In the present paper the main aspects of the natural history of human infection by Toxocara larvae that occasionally result in the occurrence of visceral and/or ocular larva migrans syndrome were reviewed. The contribution by Brazilian researchers was emphasized, especially the staff of the Tropical Medicine Institute of São Paulo (IMT).

A sample of P. brasiliensis isolated from the spleen and the liver of an armadillo (Dasipus novencinctus) has been analysed under a mycological and immunochemical viewpoint. The armadillo was captured in an area of Tucuruí (State of Pará, Brazil), the animal being already established as an enzootic reservoir of P. brasiliensis at that region of the country. This sample maintained in the fungal collection of the Tropical Medicine Institute of São Paulo (Brazil) numbered 135, has got all the characteristics of P. brasiliensis, with a strong antigenic power and low virulence for guinea-pigs and Wistar rats. The specific exoantigen of P. brasiliensis - the glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 43 kDa - was easily demonstrated with double immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, SDS-PAGE and immunobloting techniques.

Objetiva analisar o perfil da produção latino-americana sobre Medicina Tropical na Web of Science (1945 a 2016), especificamente os artigos publicados em periódicos. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados foram os seguintes: (1) coleta de dados: coletaram-se os dados da Web of Science a partir da consulta do termo “tropical medicine” no campo “tópico”; (2) processamento dos dados utilizando o Vantage Point; (3) identificação temática: os temas foram obtidos nas palavras-chave dos artigos. Foram priorizadas as palavras-chave que indicavam nomes das doenças e seus agentes causadores, haja vista a possibilidade de descobrir quais enfermidades recebem maior atenção dos pesquisadores; (4) análise de relações: esquematizaram-se as relações entre os temas, instituições produtoras de artigos e periódicos científicos por meio do software UCINET/NetDraw. Como principais resultados, percebeu-se que: as relações mais profícuas entre instituições e temas são estabelecidas por instituições brasileiras: Fiocruz (RJ) e leishmaniose (13); Fiocruz (MG) e leishmaniose (8); Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais e leishmaniose (8) e Universidade de São Paulo e leishmaniose (7). As doenças e agentes causadores com maior índice de aparição na produção analisada foram: leishmaniose (60), doença de Chagas (30), aids (23), malária (21), dengue (19), diarreia (13) e tuberculose (12). Brasil (59%), Peru (9,6%), Venezuela (7,5%) e Cuba (6,9%) são os países latino-americanos mais representativos em termos de produção. As relações de colaboração mais intensas entre os países são estabelecidas entre Brasil e Estados Unidos. O periódico mais representativo foi o Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, sendo o responsável por mais de dois terços da produção indexada.

AbstractHere we investigated the diversity of bacterial communities from deep-sea surface sediments under influence of asphalt seeps at the Sao Paulo Plateau using next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. Sampling was performed at North São Paulo Plateau using the human occupied vehicle Shinkai 6500 and her support vessel Yokosuka. The microbial diversity was studied at two surficial sediment layers (0-1 and 1-4 cm) of five samples collected in cores in water depths ranging from 2,456-2,728 m. Bacterial communities were studied through sequencing of 16S rRNA gene on the Ion Torrent platform and clustered in operational taxonomic units. We observed high diversity of bacterial sediment communities as previously described by other studies. When we considered community composition, the most abundant classes were Alphaprotebacteria (27.7%), Acidimicrobiia (20%), Gammaproteobacteria (11.3%) and Deltaproteobacteria (6.6%). Most abundant OTUs at family level were from two uncultured bacteria from Actinomarinales (5.95%) and Kiloniellaceae (3.17%). The unexpected high abundance of Alphaproteobacteria and Acidimicrobiia in our deep-sea microbial communities may be related to the presence of asphalt seep at North São Paulo Plateau, since these bacterial classes contain bacteria that possess the capability of metabolizing hydrocarbon compounds.
