Campylobacter jejuni and coli are food-borne pathogens of great importance feature prominently in the etiology developing world enteritis travellers' diarrhoea. Increasing antimicrobial resistant prevalence has been described globally, yet data from Peru is limited. Our objective was to describe trends fluoroquinolone macrolide-resistant C. stool isolates three regions over a ten-year period. Surveillance for enteric conducted Lima, Iquitos Cusco between 2001 2010. were tested...
Mosquitoes collected in the Amazon Basin, near Iquitos, Peru, were evaluated for their susceptibility to epizootic (IAB and IC) enzootic (ID IE) strains of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus. After feeding on hamsters with a viremia ≈108 plaque-forming units virus per milliliter, Culex (Melanoconion) gnomatus Sallum, Huchings, & Ferreira, vomerifer Komp, Aedes fulvus (Wiedemann) highly susceptible infection all four subtypes VEE (infection rates ≥87%). Likewise, Psorophora...
The objective of this study was to determine the etiology febrile illnesses among patients from October 1, 1993 through September 30, 1999, in urban community Iquitos Amazon River Basin Peru. Epidemiological and clinical data as well blood samples were obtained consenting at hospitals, health clinics private residences. Samples tested for arboviruses cell cultures IgM IgG antibodies by ELISA. Blood smears examined malaria, sera Leptospira spp. ELISA microscopic agglutination. Among 6,607...

To determine risk factors associated with dengue (DEN) virus infection among residents of Santa Clara, Peru, a rural Amazonian village near Iquitos, cross‐sectional serological, epidemiological and environmental survey was conducted. Demographic, social behavioural information obtained by standardized questionnaire from 1225 Clara (61.3%) aged 5 years or older. Additional data were on the variables immature mosquito species abundance surrounding each household ( n =248). Sera that had been...
El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el genotipo virus dengue tipo 2 (DENV-2) que circuló en la región Amazónica de Perú entre noviembre 2010 y enero 2011. Se analizaron ocho muestras pacientes captados durante vigilancia para las ciudades Iquitos, Yurimaguas, Trujillo, Tarapoto Lima 2011 fueron remitidas al Instituto Nacional Salud. realizó aislamiento viral línea C6/36 HT extracción ARN viral. aplicaron técnicas biología molecular establecer serotipo (RT - PCR múltiple) (RT-Nested E/NS1)...
Background: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among people at risk is critical for understanding both the prior transmission COVID-19 and vulnerability population to continuing and, when done serially, intensity ongoing over an interval in a community. In this study, we estimated seroprevalence representative population-based cohort Iquitos, one regions with highest mortality rates from Peru, where devastating number cases occurred March 2020.Methods: We conducted study tested each...

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the main Amazon cities dramatically, with Iquitos City reporting highest seroprevalence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies during first wave worldwide. This phenomenon raised many questions about possibility a co-circulation dengue and its consequences. We carried out population-based cohort study in Iquitos, Peru. obtained venous blood sample from subset 326 adults (August 13-18, 2020) to estimate anti-dengue virus (DENV) antibodies. tested each serum for anti-DENV...
Our objective was to determine the genotype of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) that circulated in Amazon region Peru between November 2010 and January 2011. We analyzed eight samples collected during surveillance activities cities Iquitos, Yurimaguas, Trujillo, Tarapoto Lima 2011 were sent Insitituto Nacional de Salud. The viruses isolated C6/36 HT cell line. Viral RNA extracted serotype (RT - PCR multiplex) (RT-Nested E/NS1) determined. Finally, E/ NS1 amplicons sequenced by phylogeny....
