Doctoral candidate in Basic and Applied Immunology at the Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine - University of São Paulo, where he studies the immunity induced by vaccine formulations based on salivary proteins from Rhipicephalus microplus ticks. Graduated in Biological Sciences from the Federal University of Piauí, during this period, he developed research on Botany and Genetics. He has a Masters in Genetics and Breeding from the Federal University of Piauí, at the time, performed chromosomal analyzes using fluorochromes applied to pre-breeding. He has professional experience as a professor of Scientific Methodology in higher education, having taught at Faculdade Maranhense (FAM), Faculdade Evangélica do Piauí (FAEPI) and at the National Baptist Theological Seminary (SETEBAN).

In livestock, we can highlight the tick in cattle as one of the main problems affecting health and productivity. To control these parasites, acaricides are widely used which, in addition to directly killing ticks, also affect the environment and contaminate meat and milk. In this context, vaccines to combat infestation by ticks emerged, however, limitations and variations in effectiveness…
Vaccines prime barriers of the immune system to hinder progress of infection to disease. However, traditional strategies have not been successful against certain pathogens. Regarding the control of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus, an ectoparasite with multiple mechanisms of parasitism based on highly varied antigens that evade its hosts' defenses, so far, no vaccine has achieved a…
