Viral infections are the most frequent infectious diseases and constitute major biological, clinical, and socioeconomic problems. The SARS-Cov-2 pandemic had its first cases reported in 2019 and continues to this day. As it is a respiratory virus, SARS-CoV-2 will remain a pathogen of concern, as it occasionally leads to severe clinical outcomes, especially in unvaccinated, immunocompromis…
ZIKA Virus (ZIKV), an RNA flavivirus and genomic organization like others virus of the Flaviviridae family presents a health problem in Brazil in the last year. The knowledge about the virus and its biological characteristics have been important due to the consequences of the infection as microcephalia and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Although some ZIKV target cells and their receptors have b…
The human vulnerability to HIV infection is not uniform, virological and host factors are determinants on the risk of transmission and natural progression of the infection.Polymorphisms of KIR genes combined with HLA class I alleles of the patient, are being associated with progression of HIV infection. Several studies have been performed in mono-infected with HIV-1, but little is known a…
Several molecules have been evaluated with regard to antiviral action against SARS-CoV-2 and in the treatment of complications from Covid-19, but to date, there are no drugs of significant efficacy. SARS-CoV-2 infection is still a concern because Covid-19 occasionally leads to severe clinical outcomes. Research aimed at exploring candidate molecules for the development of a drug is of ext…
Based on the literature, volatile compounds of the genus Eucalyptus have potentially favorable properties for the treatment of symptoms of Covid-19 and fighting SARS-CoV-2 infection. As this pathogen will remain a virus of concern, even with the end of the pandemic, the search for active molecules that act both against the infection and in the cytokine storm that lead to the worsening of …
The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), caused by de the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), positive-stranded RNA viruses, has already caused, worldwide, more than 3,5 million deaths until July 2021. This disease is based on the infection of host cells through the fusion between cell and viral membranes, which occurs through the viral spike protein (S), which comes mutating and gives ris…
The Zika Virus has become a concern to public health in Brazil and other American countries, since 2015, mainly due to the reports of microcephaly in new-borns and Guillain-Barré syndrome both related to the viral infection. Since then, a great amount of researches are dedicated to enlighten the interaction between the virus and its host. In this context, the present study aims to evaluat…
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are cells of the immune system that include lymphocytes, monocytes and dendritic cells, which are often carriers of pathogens either because they are targeted or defending against pathogens. The presence of Dengue virus (DENV), Hepatitis C (HCV) and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in these cell types has been documented. With the recent dissem…
Platelets are fragments of the megakaryocytes produced in bone marrow. Besides participate in the coagulation process the platelets have been described as virus carrier in circulation of the infected patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus and Dengue Virus. The ZIKV is an emergent pathogen, belongs of the Flaviviridae family that infects dendritic cells, epithe…
