Participatory risk mapping of malaria vector exposure in northern South America using environmental and population data
(2014-03-01)
Malaria elimination remains a major public health challenge in many tropical regions, including large areas of northern South America. In this study, we present a new high spatial resolution (90 × 90 m) risk map for Colombia ...

(2004-06-01)
Alouattamyia baeri es una especie de cuterébrido cuya larva se asocia con el parasitismo en primates del Nuevo Mundo (Catts, 1982). La descripción de la morfología fue realizada por Shannon y Greene (1926) con ejemplares ...
MYC dosage compensation is mediated by miRNA-transcription factor interactions in aneuploid cancer
(2021-12-17)
We hypothesize that dosage compensation of critical genes arises from systems-
level properties for cancer cells to withstand the negative effects of aneuploidy.
We identified several candidate genes in cancer multiomics ...
Global genetic diversity of Aedes aegypti
(2016-11)
Mosquitoes, especially Aedes aegypti, are becoming important models for studying invasion biology. We characterized genetic variation at 12 microsatellite loci in 79 populations of Ae. aegypti from 30 countries in six ...
Exposure of dogs to Rickettsia spp. in Costa Rica: Risk factors for PCR-positive ectoparasites and seropositivity
(2019)
Infection of dogs with Rickettsia spp. can result in inapparent, mild, or severe disease. Moreover, common dog ticks and fleas are able to transmit rickettsiae to nearby humans. In this
study, the seroprevalence of spotted ...
Nickel Biosorption by Acinetobacter Baumannii and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Isolated from Industrial Wastewater
Bioadsorção de niquel por Acinetobacter baumannii e Pseudomonas aeruginosa isoladas de águas residuais industriais
(2006-12)
Nickel biosorption ability was evaluated in two bacterial strains: Acinetobacter baumannii UCR-2971 and
Pseudomonas aeruginosa UCR-2957, resulting in greatest adsorption at pH 4.5 and a residence time of 100
minutes. ...
Providing an in vitro depiction of microglial cells challenged with immunostimulatory extracellular vesicles of Naegleria fowleri
