Abstract:

Malaria is a parasitic disease that is caused by the plasmodium parasite. Plasmodium infection has affected man for thousands of years. With advances in drug discovery over the past century, malaria has evolved to possess resistance to most mainline therapeutics. This war of drug discovery vs plasmodium evolution continues to be fought to this very day, with attempts to eradicate malaria worldwide. Frontline treatments such as chloroquine, artemisinin, and atovaquone/proguanil have all seen parasitic resistance in strains of P. vivax as well as P. falciparum. While plasmodium possesses resistance to most classes of anti-malarials, the 8-aminoquinoline (8-AQ) class has seen minimal resistance development. 8-AQs have been shown to be effective against erythrocytic and exo-erythrocytic forms of plasmodium, and are often given in combination with a blood schizonticide such as chloroquine or artemisinin. These combinations clear all forms of plasmodium infection. With 8-AQs unique set of anti-malarial properties and the advent of increased drug resistance to other drugs, much research is being done to understand 8-AQs mechanism of action and toxicity. 8-AQ use is limited due to inducing extreme hemolytic anemia in those with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency. Primaquine is the only 8-AQ molecule available on the market with tafenoquine, an analog primaquine, currently in phase III clinical trials. It is believed that if the mechanism of action and toxicity of the 8-AQs are understood, then we can create new generation anti-malarials that will maintain the unique action of 8-AQs while reducing their toxicity. Studies have shown that 8-AQ mechanism of action has been attributed to the generation of unstable metabolites that induce ROS production in the parasite, as well as mitochondrial swelling. While there is some evidence suggesting molecular targets of 8-AQs, the actual target is still unknown. When 8-AQs is given in combination with chloroquine, a synergistic effect is observed. While chloroquine has no activity against liver stages, it still somehow potentiates primaquine’s activity in those stages. This mechanism of synergy in liver stages is not well understood, and its understanding can give us increased understanding of basic plasmodium biology in the liver. Additionally, more information about the mechanisms of action of both chloroquine and primaquine could be elucidated. Tagging drugs with fluorescent probes is a technique that can give much information about the drug’s pharmacological activity in vitro, and sometimes in vivo as well. Such an approach has been used for various disease states such as HIV and cancer. Malaria is no exception; fluorescent probes of artemisinin and chloroquine have been used to examine resistance mechanisms to both molecules. In addition to 8-AQs, there are other older antimalarials that have received attention recently due to increases in resistance. Menoctone, a hydroxynapthoquinone that subsequently lead to the discovery of atovaquone, has recently gained increased attention because of its similarities to atovaquone. Research surrounding menoctone was abandoned due to the discovery of more efficacious compounds. Similar to 8-AQs, understanding the mechanisms of action and resistance to menoctone could give us much more information about plasmodium responses to this class of compounds. This understanding could potentially lead to the discovery of novel therapeutics. To understand mechanisms of action and synergy of 8-AQs, we report the creation of novel fluorescent probes of the 8-AQ molecules primaquine and tafenoquine. The organic synthesis was designed and characterization was confirmed by NMR and high resolution mass spectra, and the fluorescent properties were examined using absorbance and steady-state emission experiments. We found that the anti-malarial, anti-leishmaniasis, and cytotoxic properties of these novel probes were similar to the parent compounds. These probes localized in the cytoplasm of infected parasites in vitro. We also attempted to view their localization in liver stage infection, and investigated the synergistic combination of 8-AQs with chloroquine and quinine. Menoctone resistance was induced in vivo to determine mechanisms of resistance. Cross resistance to atovaquone was observed, and the mutation responsible for resistance was also found.

Full text

Abstract:

Aquatic pollution from urban and industrial effluents represents a growing area of concern. The number and volume of xenobiotic chemicals in aquatic ecosystems is alarmingly high, due in part to increasing globalization and the associated demands. Invertebrates, in particular molluscs, represent species of great commercial importance and can therefore fail to be considered in terms of their significance in the transmission of human disease. Schistosoma mansoni is a trematode parasite transmitted to humans by aquatic snails of the genus Biomphalaria. S.mansoni infects up to 200 million people globally and transmission primarily occurs in developing countries with poor infrastructure, factors which also happen to be associated with high levels of aquatic pollution. Despite the medical importance of S.mansoni and its occurrence in potentially polluted environments, very few attempts have been made to study this parasite-host relationship in the context of ecotoxicology. In this thesis I have applied both adapted and novel approaches in order to combine the fields of parasitology and ecotoxicology toward a better understanding of the effects of globally-prevalent xenobiotic chemicals on the S.mansoni-B.glabrata relationship. In vitro assays, with various end-points, were performed based on exposure of hemocytes, the primary immune effector cells of molluscs, while whole snails were developmentally exposed to an effluent extract and subsequently infected as part of an in vivo study. Taken together, my results suggest that the immunocompetance of B.glabrata hemocytes is broadly reduced in the presence of DDE, BPA, E2 and an effluent extract; chemicals that occur at high levels in transmission countries. Reduction in the key hemocyte functions of motility, phagocytosis and encapsulation, caused by exposure to these chemicals, appears to be exacerbated by subsequent S.mansoni infection which results in an opportunity for increased parasite shedding. My hope is that this broad work will serve as a reference and facilitate more focused studies, particularly of a molecular and epidemiological nature, into what is an understudied and potentially very important topic with the potential for human health implications.

Abstract:

The Hygiene Hypothesis and Old Friends Hypothesis focus attention on the coevolutionary relationship between humans and pathogens, positing that reduced pathogen exposure in economically developed nations is responsible for immune dysregulation and associated increases in chronic inflammation, allergy, and autoimmunity. Despite progress in testing these ideas, few studies have examined these relationships among populations undergoing the transition from traditional to more market-based lifestyles. The present study tests relationships between economic development and social change, altered infectious disease exposure, and immune function among the Shuar forager-horticulturalists of Amazonian Ecuador, a population undergoing rapid economic change associated with increased market participation. Using stool samples to assess soil-transmitted helminth (STHs; parasitic intestinal worms) burden, dried blood spot measurement of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP), and interviews to evaluate level of market integration (MI; the suite of social and cultural changes associated with rapid economic development) and disgust sensitivity, this dissertation tests the Hygiene and Old Friends Hypotheses. The first study tests relationships between STH exposure and MI, using geographic location in relation to the regional market center as a proxy for MI. This study documents lower rates of STHs in people living in more market integrated regions. The second study tests the coevolutionary role that STHs and other pathogens have played in shaping human psychology and behavior. Findings suggest that pathogen exposure has acted as a selective pressure, resulting in evolved disgust sensitivity toward pathogen related stimuli. This study provides evidence that disgust sensitivity is calibrated to local environments, acting to decrease STH exposure. The third study tests the role of STHs in immune function. CRP was positively related to age in uninfected individuals. No relationships existed for more traditionally living or infected individuals. These findings suggest that STH exposure may decrease the risk of developing chronic inflammation and associated diseases with advancing age. These studies provide support for the idea that STHs provide stimuli that decrease chronic inflammation, suggesting that altered intestinal microflora in developed nations may be partially responsible for the development of chronic inflammatory disorders like allergy and autoimmunity. This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished coauthored material.

Abstract:

Malaria is a treatable communicable disease yet remains a common cause of death and disease especially among pregnant women and children. Most of malaria's worldwide burden disproportionately lies in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Western medicine's 100+ year history of combating Plasmodium falciparum has taught us that the global population of malaria parasites has a unique and dangerous ability to rapidly evolve and spread drug resistance. Recently it was documented that resistance to the first-line antimalarial artemisinin may be developing in Southeast Asia.

Abstract:

Malaria is a devastating global health issue that affects approximately 200 million people yearly and over half a million deaths are caused by this parasitic protozoan disease. Most commercially available drugs only target the blood stage form of the parasite, but the only way to ensure proper elimination is to treat the exoerythrocytic stages of the parasite development cycle. There is a demand for the discovery of new liver stage antimalarial compounds as there are only two current FDA approved drugs for the treatment of liver stage parasites, one of which fails to eliminate dormant forms and the other inducing hemolytic anemia in patients with G6PD deficiency. In efforts to address the dire need for liver stage drugs, we developed a high-throughput liver stage drug-screening assay to identify liver stage active compounds from a wide variety of chemical libraries with known blood stage activity. The liver stage screen led us to further investigate an old, abandoned compound known as menoctone. Menoctone was developed as a liver stage active antimalarial, however, the development of more potent compounds led to the abandonment of further menoctone research. Our research demonstrated that resistant parasites can transmit mutations through mosquitoes, which was previously believed to not be possible. Furthermore, we studied a novel genetic marker that may indicate potential resistance against malaria parasite infection and the cytotoxic effects associated with the disease. Future experiments aim to identify and advance our methods for the elimination of Plasmodium exoerythrocytic parasites.

Abstract:

The virulence of Plasmodium falciparum is largely attributed to the ability of asexual blood-stage parasites to cytoadhere to the microvascular endothelium of the human host. This pathogenic behavior is mediated by the primary parasite virulence factor P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), an understanding of which is crucial to develop interventions to ameliorate the morbidity and mortality of P. falciparum malaria. The work presented in this thesis describes the application of a phenotype-to-genotype experimental approach to identify novel parasite proteins involved in the trafficking and display of PfEMP1. Guided by the overall hypothesis that the in vitro culture-adapted parasite line 3D7 harbors 1 or more genetic determinants of impaired PfEMP1 trafficking, surface PfEMP1 levels were first measured in 3D7, the presumably trafficking-competent parasite line HB3, and 16 unique progeny from an HB3 x 3D7 genetic cross (chapter 2). These phenotypes were then combined with genome-wide SNP data in QTL analysis to identify genetic polymorphisms potentially responsible for the impaired trafficking in 3D7 (chapter 3). A near-significant QTL containing a single protein-coding gene, the putative kinesin Pf3D7_1245600, was identified, characterized, and investigated in CRISPR-Cas9-driven allele-exchange parasite transfection experiments to establish a causal link between the gene and PfEMP1 trafficking (chapter 4). The parasite transfections were unsuccessful, but the potential role of Pf3D7_1245600 in PfEMP1 trafficking was indirectly assessed through the disruption of microtubules with colchicine (chapter 4), which significantly impacted the surface PfEMP1 levels of HB3 but not 3D7. The findings of this thesis suggest that kinesins and microtubules may play previously unconsidered roles in the regulation, production, or trafficking of PfEMP1.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar o ensino da Parasitologia na graduação das universidades chilenas a partir de docentes coordenadores da disciplina. Deste modo, procurou-se delinear objetivos, conteúdos, estratégias de ensino e avaliação das propostas curriculares, bem como, conhecer os docentes responsáveis por este ensino. Esta pesquisa tem um caráter descritivo e foi realizada a partir de uma abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa em seis das 13 universidades chilenas que têm turmas formadas no curso de Medicina: três de caráter público e três de caráter privado. Foram aplicados questionários a seis docentes coordenadores da Disciplina de Parasitologia e foram analisados os planos de ensino da disciplina. Os dados foram analisados pela técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Constatamos que a Parasitologia esta sendo inserida no ciclo básico na maioria dos cursos de medicina a partir do terceiro ano da graduação. Por outro lado, observamos que os cenários de aprendizagem utilizados, em todos os casos analisados correspondem à sala de aula e o laboratório de aulas práticas. Verificamos que existe uma valorização do desenvolvimento cognitivo no processo de aprendizagem com ênfase nas características biológicas e clínicas das parasitoses. Entre as estratégias utilizadas no ensino da Parasitologia, concluímos que a principal ferramenta utilizada é a aula expositiva e a Aprendizagem Baseada em Problemas (ABP). Discutiu-se também alguns traços do perfil dos docentes. Observamos que os docentes responsáveis pela Disciplina de Parasitologia apresentam uma formação heterogênea e a maior parte dos docentes realizou pós-graduação, sendo Doutores e Mestres. Em relação aos atributos considerados mais relevantes para o exercício da docência na área, os docentes coordenadores indicaram que o bom professor, alem de apresentar amplo conhecimento científico e técnico na área, deve ser um bom transmissor de conhecimentos e motivar a auto-aprendizagem do aluno. Acreditamos que este estudo venha mostrar a importância do ensino da Parasitologia no currículo integral da formação do médico. De igual forma dará indícios para melhorar a qualidade e aperfeiçoamento do ensino da Parasitologia.
The purpose of this work is to obtain an insight on Parasitology Teaching carried out at Chilean universities. This is a descriptive research based on academic information provided by teachers which considered the objectives, contents, teaching strategies, curriculum evaluation and staff from three private and three public Chilean universities where Parasitology is part of the Medical School curricula. Questionnaires were applied to all six teaching coordinators and the Parasitology programs were compared. The information obtained was analyzed using a Contents Analyses technique. We have confirmed that Parasitology courses are given at the third year of studies. In most cases, the course is part of the basic cycle and the classroom and laboratories were the learning space. Cognitive development was valuable for the student learning process with emphasis on the biological and clinical characteristics of parasitoses. Expositive classes and problem-based learning were the main teaching strategies. Parasitology teacher’s profiles are also provided. Teachers showed a heterogeneous academic background and most of them have postgraduate studies. The most highly valued attributes for a Parasitology teacher were a wide scientific and technical knowledge of the discipline, the capability to transfer knowledge and to convey motivation for autonomous learning. We think this work will contribute to a better understanding on the teaching-learning process and will also provide insights for improving the quality of the Parasitology teaching process on Medical Schools.

Abstract:

There is an urgent need for improvements to existing vaccine delivery technologies to run parallel with the development of new-generation vaccines. The burdens of needle-based immunisation strategies are exacerbated by poor resource provision in such areas as sub-Saharan Africa, where annual malaria mortality stands at 860,000. Needle-free delivery of vaccine to the skin holds promise for improved immunogenicity with lower doses of vaccine, in addition to significant logistical advantages. Various methods have been described for the transcutaneous delivery of vaccines, including the use of microneedles to overcome the outer stratum corneum of the skin for efficient delivery of liquid or solid, microneedle-coated vaccines into underlying strata rich in antigen-presenting cells. This thesis aims to evaluate two transcutaneous silicon microneedle and microprojection patch technologies for the delivery of live recombinant Adenovirus and Modified Vaccinia Ankara-vectored vaccines encoding pre-erythrocytic malaria antigens in mice. Cellular immunogenicity directed against a well-documented epitope of the Plasmodium berghei circumsporozoite protein is evaluated, as is protection against lethal P. berghei sporozoite challenge. Immunological and logistical benefits of each technology are assessed, as well as mechanisms underlying differences in the generation of a patch-induced immune response to vaccination. These data inform the future development of transcutaneous microneedle patches for the delivery of live vaccine.

Abstract:

Drug resistance is a significant challenge in the fight against malaria. Importantly, reduced efficacy has been reported against artemether (ATM)/Lumefantrine (LM) (LM-ATM), amodiaquine (AQ)/artesunate (AS) (AQ-AS), two important combination treatment regimens in Africa, and against piperaquine (PQ), a drug which has been evaluated as a potential alternative in Africa, in combination with dihydroarteminisin (DHA). Chloroquine (CQ) resistance in P.falciparum is associated with two main transporters PfCRT and PfMDR1. I investigated the mechanisms of resistance to PQ, LM and AQ, with the overall goal of identifying molecular markers that can be used to track resistance. I used CQ as a reference. The key antimalarial drugs were highly active against clinical isolates from Kilifi, Kenya with median inhibitory concentrations (IC₅₀s) of <5nM for DHA and <55 nM for CQ, AQ, PQ, LM and DEAQ (desethylamodiaquine, the active metabolite of AQ). pfcrt-76 and pfmdr1-86 mutations were associated with AQ, DEAQ and LM but not DHA or PQ activity. Interestingly, > 20% of analysed isolates had decreased susceptibility to LM (IC₅₀ >100nM); these isolates were the most susceptible to CQ and carried wild type genotypes at pfcrt-76 and pfmdr1-86. I observed that CQ resistance had been declining in Kilifi since 1993 (prior to CQ withdrawal) to 2006 (7 years after its withdrawal), similar to observations in Malawi. My results support the hypothesis that susceptibility to antimalarial drugs returns when drug pressure is removed, and suggest that the use of LM-ATM may hasten the return of CQ susceptibility. Continued monitoring of drug susceptibility is crucial. pfcrt-76 and pfmdr1-86 may be useful molecular markers of LM-ATM efficacy in Kilifi and other African sites. Using a microarray approach, I identified additional genes (including various transporters) that may contribute to LM resistance. I recommend further studies to clarify the exact roles of the identified genes.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this chapter Taylor-Pirie examines how parasitologists invoked myths of British nationhood in their professional self-fashioning to frame themselves as knights of science fighting on behalf of Imperial Britain. Analysing scientific lectures, political speeches, letter correspondence, obituaries, medical biographies, and journalistic essays, she draws attention to the prominence of Arthurian legend and Greco-Roman mythology in conceptualisations of parasitology, arguing that such literary-linguistic practices sought to reimagine the relationship between medicine and empire by adapting historical and poetic models of chivalry. In this way, individual researchers were lionised as national heroes and their research framed as labour that could command the longevity of legendary stories like those recounted in Homeric poems and medieval romance. In acclimatisation debates, the tropics were frequently conceptualised in relation to the Greek Underworld, a suite of references that together with dragon slaying and the quest narrative helped to position parasitology as a type of ‘crusading fiction’ in the context of the Victorian medieval revival.

AbstractIn this chapter, Taylor-Pirie traces the cultural encounters between the parasitologist and the scientific detective in the medico-popular imagination, revealing how such meetings helped to embed the figure of the doctor-detective in public understandings of science. Parasitologists like Ronald Ross and David Bruce were routinely reported in newspapers using detective fiction’s most famous archetype: Sherlock Holmes, a frame of reference that blurred the boundaries between romance and reality. Recognising the continued cultural currency of Holmesian detection in clinical and diagnostic medicine, she re-immerses the ‘great detective’ and his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle, in the literary-historical contexts of the fin de siècle, demonstrating how material and rhetorical entanglements between criminality, tropical medicine, and empire constructed the microscopic world as new kind of colonial encounter.

These modes jointly constructed the colonial encounter as a feat of manly endurance, using the linguistic enjoinment of medicine and exploration to frame parasitologists as modern heroes. Examining the influence of Thomas Carlyle’s conceptualisation of the heroic in history and imperial cartography as a strategy of representation, she demonstrates how tropical illness became a subject associated with pioneers, poets, and prophets, mapped onto the larger field of empire by the adventure mode. Through close readings of Henry Seton Merriman’s With Edged Tools (1894), John Masefield’s Multitude and Solitude (1909), and Joseph Hocking’s The Dust of Life (1915), she demonstrates the utility of forms like the ‘soldier hero’ and ‘imperial hunter’ in elaborating masculine citizenship in the context of tropical illness and ‘muscular Christianity’.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this introduction, Taylor-Pirie appraises the intersections of the ‘imaginative architecture of science and empire’ by examining how, as a fledging medical discipline at the fin de siècle, parasitology entered into significant encounters and exchanges with the literary and historical imagination. Introducing readers to Nobel Prize–winning parasitologist Ronald Ross (1857–1932), Taylor-Pirie lays the foundations for the rest of the book by examining how forms such as poetry and biography, genres such as imperial romance and detective fiction, and modes such as adventure and the Gothic together informed how tropical diseases, their parasites, and their vectors were understood in relation to race, gender, and nation. In addition to considering the contemporaneous public understanding of science, she also explores how parasitologists were often engaged in writing their own histories of the discipline, a practice that led to a predominantly white, predominantly male understanding of science that finds a legacy in gender disparities in STEM and biases in popular histories of medicine in favour of a mode of ‘heroic biography’. She provides a brief critical overview of the field of literature and science and places her methodology and the field in the context of contemporary topics like the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests, and the heritage culture wars.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: Pityriasis versicolor or Tinea versicolor is a skin disease caused by the Malassezia furfur which is often found in Indonesia. People can use anti-fungal drugs to treat this disease. However, long-term use of anti-fungal drugs is relatively more expensive and can have side effects for its users. Cocoa bean husk contains flavonoids, saponins, and alkaloids which have anti-fungal effects. This study aimed to determine the antifungal effectiveness of the cocoa bean husk extract on the growth of M. furfur. Subjects and Methods: This was an experimental study using cocoa bean husk extract with a concentration variance of 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, with a positive control for ketoconazole 2% and a negative control using distilled water. The test was carried out by the well diffusion method using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar media. The inhibition of fungal growth was calculated by looking at the clear zone formed after 48 hours. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Post hoc Mann Whitney statistical tests. Results: The mean diameter of the inhibition zone at a concentration of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% was 3.42 mm, 4.07 mm, 4.9 mm, and 7.3 mm, respectively, and it was statistically significant (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Cocoa bean husk extract has weak anti-fungal effectiveness at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%, while at 100% it has moderate effectiveness. Keywords: antifungal, Pityriasis versicolor, cocoa bean shell, well diffusion, Malassezia furfur Correspondence: Yuni Setyaningsih.

Abstract:

Introdução: Diante do cenário emergencial atual, com a pandemia do COVID-19 e o distanciamento social, como medida preventiva, Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) interromperam o aprendizado presencial oferecido aos estudantes e adquiriram o Regime Letivo Remoto (RLR). Logo, foi implementado um novo modelo de ensino para melhorar essa forma de aprendizado, através de metodologias ativas de ensino, tal modelo foi adotado na disciplina de Parasitologia, iniciando com o conteúdo sobre o Ascaris lumbricoides. Objetivo: Analisar novos métodos pedagógicos de ensino para a disciplina de Parasitologia, na pandemia do Covid-19, com enfoque na metodologia ativa de ensino. Materiais e métodos: Durante o semestre de 2020.2, as aulas da disciplina de Parasitologia foram reformuladas. Inicialmente, a docente responsável pela disciplina, começava com uma aula teórica de 50 minutos sobre o conteúdo do dia (o foco desse trabalho foi para o A. lumbricoides), em seguida, era aplicada a clínica interativa, destacando o diagnóstico clínico e laboratorial da ascaridíase. Para finalização da aula era aplicada uma atividade na forma de jogo, elaborada pelos monitores, sob a supervisão da docente sobre o parasita. O jogo foi elaborado através da plataforma Google Meet. A turma de Medicina do 3 período da UNICAP, foi dividida em 4 grupos de 13 alunos. A atividade foi intitulada de “MemoriÁscaris” e se baseou no jogo da memória onde os alunos deveriam seguir 3 etapas: selecionar duas imagens iguais, analisá-las e responder uma pergunta sobre o tema. Ao todo foram selecionadas 10 perguntas que abordavam a problematização da ascaridíase, aplicação na vida real, diagnóstico clínico e laboratorial, ciclo do parasita e medidas profiláticas efetivas. Foram utilizadas imagens do atlas virtual de Parasitologia sendo excluídas aquelas que não apresentavam boa resolução ou relevância para o assunto. Resultados: Todos os alunos da referida turma participaram da atividade, obtendo 100% de acerto nas questões presentes na avaliação somativa sobre o assunto e externaram a importância de metodologias ativas no êxito de seus aprendizados. Conclusão: A metodologia ativa aplicada na disciplina de Parasitologia, exposição oral, clínica interativa e atividade na forma de jogo “MemoriÁscaris” mostrouse eficaz no aprendizado dos alunos, além de ter estimulado uma participação ativa na construção do conhecimento.

Abstract:

Introdução: A esquistossomose mansônica (EM), enfermidade parasitária desencadeada pelo helminto Schistosoma mansoni, permanece como uma importante doença no contexto da saúde pública brasileira. Com efeito, o conhecimento sobre o diagnóstico, as possibilidades terapêuticas, farmacológicas ou não, a epidemiologia e as medidas de profilaxia e controle tornam-se extremamente importantes para o clínico. Objetivo: Por se tratar de manifestações clínicas durante sua evolução, a esquistossomose mansônica (EM) assemelha-se a inúmeras outras doenças, dificultando o diagnóstico, retardando o tratamento e a notificação da parasitose. Para tal, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura utilizando as bases Scielo (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) e PubMed (National Library of Medicine). Material e métodos: No diagnóstico parasitológico é fundamental o exame de fezes, com especial importância para as técnicas de Lutz e Kato-Katz, esta última um método quantitativo, com grande aplicabilidade na inferência da carga parasitária, detectando a presença de ovos nas fezes, o que ocorre após o 45º dia de infecção. Resultados: O exame de fezes possui baixa sensibilidade, as infecções por S. mansoni com pequena carga parasitária. Recomendam-se a realização de exames laboratoriais com um mínimo de três amostras sequenciais de fezes, coletadas em dias distintos, com intervalo máximo de 10 dias entre a primeira e a última coleta. Conclusão: Os exames laboratoriais e a avaliação por métodos complementares são essenciais para a detecção e mensuração do comprometimento orgânico causado pelo S. mansoni, destacando-se os métodos parasitológicos, imunológicos e os de imagem. É importante conhecer os elementos atinentes ao diagnóstico clínico e laboratorial, bem como ao tratamento, à epidemiologia, à profilaxia e ao controle da SM aspecto extremamente relevante para a condução dos pacientes vitimados pela doença.

Abstract:

Introdução: As doenças enteroparasitárias simbolizam um problema de saúde pública no Brasil. Diversos estudos indicam que as crianças são as mais afetadas principalmente devido a questões de higiene e imunidade, sendo notório sua prevalência. Objetivo: Analisar os dados das principais pesquisas existentes no Brasil sobre enteroparasitoses entre pré-escolares, destacando as mais frequentes e relacioná-las com aspectos sociais, econômicos e culturais. Material e métodos: Este estudo utilizou a revisão sistemática para analisar os principais artigos publicados entre 1990 e 2019 nas bases de dados PubMed, Google Acadêmico e Lilacs utilizando os descritores “enteroparasitosis and Brazil” Resultados: Foram encontradas 1.481 publicações e apenas 18 relevantes para o estudo. As parasitoses infantis nos estados brasileiros são principalmente focadas nos indivíduos em condições precárias de moradia e educação, priorizando populações de baixa classe socioeconômica, destacando Giardia sp, Ascaris lumbricoides, Cryptosporidium sp, Trichuris trichiura como as principais espécies nos exames fecais Também é notório que há diversos tratamentos e avanços na medicina, mas raramente é em prol das parasitoses e, por isso, juntamente com as más condições sanitárias, elas ainda são um problema de saúde pública. Conclusão: Devido às diversas correlações entre enteroparasitoses e perfis socioeconômico-culturais, a melhor alternativa para a redução desta prevalência seria optar pela educação sanitária desde a infância, tendo em conta que o maior foco de transmissão são as crianças, por apresentarem hábitos de higiene não convencionais. Além das crianças, a orientação aos pais também é fundamental uma vez que baixos níveis de escolaridade estão relacionados a alta prevalência de parasitoses

Abstract:

Introdução: A infecção por parasitoses intestinais ainda é um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, principalmente na população infantil. Sua transmissão se dá principalmente por hábitos de higiene inadequados, como a não lavagem das mãos e dos alimentos, andar descalço, roer unhas, entre outros. Portanto, estimular os bons hábitos das crianças possibilita transformar práticas errôneas em novos costumes, impactando na diminuição de tais doenças. Utilizar a tecnologia como ferramenta auxiliadora na introdução dos bons hábitos de vida torna o processo de aprendizagem mais palpável, didático e lúdico, facilitando assim a adesão das crianças. Objetivo: Estimular o uso da tecnologia para promoção de bons hábitos de higiene na prevenção de parasitosesintestinais em crianças de uma escola pública. Material e métodos: Tratou-se de um projeto de caráter intervencionista, com o público alvo de alunos de 5 a 7 anos regularmente matriculados em uma escola pública. Inicialmente aconteceu a capacitação dos discentes do curso de Medicina a respeito dos bons hábitos de higiene relacionado a prevenção de infecção por parasitas intestinais. Foram utilizados aparatos tecnológicos, como os aplicativos virtuais infantis, músicas e vídeos de plataformas online, além de encenação teatral e dinâmicas. As temáticas abordadas foram a lavagem das mãos e dos alimentos, a importância do banho e da escovação dos dentes, o hábito de roer unhas e suas consequências. Resultados: O projeto conseguiu alcançar 49 crianças de forma presencial. Como indícios das mudanças de hábitos de higiene tem-se o relato dos responsáveis obtido através do formulário aplicado de forma virtual, indicando que apósas atividades realizadas, 96,8% das crianças aderiram à lavagem das mãos como um hábito comum e necessário, além disso evidenciou que 96,9% delas repassavam os conhecimentos adquiridos através do projeto para os familiares da residência,potencializando assim a promoção da saúde. Conclusão: Observa se que com o auxílio da tecnologia foi possível facilitar e promover atitudes e comportamentos saudáveis nas crianças, fortalecendo os atos de aprender, ensinar e formar cidadãos conscientes dos bons hábitos de higiene na prevenção de doenças, tornando o trabalho de grande relevância para a escola e para o município, devido ao impacto social positivo gerado.
