus microplus tick is the major bovine ectoparasite in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world and is responsible for several losses in the livestock production. Moreover the tick acts as vector for two bovine pathogens the protozoan Babesia and the bacteria Anaplasma, which can cause further cattle damage. Although the R. microplus-Babesia is considered one of …
