TL;DR: The first genome sequence of a nondipteran insect vector of an important human parasitic disease is described, which provides critical information on the physiology and evolution of this important vector species and should be instrumental for the development of innovative disease control methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for CD4+CD25+ T cells in regulation of the immune response during human tuberculosis
Rodrigo Ribeiro-Rodrigues,T. Resende Co,Roxana E. Rojas,Zahra Toossi,Zahra Toossi,Reynaldo Dietze,W. H. Boom,Ethel Leonor Noia Maciel,Christina S. Hirsch +8 more
TL;DR: A role for CD4+CD25+ T cells in depressed IFN‐γ production during TB was substantiated in depletion experiments, where CD25+‐depleted CD4 T cells produced increased amounts of IFn‐γ upon MTB stimulation compared to unseparated T cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal helminth co-infection has a negative impact on both anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis immunity and clinical response to tuberculosis therapy
T. Resende Co,Christina S. Hirsch,Zahra Toossi,Zahra Toossi,Reynaldo Dietze,Rodrigo Ribeiro-Rodrigues +5 more
TL;DR: Data may indicate that concomitant intestinal helminth infection in patients with newly diagnosed TB skews their cytokine profile toward a T helper 2 response, which could favour persistent MTB infection and a more protracted clinical course of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sputum Cytokine Levels in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis as Early Markers of Mycobacterial Clearance
Rodrigo Ribeiro-Rodrigues,Tatiana Resende Có,John L. Johnson,Fabiola Karla Correa Ribeiro,Moises Palaci,Ricardo Tristão Sá,Ethel Leonor Noia Maciel,Fausto E. Pereira Lima,Valdério do Valle Dettoni,Zahra Toossi,W. Henry Boom,Reynaldo Dietze,Jerrold J. Ellner,Christina S. Hirsch +13 more
TL;DR: Sputum cytokines correlate with disease activity during active TB of the lung and may serve as potential early markers for sputum conversion and response to anti-TB therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intestinal nematodes and pulmonary tuberculosis
Ricardo Tristão-Sá,Rodrigo Ribeiro-Rodrigues,Luciléia T. Johnson,Fausto Edmundo Lima Pereira,Reynaldo Dietze +4 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the immune modulation induced by nematodes is a factor that enhances TB infection/progression and that eosinophilia seen in TB patients is a consequence of helminth infection.
