Incluindo os principais aspectos da virologia humana em um contexto de saúde global, o primeiro volume da Coleção BIo contribui para o conhecimento científico e para a compreensão de fenômenos relacionados à virologia, enfatizando a necessidade da integração homem-animal-meio ambiente-saúde. Os nove capítulos abordam aspectos relacionados a: biosse...

Although chronic hepatitis C has been effectively treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), the use of conventional therapy with peg-interferon (Peg-IFN) or (predominantly) ribavirin (RBV), remains widespread. R70Q/H and L/C91M amino acid substitutions in the hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein may modulate responses to IFN and/or RBV, and are...
This study aims to evaluate the epidemiological and molecular features associated with HAV transmission in adults in Rio de Janeiro during a period of increased registered cases of HAV (2017–2018). Socio-epidemiological data and serum samples from anti-HAV IgM+ individuals were obtained. HAV RNA was RT-PCR amplified and sequenced for further phylog...
Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is characterized by the detection of HBV DNA in serum or liver but negativity for HBsAg. OBI, which is thought to be maintained by host, immunological, viral and/or epigenetic factors, is one of the most challenging clinical features in the study of viral hepatitis. Currently, there is no validated detection test...
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the leading causes of acute and chronic hepatitis representing a serious public health threat. Cytokines are known to be important chemical mediators that regulate the differentiation, proliferation and function of immune cells and accumulating evidence indicate that the inadequate immune responses are responsi...
Immunotherapy has been shown to be highly effective in some types of cancer caused by viruses. Gene therapy involves insertion or modification of a therapeutic gene, to correct for inappropriate gene products that cause/may cause diseases. Both these types of therapy have been used as alternative ways to avoid cancers caused by oncoviruses. In this...
Background
The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the leading causes of acute, chronic and occult hepatitis (OBI) representing a serious public health threat. Cytokines are known to be important chemical mediators that regulate the differentiation, proliferation and function of immune cells. Accumulating evidence indicate that the inadequate immune...
Pregnant women are an important group to be monitored for infection due to the risk of transmitting infections to their babies. Both herpes simples virus (HSV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are neurotropic viruses that can be transmitted congenitally. In this study, the prevalence and risk factors of HSV among Zika‐positive and ‐negative pregnant women fro...
Objective:
Female sex workers (FSWs) are vulnerable to human alphaherpesvirus 2 (HSV-2) infection due to their high numbers of sexual partners. The objective of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence and risk behaviours associated with HSV-2.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A total of 376 FSWs...

Background: The Herpes simplex virus type 2, currently classified as Human alphaherpesvirus 2 (HSV-2) is the main cause of genital herpes, one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the world. STIs are one of the major public health problems in prisons due to the behaviors of prisoners and the factors that increase the risk...
