New Insights on the Zika Virus Arrival in the Americas and Spatiotemporal Reconstruction of the Epidemic Dynamics in Brazil.

Zika virus (ZIKV) became a worldwide public health emergency after its introduction in the Americas. Brazil was implicated as central in the ZIKV dispersion, however, a better understanding of the pathways the virus took to arrive in Brazil and the dispersion within the country is needed. An updated genome dataset was assembled with publicly available data. Bayesian phylogeography methods were applied to reconstruct the spatiotemporal history of ZIKV in the Americas and with more detail inside Brazil. Our analyses reconstructed the Brazilian state of Pernambuco as the likely point of introduction of ZIKV in Brazil, possibly during the 2013 Confederations Cup. Pernambuco played an important role in spreading the virus to other Brazilian states. Our results also underscore the long cryptic circulation of ZIKV in all analyzed locations in Brazil. Conclusions: This study brings new insights about the early moments of ZIKV in the Americas, especially regarding the Brazil-Haiti cluster at the base of the American clade and describing for the first time migration patterns within Brazil

Data on antigen recognition hindrance by antibodies covalently immobilized to Protein G magnetic beads by dimethyl pimelimidate (DMP) cross-linking

The data presented herein is related to the article entitled ''Trypanosoma cruzi immunoproteome: calpain-like CAP5.5 differentially detected throughout distinct stages of human Chagas disease cardiomyopathy'' [1]. Electrophoretic analyses under denaturing and reducing conditions indicate that covalent immobilization of human IgG to Protein G magnetic beads by cross-linking with 50 mM dimethyl pimelimidate hinders the recognition of T. cruzi antigens in immunoprecipitation assays

"Em todos os lares, o conforto moral da ciência e da arte": a Revista Nacional de Educação e a divulgação científica no Brasil (1932-34) "In all homes, the moral comfort of science and of art": the Revista Nacional de Educação and scientific dissemination in Brazil (1932-34)

A Revista Nacional de Educação foi editada, entre 1932 e 1934, pelo Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, sob os auspícios do Ministério da Educação e Saúde Pública e direção de Roquette-Pinto. Seu objetivo principal era a veiculação de conteúdos de ciência, história e arte para um público mais amplo das várias regiões do Brasil. Os artigos são escritos por intelectuais da época, muitos deles atuantes cientistas do Museu Nacional, além de traduções de trechos de alguns viajantes. Cada um de seus números era impresso com custos reduzidos e em expressiva tiragem. Apresentando-se como iniciativa de uma República renovada, parte de uma estratégia mais ampla de inaugurar novas relações entre o governo e uma população a ser educada, a revista se autodefiniu como "um marco espiritual da nacionalidade", sintonizada ao ideal de um Estado cuja ação pedagógica constituísse um povo e uma nação.<br>Between 1932 and 1934, the journal Revista Nacional de Educação was published by Rio de Janeiro's National Museum, under the auspices of the Brazilian Ministry of Education and Public Health and under the direction of Roquette-Pinto. Its main goal was to disseminate information on science, history, and art among a wide-ranging Brazilian public. The articles were written by the intellectuals of the day, many of whom were scientists at the Museu Nacional. The Revista also published translations of excerpts by a number of travelers. Every issue was published at a low cost, with a significant number of copies. The journal was touted as the initiative of a renewed Republic, part of a broader strategy of inaugurating new relations between government and a population to be educated. It defined itself as "a spiritual milestone in the Brazilian nationality" in tune with the ideal of a State whose educational initiatives were meant to constitute a people and a nation
