Genetic Diversity of MSP1 Block 2 of Plasmodium vivax Isolates from Manaus (Central Brazilian Amazon)
The diversity of MSP1 in both Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax is presumed be associated to parasite immune evasion. In this study, we assessed genetic diversity of the most variable domain of vaccine candidate N-terminal PvMSP1 (Block 2) in field isolates of Manaus. Forty-seven blood samples the polymorphism of PvMSP1 Block 2 generates four fragment sizes. In twenty-eight of them, sequencing...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium vivax parasites from the western Brazilian Amazon
The molecular basis of Plasmodium vivax chloroquine (CQ) resistance is still unknown. Elucidating the molecular background of parasites that are sensitive or resistant to CQ will help to identify and monitor the spread of resistance. By genotyping a panel of molecular markers, we demonstrate a similar genetic variability between in vitro CQ-resistant and sensitive phenotypes of P. vivax parasit...
متن کامل[Aedes aegypti and associated fauna in the rural zone of Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon].
After detecting Aedes aegypti larvae in the rural zone of Manaus, entomological surveillance was carried out over two consecutive years in order to notify occurrences of this species in that area. The tool of entomological surveillance has an important role among the preventive measures against diseases transmitted by insects, particularly arbovirosis.
متن کاملEtiology of Genital Ulcer Disease in a Sexually Transmitted Infection Reference Center in Manaus, Brazilian Amazon
OBJECTIVES To determine the etiology and factors associated with genital ulcer disease (GUD) among patients presenting to a sexually transmitted infections clinic in Manaus, Brazil; and to compare a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (M-PCR) assay for the diagnosis of GUD with standard methods. METHODS Ulcer swabs were collected and used for Tzanck test and processed in an M-PCR to detect he...
متن کاملOcimum gratissimum, from Brazilian Amazon
Alfavaca, Ocimum gratissimum (Labiatae), ap pears to have been introduced by slaves from Afri ca by the Portuguese in the 16th or 17th century or it may be a geographical variety native to Brazil, its origin is still doubt. The shrub-like plant is cul tivated in the country-sides of the State of Para and sold in the “Ver-o-peso” market in Belem. It is utilized as a condiment in regional dish...
