Anticorpos anti-trypanosoma cruzi como preditivos de infecção por leishmania infantum

Leishmania infantum and Trypanosoma cruzi are trypanosomatids of medical importance and are, respectively, the etiologic agents of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and Chagas disease (CD) in Brazil. People infected with L. infantum or T. cruzi may develop asymptomatically, enabling the transmission of pathogens through blood transfusion and / or organs. The assessment of the infection by T. cruzi is included among the tests performed for screening blood donors in Brazil, however, there is no availability of tests for Leishmania. Serological tests for T. cruzi are very sensitive, but not specific, and may have cross-reactions with other microorganisms. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Leishmania infection in blood donors and assess whether the serological test for T. cruzi detect L. infantum. Among the 300 blood samples from donors, discarded in 2011, 61 were T. cruzi positive, 203 were from donors with other infections and 36 were from handbags with low blood volume, but without infection. We also assessed 144 samples from donors without infections and able to donate blood, totaling 444 subjects. DNA was extracted from blood samples of all to perform quantitative PCR (qPCR) to detect Leishmania DNA. The buffy coat obtained from all samples was grown in Schneider medium supplemented and NNN. All samples were evaluated for the presence of anti-Leishmania antibody. The serological results indicate a percentage of 22% of Leishmania infection in blood samples obtained from discarded bags. A total of 60% of samples positive in ELISA for T. cruzi were negative by IFI, used as confirmatory test, ie 60% false positive for Chagas. Among these samples false positive for Chagas, 72% were positive by ELISA for Leishmania characterizing the occurrence of cross reaction between serologic assays. Of the 300 cultures performed, 18 grew parasites that were typed by qPCR and specific isoenzymes, found the species Leishmania infantum crops. Among the 18 cultures, 4 were purged from scholarships for low volume and all negative serology blood bank, thus demonstrating that there is a real risk of Leishmania transmission via transfusion. It is concluded that in an area endemic for leishmaniasis in Brazil, serological diagnosis performed to detect infection by T. cruzi among blood donors can identify infection by L. infantum and although cause false positive for Chagas, this cross-reactivity reduces the risk of Leishmania infection via blood transfusion, since tests are not applied specific detection of the parasite. In this way, there remains the need to discuss the implementation of a specific serological screening test for Leishmania in endemic countries such as Brazil

Diagnóstico molecular por PCR-RFLP e gene LYS2 para identificação de Fusarium decemcellulare.

Fusarium decemcellulare é encontrado como agente causal de doenças com diferentes sintomas em diversas espécies de plantas em regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Em guaranazeiro, espécie nativa da Amazônia de importância econômica e social, a doença denominada de complexo superbrotamento é atualmente um dos principais problemas da cultura. Técnicas moleculares são cada vez mais requeridas para identificação rápida e segura de patógenos como complemento as técnicas convencionais. O objetivo do trabalho foi desenvolver métodos moleculares por PCR e PCR-RFLP para rápida identificação de F. decemcellulare.

Identificação molecular de fungos filamentosos isolados dos sintomas de superbrotamento em guaranazeiro.

O complexo superbrotamento, cujo agente causal é o fungo Fusarium decemcellulare, destaca-se como uma das principais doenças que acometem o guaranazeiro na região Amazônica. Entender a dinâmica da comunidade de fungos presente nas lesões e a interação com fatores bióticos e abióticos pode contribuir com o combate à doença. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar os diferentes fungos presentes nos três sintomas do superbrotamento em guaranazeiro e nos tecidos assintomáticos.
