Cytokine Production in Acute versus Chronic Human Schistosomiasis Mansoni: The Cross-Regulatory Role of Interferon-γ and Interleukin-10 in the Responses of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Splenocytes to Parasite Antigens
Silvia Maria Lucena Montenegro,Paulo Miranda,Siddhartha Mahanty,Frederico G. C. Abath,Kirte M. Teixeira,Eridan M. Coutinho,Joeli Brinkman,Itay Gonçalves,Luiz Antônio W. Domingues,Ana Lúcia Coutinho Domingues,Alan Sher,Thomas A. Wynn +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that early disease in schistosomiasis is associated with a significant IFN-gamma response and that IL-10 contributes to the suppression of that response during both early and chronic infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of PCR for Diagnosis of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in an Area of Endemicity in Northeastern Brazil
Eduardo Henrique Gomes Rodrigues,Maria Edileuza Felinto de Brito,Mitzi G. Mendonça,Roberto P. Werkhauser,Eridan M. Coutinho,Wayner Vieira de Souza,Maria de Fátima Pessoa Militão de Albuquerque,Márcio Martins Lobo Jardim,Frederico G. C. Abath +8 more
TL;DR: PCR-based approaches targeting kinetoplast DNA were evaluated for the diagnosis of American cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) in regions of endemicity in northeastern Brazil, finding that the sensitivities of the PCR-based methods were significantly higher than those of smear examination, histological staining, and isolation by culture.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two contiguous villages in Tracunhaém county, endemic for schistosomiasis, were studied: Itapinassu and São Joaquim and farming predominates in the former region while ceramics is the main activity in the latter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological aspects of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms isolated from nourished and undernourished mice: a comparative analysis by confocal laser scanning microscopy
Renata Heisler Neves,José Roberto Machado-Silva,Marcelo Pelajo-Machado,Sheila Andrade Oliveira,Eridan M. Coutinho,Henrique Leonel Lenzi,Delir Corrêa Gomes +6 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that the inadequate nutritional status of the vertebrate host has a negative influence mainly in the reproductive system and topographical somatic development of male adult Schistosoma mansoni, inducing some alterations on the structure of the parasite.
