The biodiversity of the apifauna, encompassing over 20,000 described species, stands out as an essential component of global ecosystems. Brazil, as the second country with the largest number of cataloged bee species-approximately 2,000-plays a significant role in this diversity. Similarly, the country is notable for its wealth of eusocial wasp species, including 319 species from the Polis…
The interior of organisms constitute complex, crowded and dynamic environments with little semblance to the experiments conducted on isolated proteins. Data on the possible interactions that specific proteins can participate in within these crowded physiological environments is fundamental to understanding the multiple roles that are frequently played by proteins. High-resolution structur…
Studies of viral diversity, from their animal reservoirs, are essential for comprehensive surveillance regarding the identification and tracking of zoonoses. In this context, bats are recognized as the main reservoirs of several species of zoonotic viruses. Among these zoonotic pathogens, RNA viruses represent a heavy burden on human and animal health, as they are the etiological agents o…
Arboviruses are viruses that use hematophagous arthropod vectors to be disseminated. Often are present in urban and sylvatic cycles. The arboviruses of greatest interest in public health belong to families Togaviridae and Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus and Alphavirus. These viruses pose a serious public health problem in Brazil and in the world due to their potential to cause outbreaks an…
Hepatitis C is a liver inflammation caused by Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), a positive single stranded RNA virus belonging to Flaviviridae family. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 185 million people are infected by HCV, with 350 thousand deaths related to this disease around world. In Brazil, the number is around 1.4 and 1.7 million people infected. There is no v…

Arboviruses are viruses transmitted by hematophagous arthropods (mosquitoes and ticks), and are kept circulating in urban and wild cycles, and currently represent a public health problem in several countries. The emergence and reemergence of arboviruses are natural phenomena related to the evolution and adaptation of these viruses. Brazil, having large areas covered by tropical forests, h…

Arboviruses are diseases caused by a group of virus (arbovirus) which has hematophagous arthropods as transmission vectors. These diseases present high economic and social impact, representing a serious public health problem. Chikungunya Virus (CHIKV) is an arbovirus which belongs to the family Togaviridae and is grouped within the genus Alphavirus. To date, no licensed anti-CHIKV therapy…
The arboviruses of greatest interest in public health belong to families and Togaviridae, Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus and Alphavirus. These viruses pose a serious public health problem in Brazil and in the world due to their potential to cause outbreaks and for being responsible for high rates of morbidity and mortality. This situation requires studies to identify these viruses inverte…

Dengue is a viral disease that poses an increasing threat to global public health, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Caused by the dengue virus (DENV) and transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, the infection affects millions of people annually. Despite advancements such as the development of the Dengvaxia vaccine, its efficacy remains limited, especially in preventing severe cas…
Hepatitis C is the liver inflammation caused by the infection of Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive single stranded RNA virus from the Flaviviridae family. The high replication rate, associated to the lack of proof-reading activity of the viral polymerase NS5B, leads to high mutation rate in the viral genome. As a result, the virus is classified into 7 different genotypes. In Brazil, gen…
Hepatitis C is an infection caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV). This infection frequently evolves to a chronic condition, however, the mechanisms involved in the outcome of HCV infection are not completely understood. The current treatment for HCV, based on direct acting antiviral (DAA) agents is highly effective but expensive and it is also not clear if DAA-induced HCV cure, after decades…
