Vaccination is the touchstone of public health policies. The history of vaccination shows that vaccines have been empirically developed; therefore, many studies are still needed for the continuous development of this biological product. The effectiveness of vaccines is evaluated through the reduction of the infection or illness among vaccinated individuals, and it is influenced by many fa…
With the rapid dissemination of Zika virus (ZIKV) in the Tropical world and its entry in Brazil, a rapid strategy with interaction of different scientific areas is necessary in order to understand better the infection pathogenesis. A significant number of studies performed in Brazil are destined towards understanding ZIKV biology; nevertheless, specific efforts are necessary for the devel…
The transmission of infectious diseases by the transfusion of contaminated blood components has constantly decreased due to great advancements in molecular methods for diagnostic investigation. The Nucleic Acid Technologies (NAT) for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been recommended by the Brazilian law since 2002 (Ordinance n° 262/2002 of Min…
Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a disease in which a point mutation in the beta-globin chain (HbB) gene, type A - T, leads to the synthesis of "S" globins and formation of hemoglobins (HbS) that polymerize within the red blood cells, changing their biconcave structure making them sickle. These cells present greater dehydration and endothelial adhesion, in addition to a high degree of hemolysi…
The hematopoietic niche is a highly dynamic, orchestrated and heterogeneous microenvironment for the cell types that make up. This microenvironment acts on the regulation of the hematopoietic system, which is the controller of the production of all the blood cells of the organism in homeostasis or stress. Among the cell types that make up the niche, there are Multipotent Mesenchymal Strom…
Red blood cell alloimmunization in sickle cell disease (SCD) affects more than 30% of individuals in transfusion therapy. It is the main complication related to blood transfusion in SCD and may be related to the antigenic disparity between donors and patients or with a deficiency in the control of the cellular immune response. The prophylaxis adopted to prevent alloimmunization is to supp…
It has been estimated that worldwide more than 20 million people are infected by HTLV-1. In Brazil, there are approximately 2.5 million carriers of this virus, which places the country on the first position regarding the absolute number of infected individuals. HTLV-1 is associated with two main clinical diseases: i) adult T-cell (ATLL) leukemia / lymphoma; and ii) progressive myelopathy …

Human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) was the first human retrovirus to be discovered. Approximately, 10 - 20 million people are infected with HTLV-1 worldwide, and in Brazil, there are about 2.5 million HTLV-1-carriers. The main HTLV-1-associated diseases are the HTLV-1 associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and the adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL). Cu…
