T-705, also known as favipiravir, is a small-molecule inhibitor that currently in clinical development for the treatment of influenza virus infections. This molecule inhibits replication broad spectrum other RNA viruses. The objective this study was to investigate antiviral effect favipiravir on chikungunya (CHIKV) and contribute unravelling molecular mechanism action against virus. anti-CHIKV examined cell culture mouse model lethal infection. A five-step protocol used select CHIKV variants...
The objective of this work was to establish, under experimental laboratory conditions, a colony Lucilia sericata, Bogotá-Colombia strain, build life tables and evaluate two artificial diets. This blowfly is frequently used in postmortem interval studies injury treatment. parental adult insects collected Bogotá were maintained cages at 22°C±1 average temperature, 60%±5 relative humidity 12 h photoperiodicity. blowflies fed on diets that evaluated over seven continuous generations....
We evaluated extracts taken from S. magellanica third instar larvae fat body and haemolymph using a diabetic rabbit model compared this to the effect obtained with same substances Lucilia sericata larvae. Alloxan (a toxic glucose analogue) was used induce experimental diabetes in twelve rabbits. Dorsal wounds were made each animal they infected Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They then treated lyophilized selected blowflies' bodies. Each wound by rating scales histological...
Evaluar, en condiciones in vitro, la actividad antibacterial de los extractos cuerpos grasos y hemolinfa larvas tercer estadio Sarconesiopsis magellanica, cual se comparó con efectos obtenidos las mismas sustancias derivadas Lucilia sericata. S. magellanica (Diptera: Calliphoridae) es una mosca importancia principalmente forense, utilizada determinación del intervalo post mortem. Por sus hábitos necrófagos, considerada un modelo potencialmente útil terapia larval. Se extrajeron mediante...
A cadaver represents a temporal energy-loaded resource, which provides arthropods with food, protection and place in to find mate. Insects are usually the first organisms discover colonize cadaver; as decomposition progresses, insects cadavers predictable sequence. This work aimed establish cadaverous entomofauna relationships regard stages of environmental conditions using multiple correspondence analysis thereby identify way distribute perishable changing resource. Entomofauna were thus...
This work was aimed at evaluating Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) life cycle, tables, and reproductive population parameters. species is a necrophagous, synanthropic, cosmopolitan fly with broad distribution in the Neotropical region. Six successive generations from adult specimens collected Bogotá, Colombia, were analyzed laboratory conditions. The fly's cycle evaluated, using natural diet of pig's liver (L) two artificial diets-milk powder egg (ME) powdered...
Genetic analysis of Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus 0.05 ± 0.01); meanwhile, the gene flow estimates (N m = 7.32 1.35) were high.In an identical way, Nei's genetic distances obtained yielded very small values amongst populations that studied in this Colombian region.Furthermore, a spatial autocorrelation with Moran's I index revealed weak, or inexistent, structure among these populations.The comparison results those performed for other markers (isoenzymes and microsatellites) same mosquito from...
Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) es una mosca necrófaga de importancia médica y forense, utilizada en terapia larval su desarrollo biológico usado para establecer el intervalo postmortem. Para criar esta especie, generalmente, se recurre a tejidos animales que al descomponerse producen malos olores contaminación. El objetivo este estudio fue determinar las características del ciclo L. empleando cuatro dietas diferentes base hígado res (H), leche polvo (LP), pescado (P) e (HP)....
Ascaris lumbricoides, a soil-transmitted helminth, remains one of the most prevalent parasitic infections globally, particularly affecting children in low-resource settings with inadequate sanitation and hygiene practices. This study determined prevalence lumbricoides among patients attending Federal Medical Centre Keffi, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, between May July 2024. A total 100 participated this study. Stool samples were analyzed using concentration technique. The results show that, fecal...
The main objective of the present work was to establish and maintain a colony Ochlerotatus taeniorhynchus, Riohacha strain, under laboratory conditions study its life cycle. colony's insectary established from adult male female mosquitoes collected peripheral neighborhoods Riohacha, Colombia. Environmental in were 26.5 degrees C average temperature, 80% relative humidity, 12 h photoperiodicity. Eight continuous generations taken into account for maintaining analyzing their mosquito's cycle...
The inappropriate use of antibiotics has led to the accelerated growth resistance antibiotics. search for new therapeutic strategies (i.e., antimicrobial peptides-AMPs) thus become a pressing need.Characterising and evaluating Sarconesiopsis magellanica larval fat body-derived AMPs.Fat body extracts were analysed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC); mass spectrometry was used characterising primary structure AMPs so found. ProtParam (Expasy) analysing AMPs'...
