Roraima is the northernmost state of Brazil, bordering both Venezuela and Guyana. Appropriate climate and vector conditions for dengue transmission together with its proximity to countries where all four dengue serotypes circulate make this state, particularly the capital Boa Vista, strategically important for dengue surveillance in Brazil. Nonetheless, few studies have addressed the population dynamics of Aedes aegypti in Boa Vista. In this study, we report temporal and spatial variations in Ae. ...

In this work, we investigated in vitro the antioxidant, cytotoxic and anti-leishmanial activities of a lignin extracted from the leaves of Morinda citrifolia. Initially, an analysis of the composition of the sheets was performed, then the lignin was obtained by alkaline delignification and characterized by different techniques: elemental analysis, FT-R, UV-vis, HSQC-NMR, thermal analysis, Py-GC/MS and by GPC. The results showed that the leaves had in their composition cellulose (31.29%), hemicellulose ( ...

A nationwide yearly cycle of indoor residual spraying (IRS) with a pyrethroid, alphacypermethrin, at a dosage of 50 mg/m(2) was instituted in 2004 in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe. Rates of IRS acceptance were high, varying from 82% to 95% for dwellings and outhouses. Epidemiologic surveys of the children < 9 years of age before and after the first IRS cycle revealed a rapid reduction in malaria. Overall prevalence of malaria parasitemia for all districts was lowered from 20.1% to ...

Abstract Background Blomia tropicalis is a dust mite and an important source of allergens in tropical regions. Up to now, the assays to diagnose atopy to this mite use whole body extract as antigens. However, anti- B. tropicalis IgE antibodies cross-react with Ascaris lumbricoides antigens, hindering the diagnosis of allergy to this mite. In this study, B. tropicalis recombinant allergens were evaluated with the purpose of developing an immunodiagnostic assay for allergy to this mite with greater ...

The results provided by the model are compared with the hydrologic characteristics, soil texture and soil structure of the agricultural terraces. This approach demonstrates an association between the spatial distribution of erosive forms with high values of water depth ...

Among the many sources of anthocyanins, edible flowers are regaining interest for both consumers and researchers due to their nutritional profile and the need for even more healthy dietary alternatives. In such context, anthocyanin-rich edible flowers may be one of the most interesting groups of such cultivars but also of anthocyanins source. In this review, we discuss the latest findings regarding such type of edible flowers, from their consumption patterns to their nutritional and anthocyanins ...

After consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods, there is a long journey before these bioactives may exert a health-promoting property. They must pass through the oral cavity, the gastrointestinal tract, undergo metabolism events, pass cellular barriers, and eventually trigger a biological event. Hence, before looking at the health effects of anthocyanins, some topics related to their food bioaccessibility, interaction with biomolecules (proteins, biomembranes, and DNA), and bioavailability/metabolism ...

Herb-induced liver injury (HILI) can be caused by supplements containing herbs, natural products, and products used in traditional medicine. Herbal products' most common adverse reaction is hepatotoxicity. Almost every plant part can be used to make herbal products, and these products can come in many different forms, such as teas, powders, oils, creams, capsules, and injectables. HILI incidence and prevalence are hard to estimate and vary from study to study because of insufficient large-scale prospective ...

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a problem of increasing significance, but has been a long-standing concern in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) infection. The liver has a central role in drug metabolism and detoxification, and is consequently vulnerable to injury. The pathogenesis and types of DILI are presented, ranging from hepatic adaptation to hepatocellular injury. Knowledge of the metabolism of anti-TB medications and of the mechanisms of TB DILI is incomplete. Understanding of TB DILI ...
