Entrevista com a pesquisadora Elizabeth Rangel. Chefe do Laboratório Interdisciplinar em Vigilância Entomológica do IOC do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz

A pesquisadora estuda a relação entre mudanças climáticas e leishmanioses. Seus estudos mostram expansão dos vetores e da doença até 2050 devido ao aquecimento global. Utilizando metodologias avançadas, identifica fatores que aumentam a densidade de vetores. Propõe investimentos em estudos de campo e cooperação entre os Ministérios da Saúde e do Meio Ambiente para enfrentar os desafios. Veja a entrevista completa para mais detalhes.

Contributing to Elimination of Cross-Border Malaria Through a Standardized Solution for Case Surveillance, Data Sharing, and Data Interpretation: Development of a Cross-Border Monitoring System

Background: Cross-border malaria is a significant obstacle to achieving malaria control and elimination worldwide. Objective: This study aimed to build a cross-border surveillance system that can make comparable and qualified data available to all parties involved in malaria control between French Guiana and Brazil. Methods: Data reconciliation rules based on expert knowledge were defined and applied to the heterogeneous data provided by the existing malaria surveillance systems of both countries.

Kdr genotyping in Aedes aegypti from Brazil on a nation-wide scale from 2017 to 2018

Insecticide resistance is currently a threat to the control of Aedes agypti, the main vector of arboviruses in urban centers. Mutations in the voltage gated sodium channel (NaV), known as kdr (knockdown resistance), constitute an important selection mechanism for resistance against pyrethroids. In the present study, we investigated the kdr distribution for the Val1016Ile and Phe1534Cys alterations in Ae.
