(2022)
Chlamydia psittaci is a highly zoonotic bacteria distributed worldwide; it is responsible for psittacosis, one of the most important infectious diseases affecting the Psittacidae, mostly parrots. This work was aimed at ...
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 ...
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 ...
A comparative analysis of SLA-DRB1 genetic diversity in Colombian (creoles and commercial line) and worldwide swine populations
(2021)
Analysing pig class II mayor histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is mainly related to antigen presentation. Identifying frequently-occurring alleles in pig populations is an important aspect to be considered when ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
