Abstract
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are important vectors in the transmission of several arboviruses. Among medical important arthropod bourne viruses, the most important are the the Flavivirus genus (Flaviviridae family) such as dengue (DENV) virus, Zika virus (ZIKV), Yellow fever virus (YF) and encephalitis virus Saint Louis (SLEV) which are a very important topic in public health today.…

Abstract
The therapy for patients with hepatitis C, for more than a decade, was based in the use of conventional interferon (IFN) or pegylated interferon (IFN-PEG) combined with ribavirin (RBV), administered for 24 or 48 weeks depending on the infecting genotype. Due to this, it is of extreme importance to recognize the mechanism behind the therapy, because even today its real functioning is unkno…

Abstract
The difficulties related to diagnosis and treatment against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has stimulated researches in drugs development area. New treatments have as main feature the virus direct inhibition by preventing the function of proteins scents in its replication. The new treatments unique mechanism of function makes the knowledge of molecular characteristics extreme important…
