Porcine Cysticercosis: Possible Cross-Reactivity of Taenia hydatigena to GP50 Antigen in the Enzyme-Linked Immunoelectrotransfer Blot Assay
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017)
The lentil lectin glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (LLGP EITB, reported sensitivity 99% and specificity 100%) is used as a serologic marker of exposure to Taenia solium in pigs. However, only a limited ...
Identification of Blood Meals from Potential Arbovirus Mosquito Vectors in the Peruvian Amazon Basin
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016)
The transmission dynamics of many arboviruses in the Amazon Basin region have not been fully elucidated, including the vectors and natural reservoir hosts. Identification of blood meal sources in field-caught mosquitoes ...
New insights in cysticercosis transmission
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Taenia solium infection causes severe neurological disease in humans. Even though infection and exposure to swine cysticercosis is scattered throughout endemic villages, location of the tapeworm only explains some of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Capillaria hepatica pseudoinfection
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013)
A 54-year-old male Matsigenka native from the Manu jungle of Peru presented with the eggs shown in Figure 1. Kato Katz (Figure 2) testing revealed 1,500 eggs/g stool. The white blood cell count with differential, liver ...

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 ...
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 ...
Genome-level determination of Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage targets of malarial clinical immunity in the Peruvian Amazon
(Oxford University Press, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Persons with blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasitemia in the absence of symptoms are considered to be clinically immune. We hypothesized that asymptomatic subjects with P. falciparum parasitemia would ...
