Scientists get grant to study Toxoplasma
Publicado em 02 novembro 2020
Researchers have been awarded a grant to help determine how disease caused by a parasite progresses in warm-blooded animals, and how it is transmitted in food.
A team from the United Kingdom and Brazil were given funding of around £500,000 ($650,000) from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council and the Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (BBSRC-FAPESP).
Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can infect all warm-blooded [...]

Gene-ius! Study looks at preventing foodborne Salmonella infection
Publicado em 04 março 2019Brazilian researchers are investigating which genes are important for the survival of Salmonella to help prevent foodborne infections in humans. The team from the School of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences at the State University of São Paulo (FCAV-UNESP) are looking at survival of the bacterial species Salmonella in the intestinal tract of poultry. Salmonella is able to use the inflammatory process it provokes as a source of energy to survive and multiply inside the gut. This is [...]ver notícia -
Researchers uncover Salmonella Typhimurium diversity in Brazil
Publicado em 15 novembro 2018Researchers in Brazil have found Salmonella is resistant to different classes of antibiotics and have identified genes responsible for that resistance. It was the first study of Salmonella Typhimurium strains isolated in Brazil that used Whole Genome Sequencing to access the genetic diversity and molecular bases of antimicrobial resistance. The variety and prevalence of resistant genes found in Salmonella Typhimurium strains reinforces their potential hazard for humans and the risk in foods [...]ver notícia
