Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac morbidity and mortality due to Chagas' disease: prospective electrocardiographic study of a Brazilian community.
James H. Maguire,Rodney Hoff,Ítalo Rodrigues de Araújo Sherlock,Armênio C. Guimarães,Adrian Sleigh,N B Ramos,K. E. Mott,T.H. Weller +7 more
TL;DR: Electrocardiography during the early asymptomatic stage of infection was able to distinguish persons with potentially lethal cardiac lesions from those with a benign prognosis and high mortality among infected adults with VCDs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on control of visceral leishmaniasis: impact of dog control on canine and human visceral leishmaniasis in Jacobina, Bahia, Brazil.
D A Ashford,John R. David,M Freire,Roberta A. David,Ítalo Rodrigues de Araújo Sherlock,M. C. Eulálio,Diana P. Sampaio,Roberto Badaró +7 more
TL;DR: The results of this intervention study suggest that the elimination of the majority of seropositive dogs may affect the cumulative incidence of seroconversion in dogs temporarily and may also diminish the incidence of human cases of visceral leishmaniasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological interactions of visceral leishmaniasis in the state of Bahia, Brazil
TL;DR: The dog is the most important domestic source for infection of the vector, however it is not a primary reservoir, and the opossum Didelphis albiventris was found naturally infected with Le.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the polymerase chain reaction and serology for the detection of canine visceral leishmaniasis.
D A Ashford,Marcelo T. Bozza,M Freire,José Carlos Miranda,Ítalo Rodrigues de Araújo Sherlock,C Eulalio,Ulisses Gazos Lopes,Octavio Fernandes,Wim Degrave,Barker Rh +9 more
TL;DR: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and serology was evaluated for the diagnosis of canine visceral leishmaniasis in Bahia, Brazil and it is suggested that the PCR might serve as a better gold standard to define Leishmania infection than culture or hamster inoculation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Large-scale trials of a trapping system designed to collect silvatic Triatominae are reported, which provides an effective way to detect the presence of triatomines in terrestrial and arborealsilvatic habitats and represents a promising tool for ecological studies.
