Spatio-temporal analysis of malaria incidence in the Peruvian Amazon Region between 2002 and 2013
(Springer Nature, 2017)
Malaria remains a major public health problem in the Peruvian Amazon where the persistence of high-risk transmission areas (hotspots) challenges the current malaria control strategies. This study aimed at identifying ...
Spatial relationship between Taenia solium tapeworm carriers and necropsy cyst burden in pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Taenia solium, a parasite that affects humans and pigs, is the leading cause of preventable epilepsy in the developing world. Geographic hotspots of pigs testing positive for serologic markers of T. solium ...
Fascioliasis and eosinophilia in the highlands of Cuzco, Peru and their association with water and socioeconomic factors
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014)
There are limited data about the epidemiology of fascioliasis in Cuzco, Peru. We studied children 3-12 years old from six communities in the highlands of Cuzco to evaluate the epidemiology of fascioliasis; 227 children ...
TF-Test modified: new diagnostic tool for human enteroparasitosis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-05-13)
Intestinal parasitosis is highly prevalent worldwide, being among the main causes of illness and death in humans. Currently, laboratory diagnosis of the intestinal parasites is accomplished through manual technical procedures, ...
The potential of canine sentinels for reemerging Trypanosoma cruzi transmission
(Elsevier, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease, a vector-borne disease transmitted by triatomine bugs and caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, affects millions of people in the Americas. In Arequipa, Peru, indoor residual insecticide ...
The Association Between Neurocysticercosis and Hippocampal Atrophy is Related to Age
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017)
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) has been associated with hippocampal atrophy, but the prevalence and pathogenic mechanisms implicated in this relationship are unknown. Using a population-based, case-control study design, residents ...
Canine echinococcosis: genetic diversity of Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto (ss) from definitive hosts
(Cambridge University Press, 2015)
Canids, particularly dogs, constitute the major source of cystic echinococcosis (CE) infection to humans, with the majority of cases being caused by Echinococcus granulosus (G1 genotype). Canine echinococcosis is an ...
Hotspots of Malaria Transmission in the Peruvian Amazon: Rapid Assessment through a Parasitological and Serological Survey
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
BACKGROUND: With low and markedly seasonal malaria transmission, increasingly sensitive tools for better stratifying the risk of infection and targeting control interventions are needed. A cross-sectional survey to ...
In vitro model of postoncosphere development, and in vivo infection abilities of Taenia solium and Taenia saginata
(Public Library of Science, 2019)
Taenia solium is known to cause human cysticercosis while T. saginata does not. Comparative in vitro and in vivo studies on the oncosphere and the postoncospheral (PO) forms of T. solium and T. saginata may help to elucidate ...
Trypanosoma cruzi: Correlation Between Karyotype Variability and Isoenzyme Classification
(1993)
Forty-three Trypanosoma cruzi isolates from Chile and Colombia and three cloned stocks from Bolivia and Brazil were studied at the karyotype level by hybridization with four different parasite gene probes to chromosomes ...
