Vaccine development against : from ideal antigens to the current landscape.

: The interest of the world scientific community for an effective vaccine against infection arises from its high prevalence and association with many diseases. Moreover, with an immunological response that is not always effective for the eradication of the bacteria and an increasing antibiotic resistance in the treatment of this infection, the search for a vaccine and new therapeutic modalities to control this infection is urgent.: We bring an overview of the infection worldwide, discussing its prevalence, increasing resistance to antibiotics used in its therapy, in addition to the response of the immune system to the infection registered so far.

Simultaneous circulation of zakat, dengue, and chikungunya viruses and their vertical co-transmission among Aedes aegypti.

The outbreaks caused by the Aedes aegypti-transmitted dengue virus (DENV), zakat virus (ZIKV), and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) result in a significant impact to the health systems of tropical countries. Furthermore, the occurrence of patients coinfected by at least two of these arboviruses is an aggravating factor in that scenario. On this basis, surveillance tools such as the Rapid Index Survey for Aedes aegypti (LIRAa) are used to estimate vector infestation in order to improve the prediction of human outbreaks.

Immunotherapy - new perspective in lung cancer.

Lung carcinoma is associated with a high mortality worldwide, being the leading cause of cancer death. It is mainly classified into squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), non-squamous NSCLC, and small cell lung cancer. However, such malignancy has been increasingly subdivided into histological and molecular subtypes to guide treatment.
