      This experiment aimed to verify if the proteins present in a 13th day conceptus induce changes in the equine endometrial ultra-structure, histology, and vascularization, two days after its infusion. Ten healthy cyclic mares ...
    • Prediction of novel drug targets and vaccine candidates against human lice (insecta), acari (Arachnida), and their associated pathogens 

      Ali, Abid; Ahmad, Shabir; Albuquerque, Pedro Machado Medeiros de; Kamil, Atif; Alshammari, Fahdah Ayed; Alouffi, Abdulaziz; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva (2022) [Artigo de periódico]
      The emergence of drug-resistant lice, acari, and their associated pathogens (APs) is associated with economic losses; thus, it is essential to find new appropriate therapeutic approaches. In the present study, a subtractive ...
    • Putative target sites in synganglion for novel ixodid tick control strategies 

      Waldman, Jéssica; Klafke, Guilherme M.; Tirloni, Lucas; Logullo, Carlos; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva (2023) [Artigo de periódico]
      Acaricide resistance is a global problem that has impacts worldwide. Tick populations with broad resistance to all commercially available acaricides have been reported. Since resistance selection in ticks and their role ...
    • Rabbits as animal models for anti-tick vaccine development : a global scenario 

      Rodríguez Durán, Arlex; Ullah, Shafi; Parizi, Luis Fernando; Ali, Abid; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva (2023) [Artigo de periódico]
      Studies evaluating candidate tick-derived proteins as anti-tick vaccines in natural hosts have been limited due to high costs. To overcome this problem, animal models are used in immunization tests. The aim of this article ...
    • Retenção de placenta no proteinograma de vacas Holandesas 

      Saut, João Paulo Elsen; Miyashiro, Samantha Ive; Raimondo, Raquel Fraga e Silva; Nunes, Mariana Tikuma; Mori, Clara Satsuki; Fagliari, Jose Jurandir; Birgel Junior, Eduardo Harry (2014) [Artigo de periódico]
      Com o objetivo de avaliar a infl uência da retenção de placenta (RP) no proteinograma de fêmeas bovinas da raça Holandesa, de propriedades comerciais, foram utilizadas 129 vacas com RP e 145 vacas com parto e pós-parto fi ...
    • Tick-host range adaptation : changes in protein profiles in unfed adult Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum saliva stimulated to feed on different hosts 

      Tirloni, Lucas; Kim, Tae Kwon; Pinto, Antonio Frederico Michel; Yates III, John R.; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva; Mulenga, Albert (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      Understanding the molecular basis of how ticks adapt to feed on different animal hosts is central to understanding tick and tick-borne disease (TBD) epidemiology. There is evidence that ticks differentially express specific ...
    • Universal tick vaccines : candidates and remaining challenges 

      Parizi, Luis Fernando; Githaka, Naftaly Wang'ombe; Logullo, Carlos; Zhou, Jinlin; Onuma, Misao; Termignoni, Carlos; Vaz Junior, Itabajara da Silva (2023) [Artigo de periódico]
      Recent advancements in molecular biology, particularly regarding massively parallel sequencing technologies, have enabled scientists to gain more insight into the physiology of ticks. While there has been progress in ...
    • Uterine infusion of conceptus fragments changes the protein profile from cyclic mares 

      Camacho Rozo, Cesar Augusto; Santos, Gabriel de Oliveira; Caballeros Haeussler, Jorge Emilio; Cazales Penino, Nicolas; Ramírez López, Camilo José; Vidigal, Pedro Marcus Pereira; Ramos, Humberto Josué de Oliveira; Barros, Edvaldo; Mattos, Rodrigo Costa (2020) [Artigo de periódico]
      This experiment aimed to compare at day seven after ovulation, the protein profile of uterine fluid in cyclic mares with mares infused two days before with Day 13 conceptus fragments. Experimental animals were ten healthy ...
