    Abstract The susceptibility of the white-tailed deer (WTD; Odocoileus virginianus) to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has highlighted cervids as coronavirus reservoirs. This study aimed to evaluate the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) residues which bind the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 from 16 cervids to predict their potential susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Eleven out of 16 species presented identical ACE2 key residues to WTD ACE2. Four cervids presented K31N, a variant associated with low SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility. Large herding of cervids with ACE2 key residues identical to that of the WTD can result in extensive reservoirs of SARS-CoV-2. Cervids as potential reservoirs could favor SARS-CoV-2 adaptation and the emergence of new coronavirus strains.

    Abstract Infection by SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, is critically connected with host metabolism. Through functional enrichment analysis, the present study aims to evaluate the biological processes involving host proteins interfered by SARS-CoV-2 to verify the potential metabolic impact of the infection. Furthermore, tissue enrichment analyses and differential gene expression of host proteins were applied to understand the interference by SARS-CoV-2 on tissue levels. Results based on functional and tissue-specific enrichment analyses, presented in this study, suggest that SARS-CoV-2, mediated interference on host proteins, can affect the metabolism and catabolism of molecular building blocks and control intracellular mechanisms, including gene expression in metabolism-related organs, to support viral demands. Thus, SARS-CoV-2 can broadly affect the host metabolism and catabolism at tissue and physiological levels contributing to a more severe disease.

    Abstract During millions of years, viruses have emerged and reemerged, with imbalance of photogenicity and transmissivity overtime. This letter describes that sometimes the nomenclature is uncertain what may actually happen during retrovirus evolution nowadays. This article discusses a possibility that human T-lymphotropic virus type 2 (HTLV-2) has been processed to incorporate the human genome in the last millions of years. Persistent viruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), HIV-2, and human T cell lymphotropic type 2 may also have potential of endogenization instead of a cytolytic process in a long time.

    Abstract Endocrine physiology is a complex subject for students. Game-based learning (GBL) and case-based learning (CBL) are active methodologies that are widely used because of their potential for motivation and greater proximity to the reality of modern students.

    Abstract In 2002, a severe acute respiratory (SARS) epidemic, caused by a coronavirus (SARS-CoV), affected a significant number of countries and was interrupted after one year, approximately. Currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has been a concern for the whole world, and the end of the pandemic does not appear near. In this article, we briefly discussed the lessons learned by the countries which fought the SARS epidemic and which had succeeded in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. We also discussed some of the main points that resulted in failures to handle the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In the Brazilian context, we observed that the federal government delayed the necessary measures to be taken, has been less transparent to disclose health data, neglected the facemask usage mandates and refused the COVID-19 vaccine offerings. Despite the previous coronavirus outbreaks, we are suffering during the COVID-19 pandemic because we did not learn with SARS.

    Abstract Broad human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag-specific cellular responses can control viremia and provide slow progression to Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In this study, we evaluate multiple HIV-1 Gag-specific lymphoproliferative responses and find their connection with cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4)+ T cell count and viral load from chronically HIV-1-infected patients. We further search for the correlation between multiple Gag-specific lymphoproliferative responses and changes in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen. We found correlation between Gag-specific responses and higher CD4+ T cells nadir and low HIV-1 viral load. Additionally, we observed that HIV-1-infected subjects did not need to change HAART regimen, when multiple Gag responses are present. We concluded that the start of HAART when CD4+ T cell nadir is the highest as possible may promote Gag-specific cellular responses conservation. Multiple Gag responses must be important to suppress HIV-1 replication. Preserved Gag-specific responses reduce HIV-1 viral load and are associated with stability of HAART regimen. Keywords: HIV-1; Gag; lymphoproliferation; viral load; HAART.
