RESUMO

BACKGROUND Non-human primates contribute to the spread of the yellow fever virus (YFV) and the establishment of transmission cycles in endemic areas. OBJECTIVE To describe the severe histopathological aspects of YFV infection, 10 squirrel monkeys were infected with YFV and blood, brain, liver, kidney, spleen, heart, lung, lymph node and stomach were collected at 1-7, 10, 20 and 30 days post-infection (dpi). METHODS Histopathological analysis and detection of the genome and viral antigens and neutralising antibodies were performed by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and neutralisation test, respectively. FINDINGS Only one animal died from the experimental infection. The genome and viral antigens were detected in all investigated organs (1-30 dpi) and the neutralising antibodies from seven to 30 dpi. The brain contained perivascular haemorrhage (6 dpi); in the liver, midzonal haemorrhage and lytic necrosis (6 dpi) were observed. The kidney had bleeding in the Bowman's capsule and tubular necrosis (6 dpi). Pyknotic lymphocytes were observed in the spleen (1-20 dpi), the lung had haemorrhage (2-6 dpi), in the endocardium it contained nuclear pyknosis and necrosis (2-3 dpi) and the stomach contained blood in the lumen (6 dpi). MAIN FINDINGS Squirrel monkeys reliably reproduced the responses observed in human cases of yellow fever and, therefore, constitute an excellent experimental model for studies on the pathophysiology of the disease.

RESUMO

This paper reviews the epidemiology and distinguishing features of three viral hemorrhagic fevers (dengue hemorrhagic fever, yellow fever and arenaviral hemorrhagic fever) that have emerged as important public health problems in South America. Although the etiology, natural history and control of the three diseases are different, their clinical manifestations and histopathology findings are similar and can be difficult to differentiate. Consequently, early recognition and correct diagnosis are essential for effective control measures to be initiated.

RESUMO

Se realizó una serie de experimentos para estudiar los efectos de diferentes temperaturas ambientales (28 a 10ºC) y tipos de dieta sobre la tasa de crecimiento, el tamaño y la longevidad de los flebotomíneos: Se utilizaron cuatro colonias de laboratorio diferentes: Phlebotomus papatasi, P. perniciosus, Lutzomyia longipalpis (Brasil) y L. longipalpis (Colombia). Los períodos de desarrollo y supervivencia de los insectos fueron muy variables según la temperatura y la especie. Por debajo de 18ºC, la mayoría de las larvas y pupas de L. longipalpis murieron. A 15ºC, el tiempo de desarrollo de P. papatasi y P. perniciosus se prologó considerablemente (150 a 412 días) y muchas de las formas inmaduras murieron. En el rango de 28 a 15ºC, la longevidad de los adultos de P. papatasi y L. longipalpis aumentó a medida que la temperatura ambiente disminuía; a 15ºC los tiempos promedio de supervivencia de las hembras de P. papatasi y L. longipalpis fueron 63,2 y 37,1 días, respectivamente. El efecto de dos tipos de dieta diferentes (heces de animal/polvo de hígado y hojas en descomposición) sobre la tasa de crecimiento y el tamaño (peso de pupa) de L longipalpis también se determinó, estableciéndose que los insectos alimentados con heces de animal/polvo de hígado se desarrollaron más rápido y fueron más sincronizados y más grandes que aquellos alimentados con hojas de descomposición. Los resultados de este estudio entregan nueva información sobre los efectos de factores medioambientales en el crecimiento y la longevidad de flebotomíneos bajo condiciones de laboratorio

RESUMO

The phlebotomine sand fly fauna of two coffee plantations in a Leishmania-endemic area of Norte de Santander, Colombia was studied. Regular insect collections using a variety of methods were made for three and a half years. Information was obtained on diurnal resting sites, host range and seasonal abundance for 17 species, of wich five (Lutzomyia spinicrassa, Lu. serrana,Lu. shannoni, Lu. ovallesi and Lu. gomezi) were far more numerous than the others, anthropophilic and present throughout the year. The behaviour of these and the remaining 12 species is discussed in relation to their potential role in transmission of Leishmania (Viannia) brasiliensis in the area

RESUMO

Characterization is given of a new parasite, Leishmania equatoriensis sp.n. wich was isolated from the viscera of a sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni) and a squirrel (Sciurus granatensis), captured in humid tropical forest onthe Pacific Coast of Ecuador. Data based on biological and molecular criteria, as well as numerical zymotaxonomical analysis, indicate that this parasite is a new species of the L. brasiliensis complex. L. equatoriensis is cleary distinguishable form all other known species within this complex, using the following molecular criteria: reactivity patterns with specific monoclonal antibodies, isoenzyme electrophoresis, and restriction-endonuclease fragment patterns of kinetoplast DNA (k-DNA)

RESUMO

Se examinó la hipótesis de que el mosquito Aedeomyia squamipennis mantenía al virus Gamboa (Bunyavirus) circulando en la naturaleza mediante transmisión transovárica (de la hembra infectada a su prole), sin la necesidad de un huésped amplificador. En estudios iniciados en Marzo de 1985 se procesaron 84,000 mosquitos capturados en el campo. El virus fue aislado de larvas y de pupas, de machos y de hembras. La tasa mínima de infección fue de 1:207. Los huevos de Ad. squamipennis fueron identificados por primera vez en este estudio. Se examinaron 1226 grupos de huevos y la tasa de aislamiento viral fue de 1:77. Las tasas de aislamiento mensuales fueron similares, como también lo fueron las encontradas en las diferentes etapas de evolución del mosquito, sugiriendo que la transmisión transovárica es uno de los mecanismos de mantenimiento del virus Gamboa
