Liana Konovaloff Jannotti Passos

TL;DR: Thirty-three strains of Brevibacillus laterosporus, including three novel strains isolated from Brazilian soil samples, were examined for genetic variability by the use of different PCR-based methods and the identification of a convenient marker that was associated with any entomopathogenic phenotype was not found.

TL;DR: The Multiplex-PCR technique showed to be a fast and safe tool for fascioliasis diagnosis, enabling the detection of F. hepatica miracidia in L. columella during the pre-patent period and identification of transmission areas.

TL;DR: The results confirm previous observations related to gene expression induced by sexual maturation in female schistosome worms and increase the list of S. mansoni maturation associated transcripts considerably, therefore opening new and exciting avenues for the study of the conjugal biology and development of new drugs againstSchistosomes.

TL;DR: Of the 30 ports investigated in this study, 11 contained molluscs infected with A. cantonensis larvae, indicating a wide distribution of this worm.

TL;DR: The biological cycle of F. hepatica in L. columella and the rabbit was completed within 124 days, and three rabbits begin to eliminate eggs of the parasite in the feces from 84 days after infection onwards.
