Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Cassia Moreira Santos"
Cassia Moreira Santos focuses on the pathogenicity and virulence factors of Leptospira species, particularly exploring the roles of metalloproteinases like leptolysin and the impact of zinc on their host interactions and virulence mechanisms.
Her research includes systematic reviews and meta-analyses evaluating the efficacy of leptospiral vaccines for dogs, as well as assessing the compatibility of these vaccines with circulating leptospiral strains in Brazil.
Santos has conducted both molecular characterization and seroepidemiological investigations of Leptospira infections in various settings, including symptomatic dogs and unique insular environments, contributing to a greater understanding of leptospirosis epidemiology and zoonotic transmission.
