This project aims to establish a Colombia-Brazil collaboration network around the theme of the study of hemoparasites in herpetofauna, a diversified group recognized in both countries. Given the environmental conditions of the Colombian and Brazilian territories and the biodiversity of amphibians and reptiles that they shelter, we hope to discover a wide variety of molecular lineages, whi…

Thus, the technical units will begin to incorporate new functionalities for technical - sacrifice development and it will compose the Technol…
SUCEN is a research institution which main scope is the study of phenomena linked to epidemiology and the natural history of the transmission of disease-causing pathogens to humans, by vector arthropods and intermediate hosts.Thus, the requested equipment and accessories will be used to improve the institution's research service. The amount referring to the portion of institutional resear…
In Brazil, 99.7% of malaria cases occur in the Amazon Region, where Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium malariae are present. In the Extra-Amazon Region, malaria transmission prevails in Atlantic Forest areas. Autochthonous cases of this region, which are caused by P. vivax or P. malariae, have mostly low parasitemia and asymptomatic presentation. It is supposed that ma…
Plasmodium spp. (Apicomplexa: Haemosporida) is a protozoan of cosmopolitan distribution. Currently, 38 species of Plasmodium are officially recognized in birds. The birds have a prominent place in studies of this parasite, because for many years were used as experimental models in studies of human malaria, enabling a better understanding of the cycle of this parasite and the study of anti…

Studying avian malaria in the São Paulo Zoo in birds of 17 different orders we showed high positivity of Plasmodium and Haemoproteus among captive, free - living, migrant, endemic or exotic birds. We identified these parasites in 27% of the species of birds analyzed and established their barcoding for the new species of Plasmodium and Haemoproteus characterized. To identify their vectors …
