- MRC-FAPESP: defining the role of the hematopoietic parasite reservoir in Plasmodium vivax infection and pathology, AP.R
Abstract
In this collaborative project with the University of Glasgow, we propose, for the first time, an analysis of an overlooked but critical and still neglected aspect of the cycle of the parasite Plasmodium vivax (Pv), referring to the infection of this pathogen in the potential niches hematopoietic. Here, we will systematically investigate Pv infection in one of the main hematopoietic niches…
- SPIICA - the São Paulo-Imperial College (UK) Immune Correlates in Arbovirus Infection Network: special emphasis on CHIKV, AP.TEM
Abstract
Emerging and re-emerging diseases are a major public health problem. In the past years, the world has been threatened by several important emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases, such as Ebola, Avian Influenza A, Yellow Fever (YFV), Dengue (DENV), West Nile Fever (WNV) among others. In Brazil, the emerging infections caused by arboviruses such as DENV and YIF are historical and have …
- UK:Brazil Joint Centre Partnership in Leishmaniasis (JCPiL), AP.TEM
Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a devastating parasitic disease that targets the poorest of society and is the 9th largest global infectious disease burden (WHO). It is truly a Neglected Infectious Disease as the combined financial support of basic and clinical research equates to <2% of infectious disease R&D resources available. Consequently, there are no vaccines available currently and the limited a…

- Strengthening the inclusion of people with disabilities in the health system in Brazil , AP.PP
Abstract
The prevalence of disability is significant all over the world, and it is expected to rise further as population ages, health behaviors worsen and often disabling chronic conditions prevail. Evidence shows that people with disabilities have higher healthcare needs and that these are often not met. They are found to experience poorer access to health services and worst health outcomes than…
- How is the current economic crisis shaping Brazil's health system? Strengthening health workforce and provision of services in São Paulo and Maranhão , AP.PP
Abstract
This project aims to evaluate the impact of the current economic crisis in the Brazilian Health System, especially in health human resources and in the offer of health services to vulnerable population. To archive that, we will analyze secondary data, collect primary quantitative and qualitative data. The study will be conducted in the states of São Paulo and Maranhão, chosen for their di…
- Pulmonary delivery of a targeted mucosal nanocarrier vaccine for pneumonia, AP.R
Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae utilizes as a portal of entry into the body causing community acquired-pneumonia (CAP), bacteraemia, meningitis and sepsis (invasive pneumococcal disease, IPD). Current pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) comprises 13 of the most common S. pneumoniase serotypes and is administered via the parental route resulting in low levels of lung mucosal immunity. Several …

- Spatiotemporal analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern in the city of São Paulo, BP.PD
Abstract
The availability of viral genome sequencing techniques and projections by means of mathematical, statistical, and computational models allow tracking the emergence and spread of infectious diseases on a local and global scale. Since the first confirmed case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, these techniques and analyses are responsible for an active and continuous monitoring of the epidemiological…
- Development of a rapid, cost-effective and sensitive metagenomics based test for the diagnosis and surveillance of viruses associated with Encephalitis/Meningitis, BP.PD
Abstract
Viral infections of the brain tissue (Encephalitis) and inflammation of meninges (Meningitis) are processes of the Central Nervous System CNS) that can result in significant morbidity and mortality and several Viruses can be involved. Since, almost 70% of viral encephalitis cases are left without an etiologic agent identified. Arthropod-borne Viruses (ArboVirus) presents a serious challen…

- Prospective screening for identification of variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 in the municipality of São Paulo, BP.TT
- Genome-wide approaches to reveal epigenomic structure in trypanosomes subjected to metabolic states changes and during cell cycle, BP.PD
Abstract
Parasites will be subject to different metabolic backgrounds, such as severe metabolic stress by incubating them in deprivation of nutrients (PBS buffer) or under metabolic stress conditions with single carbon and energy sources for maintenance (PBS supplemented with glucose, proline, histidine or leucine). In parallel, parasites in different cell cycle stages will be obtained by cell sor…
