Resumo As arboviroses são endêmicas em vários países e representam um preocupante problema de saúde pública. A mais importante delas é a dengue, que teve um aumento progressivo do número de casos, atingindo a marca dos milhões de casos anuais no Brasil desde a última década. Outras arboviroses de importância para a saúde pública incluem a chikungunya e a Zika, ambas causas de epidemias recentes, e a Febre Amarela, que também tem causado surtos epidêmicos em nosso país. Assim como a maioria das doenças infecciosas, as arboviroses têm o potencial de acometer os rins, por meio de diversos mecanismos que levam à injúria renal, incluindo ação direta dos vírus, inflamação sistêmica, fenômenos hemorrágicos e outras complicações, além da toxicidade de drogas utilizadas no tratamento. Neste artigo de revisão, serão abordados os aspectos epidemiológicos das principais arboviroses no Brasil e em outros países onde estas doenças são endêmicas, os aspectos clínicos e as principais alterações laboratoriais encontradas, incluindo as alterações na função renal. Como as arboviroses se comportam nos pacientes transplantados renais também será descrito. Serão também descritos os mecanismos fisiopatológicos da injúria renal associada às arboviroses e, por fim, o tratamento recomendado para cada doença e as recomendações para o suporte renal neste contexto. dengue década Zika recentes Amarela país infecciosas rins vírus sistêmica complicações revisão encontradas descrito fim contexto

Abstract Arboviruses are endemic in several countries and represent a worrying public health problem. The most important of these diseases is dengue fever, whose numbers continue to rise and have reached millions of annual cases in Brazil since the last decade. Other arboviruses of public health concern are chikungunya and Zika, both of which have caused recent epidemics, and yellow fever, which has also caused epidemic outbreaks in our country. Like most infectious diseases, arboviruses have the potential to affect the kidneys through several mechanisms. These include the direct action of the viruses, systemic inflammation, hemorrhagic phenomena and other complications, in addition to the toxicity of the drugs used in treatment. In this review article, the epidemiological aspects of the main arboviruses in Brazil and other countries where these diseases are endemic, clinical aspects and the main laboratory changes found, including changes in renal function, are addressed. It also describes how arboviruses behave in kidney transplant patients. The pathophysiological mechanisms of kidney injury associated with arboviruses are described and finally the recommended treatment for each disease and recommendations for kidney support in this context are given. problem fever decade Zika epidemics country viruses inflammation complications article found function addressed patients given

Abstract Investigating the interplay of factors that result in a viral zoonotic outbreak is difficult, though it is increasingly important. As anthropogenic influences shift the delicate balance of ecosystems, new zoonoses emerge in humans. Sub-Saharan Africa is a notable hotspot for zoonotic disease due to abundant competent mammalian reservoir hosts. Furthermore, poverty, corruption, and an overreliance on natural resources play considerable roles in depleting biological resources, exacerbating the population's susceptibility. Unsurprisingly, viral zoonoses have emerged in Africa, including HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Avian influenza, Lassa fever, Zika, and Monkeypox. These diseases are among the principal causes of death in endemic areas. Though typically distinct in their manifestations, viral zoonoses are connected by underlying, definitive factors. This review summarises vital findings on viral zoonoses in Africa using nine notable case studies as a benchmark for future studies. We discuss the importance of ecological recuperation and protection as a central strategy to control zoonotic diseases. Emphasis was made on moderating key drivers of zoonotic diseases to forestall future pandemics. This is in conjunction with attempts to redirect efforts from reactive to pre-emptive through a multidisciplinary “one health” approach. difficult important ecosystems humans SubSaharan Sub Saharan hosts Furthermore poverty corruption populations population s susceptibility Unsurprisingly HIVAIDS HIV AIDS HIV/AIDS Ebola influenza fever Zika Monkeypox areas manifestations underlying pandemics preemptive pre emptive one health approach

Resumo Investigar a interação de fatores que resultam em um surto zoonótico viral é difícil, embora seja cada vez mais relevante. À medida que as influências antropogênicas mudam o delicado equilíbrio dos ecossistemas, novas zoonoses surgem em humanos. A África Subsaariana é um ponto crítico notável para doenças zoonóticas devido a abundantes reservatórios mamíferos competentes. Além disso, a pobreza, a corrupção e o excesso de confiança nos recursos naturais desempenham papéis consideráveis no esgotamento dos recursos biológicos, exacerbando a suscetibilidade da população. Sem surpresa, zoonoses virais surgiram na África, incluindo HIV/AIDS, Ebola, gripe aviária, febre de lassa, zika e varíola dos macacos. Essas doenças estão entre as principais causas de morte em áreas endêmicas. Apesar de serem tipicamente distintas em suas manifestações, as zoonoses virais estão conectadas por fatores subjacentes e definitivos. Esta revisão resume descobertas vitais sobre zoonoses virais na África usando nove estudos de caso notáveis como referência para estudos futuros. Discutimos a importância da recuperação e proteção ecológica como estratégia central para o controle de doenças zoonóticas.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate the frequency-following response (FFR) for sustained neural activity. Methods: 39 individuals, aged between 20 to 47 months old were divided into 2 groups: (i) 20 individuals without prenatal exposure to the congenital Zika syndrome (CZS) or hydrocephaly, normal development, no risk factors for hearing loss or syndromic hearing impairment and (ii) 19 individuals diagnosed with CZS and microcephaly - based on imaging studies linked to the clinical presentation of the condition. All participants exhibited normal click-ABR tests. FFR waveforms were documented using the /da/ syllable employing the Navigator Pro. The statistical analysis used was ANOVA (p-value <0.05). Results: no distinctions were observed concerning the variables of group, age, or gender with respect to FFR latency values, except for an interaction between gender and group for latency values associated with waves V and F. Children with CZS and microcephaly showed a difference for latency values in wave V for both males and females, when compared to the control group. Conclusion: children presented with CZS and microcephaly showed higher average latencies for waves V, A, C, D and F (male) compared to the control group, whereas, in waves E, F (female) and O they showed higher values in the control group.

ABSTRACT The emergence of insecticide resistance in different mosquito populations underscores the pressing need for alternative approaches to control vector-borne diseases. Among several technological strategies, the employment of bacterial symbionts, such as the Wolbachia pipientis strains wMel and wAlbB to inhibit the ability of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) to transmit dengue and Zika viruses in endemic regions worldwide is promising. This investigation examines both the bacterial diversity associated with Culex quinquefasciatus and the genetic diversity of Wolbachia in females collected in Coari, Amazonas State, Brazil. Both 16S rRNA and Wolbachia surface protein (wsp) gene sequences were generated and examined. Proteobacteria was the dominant phylum. Wolbachia was the predominant genus, followed by Providencia, unclassified Erwiniaceae, and Acinetobacter. The presence of Delftia in Cx. quinquefasciatus need further investigations to identify the strains and if any of them can inhibit the transmission of arboviruses by this mosquito. Wolbachia 16S rRNA sequences were detected in all samples analyzed. The wsp sequences from Coari specimens were identified as Wolbachia wPip strain of the supergroup B. These sequences are identical and share 100% similarity with those of other Cx. quinquefasciatus populations from Brazil. Our findings suggest the hypothesis of previous studies that the Wolbachia invasion in Cx. quinquefasciatus was recent. vectorborne vector borne diseases strategies symbionts Linnaeus, Linnaeus (Linnaeus 1762 promising State Brazil S (wsp examined phylum genus Providencia Erwiniaceae Acinetobacter Cx analyzed B 100 recent 176 10 17 1

ABSTRACT Brazil has been suffering a dengue (DENV) epidemic in 2019 and 2022 and records cases of Zika (ZIKV) and chikungunya (CHIKV). Londrina city, Paraná, stands out for the number of cases and deaths from dengue. Therefore, this study aimed to verify the density and diversity of mosquitoes present in urban public establishments of Londrina, to analyze their ecological relationships, and to investigate the presence of the DENV, ZIKV, and CHIKV. Ovitraps were installed in outdoor sites in two public establishments in each region of Londrina, while adult culicids were caught indoors with a Nasci aspirator. A total of 5077 eggs were obtained in 77 ovitraps. The South region had the highest infestation while the East had the lowest (Ovitrap Positivity Index: 38% and 25%; Egg Density Index: 67.83 and 19.03, respectively). From eggs, 704 Aedes aegypti females and 71 Aedes albopictus females were obtained, while in the aspiration of adults, 99 A. aegypti and 11 Culex quinquefasciatus were captured, the highest number in the West and the lowest in the North. The DENV-II virus was detected in a pool of 17 A. aegypti females in the West region. The results demonstrate high density of pathogen vector species, mainly A. aegypti, in and around establishments, alerting to the need for constant local entomological surveillance to prevent viral circulation, mainly in crowded places. The presence of A. albopictus around the establishments also alerts to the urbanization of the species and potential participation in the viral circulation, demonstrating the need for constant monitoring.

This study presents the synthesis and characterization of five Schiff bases derived from the reaction of 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulfonamide (compound 1) with corresponding aldehydes, (benzaldehyde, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde, 8-hydroxy2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde and 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde, for compounds 2-6, respectively). Characterization was performed by various spectroscopic techniques and supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The crystal structures revealed how the substituent groups influenced the present supramolecular interactions. Compounds 1-4 and 6 showed no cytotoxicity to BHK-21 and VERO E6 cells at the highest concentration of 50 µmol L-1, while compound 5 was cytotoxic at this concentration. Compound 5 was active against the Chikungunya virus at the concentration of 10 µmol L-1, highlighting the effect of the 8-hydroxyquinoline substituent for the antiviral activity. For Zika virus, compound 6 was the only one active at 50 µmol L-1. The results suggest the potential of combining sulfonamides with other chemotypes for further development of antiviral agents, especially in the treatment of arboviral diseases. 42aminoethylbenzenesulfonamide aminoethylbenzenesulfonamide 4 2 aminoethyl benzenesulfonamide 1 aldehydes benzaldehyde, benzaldehyde (benzaldehyde 2pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 2pyridinecarboxaldehyde pyridinecarboxaldehyde pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde 2quinolinecarboxaldehyde, 2quinolinecarboxaldehyde quinolinecarboxaldehyde quinolinecarboxaldehyde, 2-quinolinecarboxaldehyde 8hydroxy2quinolinecarboxaldehyde hydroxyquinolinecarboxaldehyde 8 hydroxy2 hydroxy 4imidazolecarboxaldehyde, 4imidazolecarboxaldehyde imidazolecarboxaldehyde imidazolecarboxaldehyde, 4-imidazolecarboxaldehyde 26, 26 6, 2-6 respectively. respectively . respectively) DFT (DFT calculations interactions 14 1- BHK21 BHK 21 BHK-2 E L1, L1 L 1, L-1 8hydroxyquinoline hydroxyquinoline activity L1. 1. agents diseases 2- BHK2 BHK- L-

ABSTRACT Objective: To detect spatial and spatiotemporal clusters of urban arboviruses and to investigate whether the social development index (SDI) and irregular waste disposal are related to the coefficient of urban arboviruses detection in São Luís, state of Maranhão, Brazil. Methods: The confirmed cases of Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya in São Luís, from 2015 to 2019, were georeferenced to the census tract of residence. The Bayesian Conditional Autoregressive regression model was used to identify the association between SDI and irregular waste disposal sites and the coefficient of urban arboviruses detection. Results: The spatial pattern of arboviruses pointed to the predominance of a low-incidence cluster, except 2016. For the years 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2019, an increase of one unit of waste disposal site increased the coefficient of arboviruses detection in 1.25, 1.09, 1.23, and 1.13 cases of arboviruses per 100 thousand inhabitants, respectively. The SDI was not associated with the coefficient of arboviruses detection. Conclusion: In São Luís, spatiotemporal risk clusters for the occurrence of arboviruses and a positive association between the coefficient of arbovirus detection and sites of irregular waste disposal were identified.

ABSTRACT Background: The riverine communities of the Amazon comprise different social groups that inhabit the rural areas on the banks of rivers and lakes. Residents usually travel by river to rural and urban areas and are then exposed to urbanized diseases such as those caused by arbovirus infection. In Brazil, emerging diseases such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and those caused by infection with Oropouche and Mayaro viruses necessitate epidemiological surveillance. This study was aimed at determining the frequency of positivity for immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM antibodies against Zika, chikungunya, and dengue viruses and performing molecular analyses to detect viral RNA for the Zika, chikungunya, dengue virus, Oropouche, and Mayaro viruses, in the same serum samples obtained from riverside populations. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a riverside population in the Humaitá municipality of the Brazilian Amazon. More than 80% of the local population participated in this study. Entomological samples were collected to identify local mosquito vectors. Results: Analysis of 205 human serological samples revealed IgG antibodies against the dengue virus in 85 individuals. No molecular positivity was observed in human samples. Entomological analyses revealed 3,187 Diptera species, with Mansonia being the most frequent genus. Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus were not detected in the two collections. Conclusions: IgG antibodies against the dengue virus were highly prevalent, suggesting previous exposure. The absence of the arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in the samples supports the hypothesis that the infections recorded likely occurred outside the riverside communities investigated.

ABSTRACT In Brazil, Dengue, Zika and Chikungunya viruses constitute a major threat to the public health system. Simultaneous circulation of these arboviruses occurs in many regions of the world due to the expansion of transmission vectors. The infection by these arboviruses triggers similar symptoms during their acute phase. However, in some cases, severe symptoms may occur, leading to different types of disabilities and even death. In this context, considering the similarity of the symptoms, the problems caused by the infection of these arboviruses, and the increasing risk of coinfection in humans, the differential diagnosis of these infections is essential for clinical management and epidemiological investigation. Thus, this study aimed to identify, through diagnosis via Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction with Reverse Transcription, arbovirus coinfection in patients from the Tocantins state (Northern Brazil). A total of 495 samples were analyzed, three from which were determined to be a coinfection of Dengue and Chikungunya viruses. The data obtained here indicate the co-circulation and coinfection by Dengue and Chikungunya viruses in the Tocantins state. These results highlight the importance of monitoring the circulation of these arboviruses for the development of health actions that aim their prevention and combat, as well as their clinical and therapeutic management.

Abstract Background: Arboviral diseases are a group of infectious diseases caused by viruses transmitted by arthropods, mainly mosquitoes. These diseases, such as those caused by the dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), chikungunya (CHIKV), and yellow fever (YFV) viruses, have a significant impact worldwide. In this context, entomological surveillance plays a crucial role in the control and prevention of arboviruses by providing essential information on the presence, distribution, and activity of vector mosquitoes. Based on entomological surveillance, transovarian transmission provides information regarding the maintenance and dissemination of arboviruses. The objective of this study was to detect these arboviruses in Goiânia, Goiás, and analyze the occurrence of transovarian transmission. Methods: Aedes aegypti eggs were collected from different regions of Goiânia and cultivated under controlled laboratory conditions until the emergence of adult mosquitoes. Adult females were grouped into pools containing their heads and thoraxes. These pools were subsequently evaluated using reverse-transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. Results: A total of 157 pools (N=1570) were analyzed, with two pools testing positive for CHIKV and one pool testing positive for ZIKV, indicating that the offspring resulting from transovarian transmission are potentially infectious. Conclusions: In summary, the demonstration of the vertical transmission mechanisms of CHIKV and ZIKV in A. aegypti serves as an alert to health authorities, as these diseases are still underreported, and their primary urban vector has likely acquired this capacity, contributing to the dissemination of these infections.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne virus that has emerged as a major public health concern due to its association with severe neurological disorders. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in exploring natural products as potential therapeutics for ZIKV infection. This study aimed to predict the binding affinity of natural compounds to the ZIKV NS2B-NS3 protease (NS2B-NS3pro) using multiple molecular docking algorithms and semiempirical quantum mechanical methods. Our results demonstrate that semiempirical methods can improve the accuracy of molecular docking studies for natural compounds. In this particular case, the PM7 (Parametric Method Number 7) method showed a significant improvement in the coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.85). We expect this combined approach to aid in the development of natural product-based therapies for ZIKV infection and to highlight the importance of continued research in this field.

ABSTRACT Synthetic chemical insecticides are widely used in population control of pests. Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever to humans, and has proven resistance to chemical insecticides. As an alternative vector control method, the ethanolic extract of the leaves of Piper peltatum L. (Piperaceae) showed larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti. Despite the wide medicinal use of this plant, the biological activity of its isolated constituents remains unexplored. In this sense, we isolated, identified and evaluated the larvicidal activity of 4-nerolidylcatechol (4-NC) from P. peltatum against Ae. aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles darlingi, focusing on the larvicidal, adulticidal and genotoxic potential of 4-NC on Ae. aegypti. Larvae were captured in the city of Manaus, Amazonas state, Brazil. 4-NC was isolated from the extract of the leaves of P. peltatum via silica gel chromatography. This was identified using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and tested in Artemia franciscana (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL). In the toxicity bioassay, Ae. aegypti larvae were exposed to 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 µg/mL of 4-NC, while Cx. quinquefasciatus and An. darlingi were exposed to 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 µg/mL. Ae. aegypti larvae were also subjected to 40 and 60 µg/mL of 4-NC (genotoxicity bioassay), and adult females to 62.5 to 1,000 µg/mL (adulticidal bioassay). The results of the 4-NC toxicity assays showed that there was 100% mortality in larvae of Ar. franciscana at the concentration of 200 µg/mL, with an LC50 of 8.0 μg/mL. In the larvae of Ae. aegypti, mortality was 100%, with an LC50 of 62 μg/mL. In larvae of Cx. quinquefasciatus, 97% mortality occurred, with an LC50 of 52.3 μg/mL, and in An. darlingi larvae there was an 83% mortality rate, with an LC50 of 55.8 μg/mL. In adults of Ae. aegypti, however, there was no adulticidal activity. In the larvae of Ae. aegypti, the genotoxic effect of 4-NC (40 and 60 µg/mL) showed significant frequency (p < 0.05) of cellular abnormalities (micronuclei, budding and nuclear bridges) of interphasic nuclei of neuroblasts and oocytes in relation to the negative control. This result may be associated with a decrease in oviposition of females, which was observed in two generations. We can confirm that 4-NC has larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti, Cx. quinquefasciatus and An. darlingi. Although it does not present adulticidal activity in Ae. aegypti, it reduced the oviposition of females. Therefore, 4-NC seems to be a strong candidate for the development of an alternative method for the control of these mosquitoes in the immature phase. pests dengue Zika humans L Piperaceae (Piperaceae Ae plant unexplored sense 4nerolidylcatechol nerolidylcatechol 4 4NC NC (4-NC P Manaus state Brazil chromatography 625 6 25 (6.25 125 12 5 12.5 10 20 µgmL . µg mL bioassay 30 70 90 11 4NC, NC, Cx An 6.25 genotoxicity , bioassay) 62. 1000 1 000 1,00 bioassay.
