Paulo F P. Pimenta,Alessandra S Orfanó,Ana C. Bahia,Ana P. M. Duarte,Claudia María Ríos-Velásquez,Fabrício Freire de Melo,Felipe A C Pessoa,Giselle A Oliveira,Keillen M. M. Campos,Luis Eduardo Martinez Villegas,Nilton Barnabé Rodrigues,Rafael Nacif-Pimenta,Rejane de Castro Simões,Wuelton Marcelo Monteiro,Rogerio Amino,Yara M. Traub-Cseko,Jose G. B. Lima,Maria Gv Barbosa,Marcus Vg Lacerda,Wanderli Pedro Tadei,Nagila F.C. Secundino +20 more
TL;DR: The literature on malaria transmission from the perspective of its Amazon vectors is reviewed and the importance of the modulation of Plasmodium infection by the vector microbiota is discussed and also the anopheline genomes are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The JAK-STAT Pathway Controls Plasmodium vivax Load in Early Stages of Anopheles aquasalis Infection
Ana C. Bahia,Marina S. Kubota,Antonio Jorge Tempone,Helena R. C. Araújo,Bruno A. M. Guedes,Alessandra S Orfanó,Wanderli Pedro Tadei,Claudia María Ríos-Velásquez,Yeon Soo Han,Nágila Francinete Costa Secundino,Carolina Barillas-Mury,Paulo F. P. Pimenta,Yara M. Traub-Cseko +12 more
TL;DR: This work presents the first clear evidence for the involvement of a specific immune pathway in the interaction of the Brazilian malaria vector A. aquasalis with P. vivax, delineating a potential target for the future development of disease controlling strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipophosphoglycans from Leishmania amazonensis Strains Display Immunomodulatory Properties via TLR4 and Do Not Affect Sand Fly Infection.
Paula Monalisa Nogueira,Rafael Ramiro de Assis,Ana Claudia Torrecilhas,Elvira M. Saraiva,Natalia Lima Pessoa,Marco Antônio Campos,Eric Fabrício Marialva,Claudia María Ríos-Velásquez,Felipe Arley Costa Pessoa,Nágila Francinete Costa Secundino,Jeronimo Marteleto Nunes Rugani,Elsa Nieves,Salvatore J. Turco,Maria Norma Melo,Rodrigo Pedro Soares +14 more
TL;DR: A preliminary biochemical analysis indicates intraspecies variation in the LPG sugar moieties, however, they did not result in different activation profiles of the innate immune system and did not affect infectivity to the sand fly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropic effects on sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) abundance and diversity in an Amazonian rural settlement, Brazil
Walkyria Rodrigues Ramos,Jansen Fernandes Medeiros,Genimar Rebouças Julião,Claudia María Ríos-Velásquez,Eric Fabrício Marialva,Sylvain J M Desmoulière,Sérgio Luiz Bessa Luz,Felipe Arley Costa Pessoa +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that changes in the human occupancy and vegetation management in rural settlements may affect the population dynamics and distribution of sand fly species, thereby affecting the local transmission of cutaneous leishmaniases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of reactive oxygen species in Anopheles aquasalis response to Plasmodium vivax infection.
Ana C. Bahia,Jose Henrique M. Oliveira,Marina S. Kubota,Helena R. C. Araújo,José Bento Pereira Lima,Claudia María Ríos-Velásquez,Marcus V. G. Lacerda,Pedro L. Oliveira,Yara M. Traub-Cseko,Paulo F. P. Pimenta +9 more
TL;DR: It appears that P. vivax manipulates the mosquito detoxification system in order to allow its own development, which can be an indirect effect of fewer competitive bacteria present in the mosquito midgut caused by the increase of ROS after catalase silencing.
