Advances in Vaccine Development Against SporotrichosisCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 126-131 - 2019
Sandro Rogerio de Almeida
To review recent data about the study of the immune response in sporotrichosis and recent progress in the development of an effective human and feline vaccine. The cell wall of Sporothrix is an important source of antigens with the potential to develop vaccines. A major candidate is a 70-kDa glycoprotein (gp70). Our group developed a model of sporotrichosis treatment using the monoclonal against g...... hiện toàn bộ
Chikungunya and Its Interaction With the Host CellCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 22-29 - 2015
Licia Bordi, Claudia Caglioti, Eleonora Lalle, Concetta Castilletti, Maria Rosaria Capobianchi
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted alphavirus belonging to the Togaviridae family. It is a virus with a single-stranded, positive sense RNA genome, maintained in a sylvatic and urban cycle, involving humans and mosquitoes from Aedes species, mainly Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. In less than 10 years, CHIKV has spread from the coast of Kenya throughout the Indian Ocean, Pacif...... hiện toàn bộ
Encystation of Giardia intestinalis—a Journey from the Duodenum to the ColonCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 101-109 - 2015
Elin Einarsson, Staffan G. Svärd
The intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis has a simple life cycle consisting of disease-causing trophozoites and infectious cysts. The parasite differentiates into the cyst stage (encystation) when duodenal trophozoites are swept further down in the small intestine. The encystation process can be divided into an early and a late phase. Expressions of cyst wall sugars and proteins are ...... hiện toàn bộ
Is There Any Relationship Between Helicobacter pylori and Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease?Current Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 212-217 - 2021
Rebeca Hernandez Lemus, Alejandro Hernandez Monroy
To determine if there is a relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and metabolic disorders such as obesity, metabolic syndrome, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. H. pylori is a bacterium that affects almost 50% of the world population. New information shows that it may have a relationship with metabolic disorders. This relationship might be induced by regulation of adipokines and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Meningoencephalitis Due to Free-Living Amoebas in the TropicsCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 9 - Trang 8-14 - 2022
Carlos Seas, Pedro Legua
To asses recent advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of infections caused by free-living amoebas The burden of disease by free-living amoebas is underestimated; global warming could increase incidence in future years. Early recognition of clinical syndromes may allow for prompt initiation of therapy and better disease outcome. Molecular...... hiện toàn bộ
Leptospirosis in MesoamericaCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 4 - Trang 83-88 - 2017
Alejandro E. Svarch, Cesar Alejandro Arce-Salinas, Jose L. Amaya
Leptospirosis is recognized as a globally re-emerging zoonosis. Despite historical evidence of this bacterial infection dating back centuries, very few studies have looked at the specific geographic distribution of historical leptospirosis outbreaks of public health importance in Mesoamerica. This article aims to review the pertinent outbreaks in this region, in an effort to influence future publi...... hiện toàn bộ
Multisectoral Perspectives on Global Warming and Vector-borne Diseases: a Focus on Southern EuropeCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 47-70 - 2023
Oluwafemi A. Adepoju, Olubunmi A. Afinowi, Abdullah M. Tauheed, Ammar U. Danazumi, Lamin B. S. Dibba, Joshua B. Balogun, Gouegni Flore, Umar Saidu, Bashiru Ibrahim, Olukunmi O. Balogun, Emmanuel O. Balogun
The climate change (CC) or global warming (GW) modifies environment that favors vectors’ abundance, growth, and reproduction, and consequently, the rate of development of pathogens within the vectors. This review highlights the threats of GW-induced vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in Southern Europe (SE) and the need for mitigation efforts to prevent potential global health catastrophe.

Epidemiology of Chagas Disease in the USA: High-Risk Patient Populations for ScreeningCurrent Tropical Medicine Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 8-12 - 2019
Yagahira Castro, Rachel Marcus
The goals of this paper are to review the current data on the prevalence of Chagas disease in the USA and to describe the obstacles to expanding screening efforts. Latin American immigrants appear to be at a significantly higher risk of contracting Chagas disease than are individuals born in the USA, though the risk of autochthonous transmission is likely underestimated. Rates of Chagas disease in...... hiện toàn bộ
