The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is among the arboviruses with the highest autochthonous circulation in Brazil, alongside other arboviruses like Dengue (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV). Globally, CHIKV epidemics have displayed a cyclical pattern characterized by remote outbreaks interspersed with periods of epidemiological silence, varying from years to decades. According to current surveys cond…
COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2), an emerging beta coronavirus that continues to pose a threat to human health, has led to a dramatic global crisis and presents unprecedented challenges in the daily lives of everyone, social aspects, political matters, and health measures. The most common modes of SARS-CoV-2 transmission include di…
The Zika virus (ZIKV) is an arbovirus primarily transmitted through the bite of mosquitoes from the Aedes genus, such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. It was first identified in monkeys in the Zika Forest in Uganda in 1947 and was subsequently found in humans in several countries in Africa and Asia. However, it gained worldwide attention due to its rapid spread in the Americas start…
The Chikungunya virus is a small, enveloped virus, approximately 70 nm in diameter and its genome is approximately 11,800 nucleotides, constituents of a single-stranded RNA of positive polarity, with a 5'-methyl-7-methylguanosine cap and a tail of 32-poly-A. The genome contains two open reading frames (ORFs) separated by a non-coding emotion. Four non-essential proteins (nsP1, 2, 3 and 4)…

Persisting human pandemics, emerging and re-emerging viruses, and evolution of drug-resistant strains impose continuous search for new antiviral drugs. Zika and Dengue infections are important diseases in the world and its incidence is increasing. Those epidemics impose high costs to health services, to families and to the economic systems of affected countries, including Brazil. Peptides…
