Marielton P. Cunha is a PhD Professor (MS-3.1 level) of Bioinformatics with an emphasis on Microbiology at the Department of Genetics, Evolution, Microbiology and Immunology at the Institute of Biology (IB) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP). Graduated in Biomedicine from the Federal University of Goiás (2012), Master in Parasite-Host Relationship Biology from the Federal University of Goiás (2015) and PhD in Bioinformatics from the University of São Paulo (2019). He developed his Post-Doctorate at the Institut Pasteur de São Paulo-IPSP (2020-2024). He was part of the GVN Rising Stars Mentorship Program (2023-2024), organized by the Global Viral Network (GVN), being mentored by Prof. Dr. Esteban Domingo. He has experience in the area of Bioinformatics with an emphasis on Virology, working mainly on the following topics: genomic sequencing, molecular evolution and viral metagenomics.

Dengue Fever is an infectious disease caused by an arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family and Orthoflavivirus genus, manifesting itself in sylvatic and urban transmission cycles, and which is called Orthoflavivirus denguei (DENV). In recent decades, the expansion of the disease across different continents and the presence of increasingly frequent outbreaks and epidemics indicate a growing t…
Oropouche virus (OROV) is a reemerging virus that poses a growing threat to public health in the Americas, with a possible global impact. In Brazil, the recent circulation of the virus particularly observed in 2023 to 2024 represents an increase in incidence of approximately 200-fold. This highlights the must to understand the basic characteristics associated with the maintenance of this …
Influenza is a disease caused by the Influenza virus, member of the Orthomyxoviridae family, which is classified into four different types (A, B, C, and D). The subtypes H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2 (which are variants of the Influenza A virus - IAV) were responsible for causing pandemics throughout the 20th century, in addition to a more recent one at the beginning of the 21st century (in 2009, …

We have established and validated innovative imaging technologies to visualize the dynamics of trypanosomal infection and pathology in vertebrate hosts or in vitro cellular infection processes. In this new stage we are proposing to study the dynamics of ZIKV infection with the use of quantitative bioluminescence and/or fluorescence images with spatial resolution of two- and three-dimensio…
Viruses transmitted by arthropods (arboviruses) are responsible for emerging and reemerging infectious diseases in different areas of the world, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Among these viruses, we could highlight those belonging to the Flaviviridae and Togaviridae families, which may cause clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic infection, acute febrile to di…
