O pensamento epidemiológico evolutivo sobre as infecções

Abstract: O objetivo do trabalho é analisar os principais aspectos dos conhecimentos epidemiológicos atuais sobre o estado evolutivo das infecções. Os organismos que constituem a biosfera formam sistemas dinâmicos que abrangem todo o planeta. Tais relacionamentos podem ser variáveis em intensidade. Alguns limitam-se à superfície orgânica, enquanto outros chegam à intimidade do genoma. Portanto, há de se concluir que o parasitismo constitui fenômeno muito comum na natureza. Os parasitos infectantes comunicam-se mediante … Show more

“…Aedes aegypti has been responsible for major epidemics around the world, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions . According to Forattinni, Ae. aegypti is an anthropophilic species and is very well adapted to urban environments, especially areas of human habitation.…”

“…In this context, the modulation of virulence mechanisms is essential to the development of opportunistic microorganisms (Tosta 2001). The close relationship between a parasite and its host sometimes drives adaptations in both organisms to promote their successful coexistence; in some cases, this process leads to the attenuation of virulence (Forattini 2001). …”

“…Virulence can be expressed through numerous mechanisms with the common goal of promoting the adhesion, penetration and multiplication of a parasite in the target tissue of its host (Forattini 2001). Studies of virulence in different species of pathogenic fungi have contributed to the understanding of the pathogenesis of the resulting infections.…”
