Vector-borne diseases are causes of morbidity and mortality globally, with clustered transmission being an important challenge in elimination efforts. Co-endemicity and co-infections from Malaria, Chagas Disease, and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis are suspected mechanisms that likely contribute to the persistent hidden transmission burden from vector-borne diseases in the Brazilian Amazon. Our p…
Malaria is the most prevalent vector-borne parasitic disease in the Americas, and Brazil has the highest regional malaria incidence. The most aggressive and effective Neotropical malaria vector, particularly in the Amazon Basin, is Anopheles darlingi. This species' impact is facilitated by its rapid exploitation of the novel environments provided by whole ecosystem alteration via factors …
INTRODUCTION: Female anopheline mosquitoes can be naturally infected by one or more species of Plasmodium and, through their bite, transmit this parasite, which results in malaria in humans. The transmission dynamics depend on several factors, including the vector species, and therefore differ from region to region. Landscapes impacted by deforestation and collections of shaded, low-flow,…
Remote sensing data are important for deforestation estimates and environmental monitoring of the Amazon rainforest. In a previous project, we used data from LANDSAT, SENTINEL and CBERS satellite images to produce an analytical protocol for measuring land use and occupation in rural settlements in the Brazilian Amazon. We have shown in published articles from my Scientific Initiation and …
Malaria in Atlantic Forest is hypoendemic and, assuming that erradication of this disease is a challenge, its low endemic status is desirable in the point-of-view of public health. However, recent evidence (e.g., asymptomatic infections) show that the low number of autochthonous cases represent tip of the iceberg. Understanding the effects of landscape and biodiversity is important to hel…
Introduction - Complex interactions are present between biodiversity of mosquitoes (Diptera, Culicidae) and the dynamics of vector-borne arboviruses and malaria-parasites, which are infectious agents that can cause diseases in humans and other animals. Objectives - to apply habitat-suitability modelling for arboviral and malarial mosquito vectors in Vale do Ribeira, southeastern São Paulo…
