Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). Instituto de Biologia (IB) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
He holds a Masters degree (2000) and a Ph.D. (2007) in Parasitic Biology from the Oswaldo Cruz Institute (IOC/Fiocruz), a CAPES grade 7 graduate program, with a doctoral internship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, Atlanta, USA, 20032005). He completed two international postdoctoral fellowships, at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, Paris, France, 2009) and at the University of Kansas (Lawrence, USA, 2011).bHe was a Young Investigator (FAPESP) at UNICAMP, where he coordinated several projects, including a scientific cooperation agreement with CNRS (20172020). He also served as Visiting Professor at the Institute of Biology (UFBA) and was awarded a CNPq Research Productivity Fellowship (PQ-2, 20202023). Currently, he is a Visiting Professor at the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ) and a collaborator at the National and International Reference Laboratory in Triatomine Taxonomy (IOC/Fiocruz). His research focuses on population genetics, phylogeny, systematics, ecological niche modeling, and morphometrics applied to medical entomology and molecular eco-epidemiology, with emphasis on vectors of Chagas disease. He has also served on the Graduate Program in Ecology and Environmental Monitoring (UFPB, 20142016) and the Internationalization Committee of the Graduate Program in Evolutionary Biology (UFBA, 20212023).

On the Brazilian side, Dr. Carlos Eduardo ALMEIDA was recently awarded by The São Paulo Research Foundation-FAPESP (Process number 16/08176-9) to the "Young Investigator Award Program" being allocated in The Institute of Biology of The University of Campinas (IB/UNICAMP); and on the French side there is Pr. Myriam HARRY allocated in the Evolution, Genome, Comportment, Ecologie (UMR EGCE, …
In semi-arid areas of Brazil, Triatoma brasiliensis is the most important Chagas disease vector, with potential to elucidate aspects of other elements of eco-epidemiologic chain. Therefore, we will use an integrative method applied to T. brasiliensis specimens collected in sites with records of high domiciliary infestation pressure and chagasic outbreaks in the State of Rio Grande do Nort…
In the past, the Brazilian northeastern semi-arid region presented hyperendemic foci of vector transmission of Chagas disease. However, the epidemiological scenario has been changing throughout Brazil with the emergence of oral transmissions. A Chagas disease outbreak was officially reported earlier this year and cases were distributed across four municipalities in Rio Grande do Norte sta…
In the semi-arid zones of Brazil, Triatoma brasiliensis is the most important vector of Chagas' disease. This triatomine is involved in a complex eco-epidemiological net because it occupies different environments, such as wild, peri-domiciliary and domiciliary. Before the advent of new generation sequencing, the molecular techniques available to access the ecological associations of triat…

Chagas disease is caused by the flagellate protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, and is transmitted to humans mainly byblood-sucking bugs (subfamily Triatominae). There is no cure for the acute phase of this disease, and vector transmission is the main mode of infection in Brazil, so most remediation efforts focus on interrupting natural vectorial transmission by controlling domiciliated…
