We evaluated the presence and distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi DNA in a mummy presenting with megacolon that was dated as approximately 560 ± 40 years old. The mummy was from the Peruaçu Valley...
Phylogenetic analysis of vibrios and related species by means of atpA gene sequences (2007)
Thompson, Cristiane C., Thompson, Fabiano L., Vicente, Ana Carolina P., Swings, Jean
We investigated the use of atpA gene sequences as alternative phylogenetic and identification markers for vibrios. A fragment of 1322 bp (corresponding to approximately 88% of the coding region) was...
Enterobius vermicularis: Ancient DNA from North and South American Coprolites (2003)
Iñiguez, Alena M., Reinhard, Karl J, Araújo, Adauto, Ferreira, Luiz F., Vicente, Ana Carolina P.
A molecular paleoparasitological diagnostic approach was developed for Enterobius vermicularis. Ancient DNA was extracted from 27 coprolites from archaeological sites in Chile and USA. Enzymatic...
Iñiguez,Alena M, Araújo,Adauto, Ferreira,Luiz Fernando, Vicente,Ana Carolina P
The aim of this work was to determine approaches that would improve the quality of ancient DNA (aDNA) present in coprolites to enhance the possibility of success in retrieving specific sequence...

Human Biology - Volume 74, Number 5, October 2002
Vieira, Verônica V., Teixeira, Luiz Fernando M., Vicente, Ana Carolina P., Momen, Hooman, Salles, Carlos André
In this study, we demonstrated that analyzed strains of Vibrio mimicus and Vibrio cholerae could be separated in two groups by using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE) data from 14 loci. We also...
Cytotoxic Cell Vacuolating Activity from Vibrio cholerae Hemolysin
Coelho, Ana, Andrade, João R. C., Vicente, Ana Carolina P., Dirita, Victor J.
A Vibrio cholerae cytotoxin, designated VcVac, was found to cause vacuolation in Vero cells. It was originally detected in the pathogenic O1 Amazonia variant of V. cholerae and later shown to be...
