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. ...
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 ...
Structural analysis of owl monkey MHC-DR shows that fully-protective malaria vaccine components can be readily used in humans
(2017)
More than 50 years ago the owl monkey (genusAotus) was found to be highly susceptible to developinghuman malaria, making it an excellent experimental model for this disease. Microbes and parasites'(especially malaria) ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
Plasmodium falciparum pre-erythrocytic stage vaccine development
(2020)
Worldwide strategies between 2010 and 2017 aimed at controlling malarial parasites (mainly Plasmodium falciparum) led to a reduction of just 18% regarding disease incidence rates. Many biologically-derived anti-malarial ...
Self-assembling functional programmable protein array for studying protein-protein interactions in malaria parasites
(2018)
Background: Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread malarial species, causing significant morbidity worldwide. Knowledge is limited regarding the molecular mechanism of invasion due to the lack of a continuous in vitro ...
Easy and fast method for expression and native extraction of Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein fragments
(2018)
Background: The Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (PvDBP) has been the most studied ligand binding human reticulocytes to date. This molecule has a cysteine-rich domain in region II (RII) which has been used as control ...
Novel genes and mutations in patients affected by recurrent pregnancy loss
(2017)
Recurrent pregnancy loss is a frequently occurring human infertility-related disease affecting ~1% of women. It has been estimated that the cause remains unexplained in >50% cases which strongly suggests that genetic factors ...
