Immunogenic mapping of rDyn-1 and rKDDR-plus proteins and selection of oligopeptides by immunoblotting for the diagnosis of Leishmania infantum-infected dogs.

Endemic in Brazil, visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic infection that is among the most important parasitic diseases transmitted by vectors. Dogs are the main reservoirs of canine leishmaniasis (CanL) and their identification is used in some countries as part of disease prevention and control measures in the canine and human population. In this context, serological tests are necessary, composed of antigens capable of correctly identifying infected dogs, minimizing the number of false-negative cases.

Percolation of a fine particle in static granular beds.

We study the percolation of a fine spherical particle under gravity in static randomly packed large-particle beds with different packing densities ϕ and large to fine particle size ratios R ranging from 4 to 7.5 using discrete element method simulations. The particle size ratio at the geometrical trapping threshold, defined by three touching large particles, R_{t}=sqrt[3]/(2-sqrt[3])=6.

Vaccination with Formulation of Nanoparticles Loaded with Leishmania amazonensis Antigens Confers Protection against Experimental Visceral Leishmaniasis in Hamster.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a fatal disease caused by the protozoa for which dogs are the main reservoirs. A vaccine against canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) could be an important tool in the control of human and CVL by reducing the infection pressure of . Despite the CVL vaccine available on the market, the Brazilian Ministry of Health did not implement the use of it in their control programs.

Molecular detection of vector-borne pathogens in semen from dogs in southeastern Brazil.

Vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) are primarily transmitted by arthropod vectors, but secondary ways of transmission have been described, including via venereal route. Nonetheless, there is still limited research on possible sexual transmission of VBPs in dogs. We molecularly investigated the presence of vector-borne pathogens in semen from dogs living in an area where these agents are endemic.
