Outbreaks of arboviruses such as Zika e Dengue in the Americas have led to a state of international public emergency. The viruses are transmitted by the same vector mosquito (Aedes aegypti), have co-circulated throughout the world, and trigger common clinical features. Despite the global health problems caused by these etiological agents, there is a scarce knowledge about the systemic imm…
The current pandemic of the Coronavirus respiratory disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a state of international public emergency. The virus causing the disease is called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and has been circulating throughout the world, triggering clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic cases to severe acute respiratory syndrome and death…
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has left many psychopathological implications in COVID-19 survivors, such as depression, anxiety and cognitive impairments, which are now recognized as primary symptoms of "post-acute COVID-19 syndrome"11 . Depressive psychopathology has already been reported in about 35% of patients in short, medium and long-term follow-up after infection …
Viruses are estimated to cause between 15% and 20% of all reported cancer cases. There areseven known human oncoviruses: Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), HumanPapillomavirus (HPV), Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 (HTLV-1), Hepatitis C Virus(HCV ), Human Herpesvirus 8 (KSHV) and Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCV). These virusescan lead to uncontrolled cell growth and the d…

Viral infections affecting the Central Nervous System (CNS) represent an emergent cause of illness and mortality in Brazil and worldwide. The emergence, re-emergence, and dysfunctions associated with neuroglial infections by viruses with neurotropic properties, such as ZIKV and DENV flaviviruses, SARS-CoV-2 and Rabies Virus (RABV), justify the need to understand the commonality and differ…
Notably, anti-cytokine autoantibodies have been linked to the development of opportunistic infections. Among them, anti-IFN-gamma neutralizing autoantibodies can increase the susceptibility to mycobacterial infections, while anti-IFN-alpha are associated with the development of viral infections (e.g., chickenpox, cytomegalovirus, and adenovirus) and cancer. However, the concentration of a…
Dengue outbreaks in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, represents a state of international public emergency. In 2019, more than 3 million people were affected by the disease in the Americas, with about 30 million reported deaths. Despite the seriousness of this public health problem, there are no specific therapies that effectively combat Dengue an…

The immune system plays an important role in the homeostatic control of the body. For this fundamental function, the system is activated in response to external or internal injuries. Therefore, the activation mechanisms of the immune system are important and desirable but must be finely controlled to avoid immunopathology. Several evolutionary conserved immunoregulatory mechanisms such as…
Dengue disease is a global health problem that affects approximately 390 million people per year, in over 120 countries but no specific therapy or vaccine is currently available to effectively combat dengue virus (DENV) infection. While most of the individuals infected by DENV are asymptomatic or present uncomplicated symptoms, 5-20% of the patients develop severe dengue (SD) in several d…
