Molecular Markers for Detecting Schistosoma Species by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification
(2020)
Schistosomiasis is considered a neglected parasitic disease. Around 280,000 people die from it annually, and more than 779 million people are at risk of getting infected. The schistosome species which infect human beings ...
A Comprehensive Review of the Immunological Response against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Infection and Its Evasion Mechanisms
(2020)
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease, which has been reported for over 100 years, and against which the struggle has lasted for the same amount of time. It affects individuals from the order ...
Occurrence and molecular characterization of Giardia duodenalis in child population from Colombia
(2019)
Giardia duodenalis is one of the most prevalent human intestinal parasite, with children living in developing countries being particularly at risk of infection. The occurrence and molecular diversity of G. duodenalis was ...
Preliminary Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of an Antimalarial Vaccine Candidate Modified Peptide (IMPIPS) Mixture in a Murine Model
(2019)
Malaria continues being a high-impact disease regarding public health worldwide; the WHO report for malaria in 2018 estimated that 219 million cases occurred in 2017, mostly caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum. ...
Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification as Point-of-Care Diagnosis for Neglected Parasitic Infections
(2020)
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has placed twenty diseases into a group known as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), twelve of them being parasitic diseases: Chagas disease, cysticercosis/ taeniasis, echinococcosis, ...
Comparing Class II MHC DRB3 Diversity in Colombian Simmental and Simbrah Cattle Across Worldwide Bovine Populations
(2022)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) exerts great influence on responses to infectious diseases and vaccination due to its fundamental role in the adaptive immune system. Knowledge about MHC polymorphism distribution ...
Evaluating the immunogenicity of chemically-synthesised peptides derived from foot-and-mouth disease VP1, VP2 and VP3 proteins as vaccine candidates
(2020)
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is one of the most contagious veterinary viral diseases known, having economic, social and potentially devastating environmental impacts. The vaccines currently being marketed/sold around the ...
Multilocus fragment analysis of Cryptosporidium parvum from pre-weaned calves in Colombia
(2019)
The intra-species genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium parvum in dairy cattle farms in the central area of Colombia was investigated using a multilocus fragment typing approach with nine variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) ...
Genetic uniqueness of Cryptosporidium parvum from dairy calves in Colombia
(2018)
Fecal specimens from 432 pre-weaned calves younger than 35 days were collected over a 2-year period (2010–2012) from 74 dairy cattle farms in the central area of Colombia. These samples were microscopically examined for ...
