Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Faculdade de Saúde Pública (FSP) (Institutional affiliation for the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
I am graduated in Biological Sciences at Federal University of Paraná (2009). A master's degree at USP's Institute of Biomedical Sciences with population genetics and geometric morphometrics of the species Anopheles cruzii and An. homunculus (2012). Currently is a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, USP, working with Neotropical mosquitoes. The main focus of the research is to unravel existing phylogenetic relationships within the Culicidae family. I had experience in evolutionary studies of mosquitoes using techniques such as Geometric morphometrics, Molecular Biology, MALDI-TOF spectrometry and Population Genetics. Also active in the field of Epidemiology, focusing mainly on extra-amazonian brazilian malaria, and Bioinformatics, dedicated to the assembly and annotation of mitochondrial genomes obtained by Next Generation Sequencing.

- Spatial analysis of microevolution in Aedes aegypti in an endemic dengue municipality of state of São Paulo, BP.IC
Abstract
Currently the Aedes aegypti mosquito is the most important urban vector of dengue, zika, chikungunya in Brazil and other tropical countries. The main measure to prevent these arboviruses remains the control of this vector. To better understand the population and seasonal dynamics of Ae. aegypti, and, consequently, to improve its control measures, we propose here to analyze the morpholog...
- Effect of climate fluctuations on infectious diseases in Brazil, BP.IC
Abstract
The climatic and ecological changes that have been taking place on the planet have influenced the spatial distribution of infectious diseases, also affecting the time and intensity of the outbreaks. There is a need for a comprehensive study showing how the distribution pattern of major infectious diseases has been changing in recent years. Thus, we propose here to evaluate the spatio-te...
- Identification of risk areas for arboviruses using traps for adults of Aedes Aegypti and Aedes albopictus and remote sensing images, BP.PD
Abstract
The current epidemiological scenario in Brazil is worrisome, as in recent years thousands cases of dengue, zika and chikungunya have been reported, in addition to the recent re-emergence of yellow fever. The Aedes aegypti mosquito plays a fundamental role in the dissemination of all these diseases. The role of its sister species, Aedes albopictus, is still little known in Brazil, but ma...
- Characterization of macroevolutionary patterns in Culicidae (Diptera) using geometric morphometrics, genetic sequencing and mass spectrometry, BP.DR
Abstract
Culicidae are popularly known as mosquitoes and comprise a monophyletic group within the order Diptera. They are distributed throughout tropical and temperate regions, and currently 3525 species are recognized. The traditional classification is based on morphological characters and despite their medical importance and long history of research, the taxonomy of the group remains incomplet...
- Using remote sensing for risk mapping of adult Aedes Aegypti infestation, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Mosquito-borne disease affects million people in the world, and its transmission area continues to expand due to many factors linked to urban sprawl, increased travel and global warming. The Aedes aegypti mosquito plays a central role in the dissemination of dengue, zika, chikungunya and urban yellow fever. Current preventative measures include mosquito control programs but unfortunatel...
- A mitochondrial genome phylogeny of Culicidae, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Recent studies have shown that the mitochondrial genome is one of the most useful indicators for resolving phylogenetic relationships in insects. In addition, the 37 genes inside it can be used for phylogenetic reconstruction, since it does not require very much computational time to run analyses and reach statistically reliable conclusions. Thus, the objective of this internship is to ...
