Sexual forms obtained in a continuous in vitro cultured Colombian strain of Plasmodium falciparum (FCB2)
(2020)
Background: The epidemiological control of malaria has been hampered by the appearance of parasite resistance to anti-malarial drugs and by the resistance of mosquito vectors to control measures. This has also been associated ...
The prevalence of high-risk HPV types and factors determining infection in female colombian adolescents
(2016)
This study reports six HR-HPV types' infection prevalence discriminated by species and multiple infection in unvaccinated Colombian female adolescents, as well as some factors modulating the risk of infection. HPV DNA for ...
Identifying the HLA DRB1-DQB1 molecules and predicting epitopes associated with high-risk HPV infection clearance and redetection
(2020)
Several determining factors are involved in HPV infection outcomes; human leukocyte antigen (HLA) polymorphisms have been described as related factors. This study has ascertained the effect of genetic variation on HLA-DRB1 ...
Integrated genomic epidemiology and phenotypic profiling of Clostridium difficile across intra-hospital and community populations in Colombia
(2019)
Clostridium difficile, the causal agent of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, has a complex epidemiology poorly studied in Latin America. We performed a robust genomic and phenotypic profiling of 53 C. difficile clinical ...
Strong -LAMP Assay Based on a Strongyloides spp.-Derived Partial Sequence in the 18S rRNA as Potential Biomarker for Strongyloidiasis Diagnosis in Human Urine Samples
(2020)
Human strongyloidiasis a soil-transmitted infection caused by Strongyloides stercoralis is one of the most neglected amongst the so-called Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). S. stercoralis is a nematode, which is distributed ...
Multiple high-risk HPV genotypes are grouped by type and are associated with viral load and risk factors
(2017)
Investigating whether high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) types tend to become grouped in a particular way and whether factors are associated with such grouping is important for measuring the real impact of vaccination. ...
Association of HIV status with infection by multiple HPV types
(2018)
Objectives: To identify the clinical and demographic characteristics of HIV-positive and HIV-negative women infected by multiple HPV types. Methods: 1399 women participated in the study (240 HIV-positive and 1159 HIV-negative ...
Behavior and abundance of Anopheles darlingi in communities living in the Colombian Amazon riverside
(2019)
In the past few years, relative frequencies of malaria parasite species in communities living in the Colombian Amazon riverside have changed, being Plasmodium vivax (61.4%) and Plasmodium malariae (43.8%) the most frequent. ...
Micro-epidemiology of mixed-species malaria infections in a rural population living in the Colombian Amazon region
(2018)
Malaria outbreaks have been reported in recent years in the Colombian Amazon region, malaria has been re-emerging in areas where it was previously controlled. Information from malaria transmission networks and knowledge ...
Identifying HLA DRB1‑DQB1 alleles associated with Chlamydia trachomatis infection and in silico prediction of potentially‑related peptides
(2021)
HLA class II (HLA-II) genes’ polymorphism influences the immune response to Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct), it is considered a sexually transmitted infection. However, associations between HLA-II alleles and Ct-infection have ...
