Functional analysis of DM64, an antimyotoxic protein with immunoglobulin-like structure from Didelphis marsupialis serum
(2002-12-11)Bothrops snake venoms are known to induce local tissue damage such as hemorrhage and myonecrosis. The opossum Didelphis marsupialis is resistant to these snake venoms and has natural venom inhibitors in its plasma. The aim ... -
Functional, proteomic and transcriptomic characterization of the venom from Micrurus browni browni: identification of the first lethal multimeric neurotoxin in coral snake venom
(2020)Proteomic characterization of Micrurus browni browni venom showed approximately 41 components belonging to 9 protein families, mainly phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) and three-finger toxins (3FTxs). Venom gland transcriptome ... -
Fungal contamination of stored automobile-fuels in a tropical environment
(2010-10)Because of the lack of reports, the base levels of microbial contamination on stored fuels are unknown in tropical regions and it is unclear whether these levels have some influence on fuel quality parameters. Therefore, ... -
Fungal-Mediated Degradation of Emerging Pollutants in Sewage Sludge
(2012-01-01)This chapter summarizes the novel approaches employed for the removal of emerging pollutants from sludge by means of fungal processes. The first part of the chapter introduces the potential application of fungi in ... -
Fungicidal activity of a phospholipase A2-derived synthetic peptide variant against Candida albicans
(2007-09)pEM-2, a 13-mer synthetic peptide variant derived from myotoxin II, a phospholipase A2 homologue present in Bothrops asper snake venom, has shown potent bactericidal activity in previous studies due to the combination of ... -
Fur mite, Listrocarpus alouattae Fain (Acari: Atopomelidae), from Alouatta palliata Gray (Primates: Cebidae) in Costa Rica
(2002)Se presentan resultados preliminares de un estudio sobre ectoparásitos de monos de Costa Rica. Se evaluaron 36 monos aulladores (Alouatta palliata Gray, 1849) y 3 monos capuchinos (Cebus capucinus Linnaeus, 1758) provenientes ... -
Gene expression analyses of gingival tissue of patients with periodontitis using public transcriptomic data
(2022-11)Abstract—Periodontal disease (PD) is a multifactorial and chronic condition of infection and inflammation of the gingival tissue. However, many of the biological and molecular mechanisms regarding the development of this ... -
Gene Expression Dynamics Induced by Ciprofloxacin and Loss of LexA Function in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 Using Data Mining and Network Analysis
(2018)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infections in humans and frequently develops mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics, which makes its treatment difficult. In this study we ... -
Generation and implementation of reporter BHK-21 cells for live imaging of flavivirus infection
(2021-03-05)The genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae includes many viral species of medical importance, such as yellow fever virus (YFV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and dengue virus (DENV), among others. Presently, the identification ... -
Genetic and toxinological divergence among populations of Tityus trivittatus Kraepelin, 1898 (Scorpiones: Buthidae) inhabiting Paraguay and Argentina
(2020)Envenoming by scorpions in genus Tityus is a public health problem in Tropical America. One of the most medically significant species is Tityus trivittatus, which is known to occur from southwest Brazil to central-northern ... -
Genetic variation of the Y chromosome in Chibcha-Speaking amerindians of Costa Rica and Panama
(Human Biology 77(1): 71-91, 2005)Genetic variation of the Y chromosome in five Chibchan tribes (Bribri, Cabecar, Guaymi, Huetar, and Teribe) of Costa Rica and Panama was analyzed using six microsatellite loci (DYS 19, DYS389A, DYS389B, DYS390, DYS391, and ... -
Genetic, dietary, and other lifestyle determinants of serum homocysteine levels in young adults in Costa Rica
(2005)Objective: Elevated serum total homocysteine (tHcy) is considered an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to develop the first-ever information on the prevalence of ... -
Genomic context of the two integrons of ST-111 Pseudomonas aeruginosa AG1: A VIM-2-carrying old-acquaintance and a novel IMP-18-carrying integron
