O parasitismo é um tipo de simbiose e é definido como uma associação íntima entre um organismo (parasita) e outra espécie maior de organismo (hospedeiro) da qual o parasita é metabolicamente dependente. Implícito nesta definição está o conceito de que o hospedeiro é prejudicado, enquanto o parasita se beneficia da associação. Visto que parasitas bem […]

CARACTERIZAÇÃO E DISCUSSÃO DE UM RELATO DE CASO DE FEBRE REUMÁTICA

e-Scientia (2017)

Poliane Soares da Silva Vieira Alexsandra Lúcia Pereira Daniela Camargos Costa

Resumo : A Febre Reumatica (FR) e uma doenca inflamatoria autoimune, que ocorre como consequencia de uma faringoamigdalite pela bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes . Apresenta altos indices de morbidade e mortalidade, sendo considerada um grave problema de saude publica, particularmente nas areas mais pobres. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo descrever um relato de caso de FR, comparando as manifestacoes clinicas com a literatura cientifica. Paciente S. S. S., sexo feminino, aos cinco anos de idade, apresentava repetidas faringoamigdalites e edema nas articulacoes. Os exames solicitados e seus respectivos resultados foram: proteina C reativa: (positivo - +++), velocidade de hemossedimentacao (55 mm em 30 minutos, 100 mm em 60 minutos, 105 mm em 90 minutos ) , mucoproteina (8,3 mg%) e antiestreptolisina “O” (850 UI / mL). As manifestacoes clinicas da paciente, juntamente com os achados laboratoriais preencheram os criterios de Jones: um criterio maior (artrite) e dois menores (febre e elevacao dos reagentes de fase aguda), bem como a evidencia estreptococica previa (ASLO aumentada). Sugere-se que a rapidez na confirmacao do diagnostico e a correta conduta farmaceutica realizada, incluindo a regularidade e assiduidade nos dias da administracao da medicacao da profilaxia secundaria, tenham contribuido para a eficacia do tratamento.

Plasmodium simium, a Plasmodium vivax-Related Malaria Parasite: Genetic Variability of Duffy Binding Protein II and the Duffy Antigen/Receptor for Chemokines

PLoS ONE (2015)

Daniela Camargos Costa Gabriela Maíra Pereira de Assis Flávia Alessandra de Souza Silva Flávia Carolina Faustino de Araújo Júlio César de Souza

Plasmodium simium is a parasite from New World monkeys that is most closely related to the human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax; it also naturally infects humans. The blood-stage infection of P. vivax depends on Duffy binding protein II (PvDBPII) and its cognate receptor on erythrocytes, the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (hDARC), but there is no information on the P. simium erythrocytic invasion pathway. The genes encoding P. simium DBP (PsDBPII) and simian DARC (sDARC) were sequenced from Southern brown howler monkeys (Alouatta guariba clamitans) naturally infected with P. simium because P. simium may also depend on the DBPII/DARC interaction. The sequences of DBP binding domains from P. vivax and P. simium were highly similar. However, the genetic variability of PsDBPII was lower than that of PvDBPII. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that these genes were strictly related and clustered in the same clade of the evolutionary tree. DARC from A. clamitans was also sequenced and contained three new non-synonymous substitutions. None of these substitutions were located in the N-terminal domain of DARC, which interacts directly with DBPII. The interaction between sDARC and PvDBPII was evaluated using a cytoadherence assay of COS7 cells expressing PvDBPII on their surfaces. Inhibitory binding assays in vitro demonstrated that antibodies from monkey sera blocked the interaction between COS-7 cells expressing PvDBPII and hDARC-positive erythrocytes. Taken together, phylogenetic analyses reinforced the hypothesis that the host switch from humans to monkeys may have occurred very recently in evolution, which sheds light on the evolutionary history of new world plasmodia. Further invasion studies would confirm whether P. simium depends on DBP/DARC to trigger internalization into red blood cells.

Plasmodium simium/Plasmodium vivax infections in southern brown howler monkeys from the Atlantic Forest

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (2014)

Daniela Camargos Costa Vanessa Pecini da Cunha Gabriela Maíra Pereira de Assis Júlio César de Souza Zelinda Maria Braga Hirano

Blood infection by the simian parasite, Plasmodium simium, was identified in captive (n = 45, 4.4%) and in wild Alouatta clamitans monkeys (n = 20, 35%) from the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil. A single malaria infection was symptomatic and the monkey presented clinical and haematological alterations. A high frequency of Plasmodium vivax-specific antibodies was detected among these monkeys, with 87% of the monkeys testing positive against P. vivax antigens. These findings highlight the possibility of malaria as a zoonosis in the remaining Atlantic Forest and its impact on the epidemiology of the disease.

Plasmodium ovale malaria in Brazil: report of an imported case with a prolonged incubation period

The Journal of Infection in Developing Countries (2014)

Jean Ezequiel Limongi Daniela Camargos Costa Luzia H. Carvalho Iris Sousa Lopes Alcides Assis Silva

We report the first case of imported Plasmodium ovale in Brazil, confirmed using both conventional microscopy and PCR-based protocols. The patient was a 36-year-old Brazilian male who had been working as a miner in Cabinda Province, Angola. Based on his travel history, the parasite was dormant for at least two years. The relatively long period of incubation of P. ovale may obscure the link between exposure and disease. The recent increase in the number of people travelling to regions where P. ovale is endemic, suggests that a PCR-based protocol should be included as a complementary tool for malaria reference laboratories.

Detection of Plasmodium in faeces of the New World primate Alouatta clamitans

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (2016)

Gabriela Maíra Pereira de Assis Denise Anete Madureira de Alvarenga Daniela Camargos Costa Júlio César de Souza Zelinda Maria Braga Hirano

Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax have evolved with host switches between non-human primates (NHPs) and humans. Studies on the infection dynamics of Plasmodium species in NHPs will improve our understanding of the evolution of these parasites; however, such studies are hampered by the difficulty of handling animals in the field. The aim of this study was to detect genomic DNA of Plasmodium species from the faeces of New World monkeys. Faecal samples from 23 Alouatta clamitans from the Centre for Biological Research of Indaial (Santa Catarina, Brazil) were collected. Extracted DNA from faecal samples was used for molecular diagnosis of malaria by nested polymerase chain reaction. One natural infection with Plasmodium simium was identified by amplification of DNA extracted from the faeces of A. clamitans. Extracted DNA from a captive NHP was also used for parasite genotyping. The detection limit of the technique was evaluated in vitro using an artificial mixture of cultured P. falciparum in NHP faeces and determined to be 6.5 parasites/µL. Faecal samples of New World primates can be used to detect malaria infections in field surveys and also to monitor the genetic variability of parasites and dynamics of infection.
