Silvia Maria Fátima Di Santi - Infectious Diseases

Author Information

Silvia Maria Fátima Di Santi is associated with the Infectious Diseases Department at the University Of São Paulo and the Malaria Reference Laboratory at Instituto Adolfo Lutz, both located in São Paulo, Brazil. Her work primarily focuses on the detection and identification of Plasmodium spp., which has significant implications for malaria control and elimination programs.

Research Contributions

Silvia Maria Fátima Di Santi has made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases, particularly in malaria research. Her research emphasizes the development and application of molecular and serological tests for the detection of Plasmodium species. Her work is pivotal in advancing our understanding of malaria transmission, especially in autochthonous areas and among nonhuman primates, as well as in identifying asymptomatic infections that pose risks in blood transfusion and organ transplantation. Her studies are instrumental in enhancing malaria control strategies in endemic regions, including the Brazilian Amazon and the Atlantic Forest biome.
