Tonhosolo R, Wunderlich G, Ferreira M
J Eukaryot Microbiol . 2001 Oct; 48(5):556-64. PMID: 11596920
The merozoite surface protein-2 (MSP-2) is a major vaccine candidate for the asexual blood stage of Plasmodium falciparum. MSP-2 is essentially dimorphic, and allelic families are named after the representative...

Brienze V, Tonon AP , Pereira F, Liso E, Tognola W, Dos Santos M, et al.
Rev Soc Bras Med Trop . 2001 Sep; 34(4):389-93. PMID: 11562736
Two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols showed low sensitivity (36% and 53% for TB AMPLICOR and MPB64 nested PCR, respectively), when compared with classic microbiological methods (73% and 54% for...

McKenzie F, Ferreira M, Baird J, Snounou G, BOSSERT W
Evolution . 2001 Aug; 55(7):1299-307. PMID: 11525454
We incorporate a representation of Plasmodium falciparum recombination within a discrete-event model of malaria transmission. We simulate the introduction of a new parasite genotype into a human population in which...

da Silveira L, Ribeiro W, Kirchgatter K, Wunderlich G, Matsuoka H, Tanabe K, et al.
J Eukaryot Microbiol . 2001 Jul; 48(4):433-9. PMID: 11456319
The merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) is a major vaccine candidate for the asexual blood stage of malaria. We examined both the extent of sequence diversity in block 17, the 3'...

Ferreira M, Ferreira C, Monteiro C
Rev Saude Publica . 2001 Jul; 34(6 Suppl):73-82. PMID: 11434323
Objective: Data from two consecutive household surveys undertaken in mid-80s and mid-90s allow to characterize and analyse secular trends in infant and child intestinal parasitic diseases in the city of...

Liu Q, Ferreira M, Ndawi B, Ohmae H, Adagu I, Morikawa T, et al.
Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health . 2001 Jun; 31(4):808-17. PMID: 11414433
Field isolates of Plasmodium falciparum collected from endemic areas of Southeast Asia, Solomon Islands, tropical African countries and Brazil were analyzed for the genetic diversity of the exon II of...

Putaporntip C, Jongwutiwes S, Tia T, Ferreira M, Kanbara H, Tanabe K
Gene . 2001 May; 268(1-2):97-104. PMID: 11368905
We analyzed 22 clinical isolates of Plasmodium vivax from Thailand and 17 from Brazil to investigate the extent of sequence variation in the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein of Plasmodium vivax (PvTRAP),...

Hoffmann E, da Silveira L, Tonhosolo R, Pereira F, Ribeiro W, Tonon A, et al.
Ann Trop Med Parasitol . 2001 Apr; 95(2):117-32. PMID: 11299119
The polymorphic merozoite surface protein-2 (MSP-2) of Plasmodium falciparum is a major malaria-vaccine candidate. In the present study, PCR and hybridization with allelic-specific probes were used to type the Msp-2...

Silva N, Silveira L, Machado R, Povoa M, Ferreira M
Ann Trop Med Parasitol . 2001 Jan; 94(7):675-88. PMID: 11144809
The polymorphic, merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) of Plasmodium falciparum, an antigen of the parasite's asexual blood-stages, is a major malaria-vaccine candidate. Nucleotide sequences of each variable domain or block of...

Cavasini M, Ribeiro W, Kawamoto F, Ferreira M
Rev Soc Bras Med Trop . 2000 Nov; 33(5):489-92. PMID: 11064586
We have compared results of Plasmodium species identification obtained with conventional on-site microscopy of Giemsa-stained thick smears (GTS) and a semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 96 malaria patients from...
