Malaria Molecular Epidemiology: Lessons from the International Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research Network
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015)
Molecular epidemiology leverages genetic information to study the risk factors that affect the frequency and distribution of malaria cases. This article describes molecular epidemiologic investigations currently being ...
Plasmodium vivax Diversity and Population Structure across Four Continents
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Plasmodium vivax is the geographically most widespread human malaria parasite. To analyze patterns of microsatellite diversity and population structure across countries of different transmission intensity, genotyping data ...
Population structure of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans in an urban environment
(Public Library of Science, 2015)
Chagas disease is a vector-borne disease endemic in Latin America. Triatoma infestans, a common vector of this disease, has recently expanded its range into rapidly developing cities of Latin America. We aim to identify ...
Epidemiology and genetics of endemic goiter. II. Genetic aspects
(1982-01-01)
Complex genetic models and segregation analysis were applied to family data obtained in a hyperendemic goiter area in Brazil. The single locus and Falconer's models did not fit the data. Edward's model showed convergency, ...
Comment on "Genetic variants and source of introduction of SARS-CoV-2 in South America"
(Wiley, 2020)
I read with great interest a recent study by Poterico and Mestanza who described mutations in 30 SARS‐CoV‐2 genomes from South American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru). Next‐generation ...
Challenges in molecular epidemiology of hepatitis C virus
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-06-01)
Tuberculosis genetic epidemiology: A latin american perspective
(MDPI, 2019)
There are an estimated 10 million new cases of tuberculosis worldwide annually, with 282,000 new or relapsed cases each year reported from the Americas. With improvements in genome sequencing technology, it is now possible ...
Molecular Epidemiology of Trypanosomatids and Trypanosoma cruzi in Primates from Peru
(Springer, 2017)
We determined the prevalence rate and risk of infection of Trypanosoma cruzi and other trypanosomatids in Peruvian non-human primates (NHPs) in the wild (n = 126) and in different captive conditions (n = 183). Blood samples ...
