A Controlled Study of Tuberculosis Diagnosis in HIV-Infected and Uninfected Children in Peru
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Diagnosing tuberculosis in children is challenging because specimens are difficult to obtain and contain low tuberculosis concentrations, especially with HIV-coinfection. Few studies included well-controls so ...
Predominance of asymptomatic and sub-microscopic infections characterizes the Plasmodium gametocyte reservoir in the Peruvian Amazon
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
Malaria transmission requires that Anopheles mosquitoes ingest Plasmodium gametocyte stages circulating in the human bloodstream. In the context of malaria elimination, understanding the epidemiology of gametocytes relative ...
Molecular epidemiology of plasmodium falciparum malaria outbreak, Tumbes, Peru, 2010–2012
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015)
During 2010–2012, an outbreak of 210 cases of malaria occurred in Tumbes, in the northern coast of Peru, where no Plasmodium falciparum malaria case had been reported since 2006. To identify the source of the parasite ...
Loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification for asymptomatic malaria detection in challenging field settings: Technical performance and pilot implementation in the Peruvian Amazon
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Loop-mediated isothermal DNA amplification (LAMP) methodology offers an opportunity for point-of-care (POC) molecular detection of asymptomatic malaria infections. However, there is still little evidence on the ...
Outbreak of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Peruvian Military Personnel Undertaking Training Activities in the Amazon Basin, 2010

Military personnel deployed to the Amazon Basin are at high risk for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). We responded to an outbreak among Peruvian Army personnel returning from short-term training in the Amazon, conducting ...
Evaluation of abortions spontaneously induced by Neospora caninum and risk factors in dairy cattle from Lima, Peru.
(Colégio Brasileiro de Parasitologia Veterinaria, 2019)
Our objective was to identify the direct and indirect presence of Neospora caninum in dairy cattle and their aborted fetuses from Lima, Peru. A total 219 blood samples obtained from dairy cattle with records of spontaneous ...
Microgeographical differences of Plasmodium vivax relapse and re-infection in the Peruvian Amazon
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013)
To determine the magnitude of Plasmodium vivax relapsing malaria in rural Amazonia, we carried out a study in four sites in northeastern Peru. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism of PvMSP-3α ...
