1. A Vila Santa Isabel na Avenida Afonso Pena: a experiência positiva da moradia popular em região central de Belo Horizonte
The Santa Isabel Village on Afonso Pena Avenue is a slum with reduced population and area. It is reminiscent from Pindura Saia, a much larger slum that took place in the hill around the Water Reservoir in Cruzeiro district in the 30s, a distant and peripheral area of the city at that time, currently a valued central area. The almost complete extinction of Pi

2. Multiplex PCR-based detection of Leptospira in environmental water samples obtained from a slum settlement
The aim of this study was to apply a molecular protocol to detect leptospiral DNA in environmental water samples. The study was carried out in a peri-urban settlement in Petrópolis, state of Rio de Janeiro. A multiplex PCR method employing the primers LipL32 and 16SrRNA was used. Three out of 100 analysed samples were positive in the multiplex PCR, two were

5. Prevalence of Toxocara infection in schoolchildren from the Butantã region, São Paulo, Brazil
Visceral larva migrans syndrome by Toxocara affects mainly children between 2 and 5 years of age, it is generally asymptomatic, and the seroprevalence varies from 3 to 86% in different countries. A total of 399 schoolchildren from 14 public schools of the Butantã region, São Paulo city, Brazil, were evaluated by Toxocara serology (enzyme-linked immunosorbe

6. DeterminaÃÃo da PrevalÃncia e Variabilidade GenÃtica de Entamoeba histolytica e Entamoeba dispar em Habitantes de Pernambuco
Previous studies using methods varying from traditional serological test to molecular biology have shown that in Northeast Brazil Entamoeba dispar was more prevalent than Entamoeba histolytica. In this work the prevalence was established by using E. histolytica stool antigen detection kits and Reaction Chain Polimerase (PCR) of genomic DNA extracted from cul

7. Early-life Risk Factors for Adult Chronic Disease: Follow-up of a Cohort Born During 1964–1978 in an Urban Slum of Lahore, Pakistan
Evidence suggests that risk of chronic diseases may be programmed during the foetal and early life of the infant. With high rates of low birthweight coupled with a rapid nutritional transition, low-income countries are facing an epidemic of chronic diseases. Follow-up of a cohort of adults born during 1964–1978 in an urban slum in Lahore, Pakistan, is pres

This report presents results from a sample survey designed to investigate the possible role of Cryptosporidium spp. in childhood diarrhea in a developing country, Liberia, West Africa. During the four months of January to April 1983, a house-to-house study was carried out in two geographically and socially different communities--an urban slum and three rural

9. Evaluation of an antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts.
The diagnosis of the small (4- to 6-microns) Cryptosporidium oocysts is labor intensive and relies on stool concentration, with subsequent staining and microscopy. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical utility of an antigen capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (LMD Laboratories, Carlsbad, Calif.) in detecting Cryptospori

10. Pathogen and host differences in bacterial adherence to human buccal epithelial cells in a northeast Brazilian community.
The adherence of several strains of Escherichia coli to human buccal epithelial cells was studied, using cells obtained from five groups: healthy adults, healthy children, children with acute diarrhea, children with persistent diarrhea associated with cryptosporidial parasites, and children with noncryptosporidial persistent diarrhea. All groups lived or wor
