Emerging and/or re-emerging arboviruses represent a growing threat to global Public Health, including Brazil, which in turn has this problem aggravated due to its tropical climate conducive to the proliferation of these vectors. To anticipate outbreaks and epidemics caused by these viruses, it is essential to understand their genomic patterns that determine virus-host specificity. This pr…
Yellow Fever is an infectious disease caused by an arbovirus of the Flaviviridae family, manifesting itself in both sylvatic and urban transmission cycles. From the 2000s onwards, the return of the disease outside the Amazon region and the possibility of a new expansion of areas of viral circulation, denoted how the reemergence and/or emergence of arboviruses represent a growing threat to…
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…
