Cervical cancer screening programme attendance and compliance predictors regarding Colombia’s Amazon region
(2022)
Background Cervical cancer (CC) promotion and prevention (P&P) programmes’ challenge lies in guaranteeing that follow-up strategies have a real impact on reducing CC-related mortality rates. CC P&P programme compliance and ...
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 ...
ESAT-6 and Ag85A Synthetic Peptides as Candidates for an Immunodiagnostic Test in Children with a Clinical Suspicion of Tuberculosis
(2021)
Background. Tuberculosis (TB) is being underdetected in children as most are smear-negative. This work was aimed at evaluating ESAT-6 and Ag85A synthetic peptides’ serodiagnostic potential for diagnosing children having a ...
Diagnostic Potential of the Serological Response to Synthetic Peptides from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigens for Discrimination Between Active and Latent Tuberculosis Infections
(2022)
Diagnosis and treatment of active tuberculosis (ATB) as well as latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) are required for efective tuberculosis (TB) control, especially in TB endemic area. The usefulness of conventional tests ...
Changes in the Cervical Microbiota of Women with Different High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Loads
(2022)
Abstract: The cervical microbiota is essential in female sexual health, and its altered states seem to have a central role in the dynamic of high-risk papillomavirus (hrHPV) infections. This study aimed to evaluate the ...
Trichomonas vaginalis follow-up and persistence in Colombian women
(2021)
Trichomonas vaginalis (TV), the most common non-viral sexually-transmitted infection is considered a neglected infection and its epidemiology is not well known. This study determined TV-infection dynamics in a retrospective ...
Differential NRAMP1gene’s D543N genotype frequency: Increased risk of contracting tuberculosis among Venezuelan populations
(2023)
NRAMP1 and VDR gene polymorphisms have been variably associated with susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) amongst populations having different genetic background. NRAMP1 and VDR gene variants’ association with susceptibility ...
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. ...
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 ...
