There are no reports with molecular confirmation of Cryptosporidium spp. and Cyclospora in children consulting the emergency service due to diarrhoea Colombia. A descriptive study was performed on 137 who visited Hospital San Juan de Dios Emergency Service Armenia between April 1 31, 2022. Questionnaires sampling were identify parasites faecal samples. Fresh preparations prepared 1% iodine, a modified Ziehl-Neelsen stain used pathogenic intestinal protozoa (Cryptosporidium spp.). PCR...
An earthquake in the coffee growing region of Colombia on January 25, 1999 destroyed 70% houses Armenia city. Transitory housing camps still remained until two years after disaster. Parasitological studies found that, this population, giardiasis was most frequent parasitic infection. This study carried out order to determine epidemiological risk factors associated with high prevalence. Fecal samples were obtained from 217 children aged between 3 and 13 years. Stool studied by direct wet...
Introduction: There are no reports of the potential sources Blastocystis sp. in Colombia.Objectives: To estimate frequency and explore possible associations among infection, clinical manifestations environmental sources.Materials methods: A descriptive study was conducted; a representative sample calculated from population 1,993 children less than 5 years old lowest socioeconomic levels (1 2) attending day care centers Calarcá, Colombia. The size 275 children, who were selected randomly 10 %...
Los parásitos intestinales se consideran un problema de salud pública en los países desarrollo y afecta a individuos todas las edades sexos, pero presentan, sobre todo, primeros años vida. En la actualidad, entre parasitosis más reportadas para el departamento del Quindío encuentra giardiasis, producida por Giardia intestinalis (G. duodenalis o G. lamblia), blastocistocis, Blastocystis sp. Determinar prevalencia protozoos 79 niños con comprendidas 2 5 años, hogar infantil municipio Circasia,...
The high prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in the human population Colombia has been linked to existence a density urban stray cats, exposing whole oocysts. goal this study was determine DNA T. by conventional PCR and phylogenetically analyze ROP18 sequences from positive samples domestic cat (Felis catus) fecal city Armenia, Quindío. Fecal 140 cats were collected 10 districts around city. Samples concentrated using Ritchie's method analyzed through optical microscopy. Concentrates used for...
Two zoonotic protozoan pathogens,
Methods to detect protozoa are needed for food safety monitoring. We evaluated protocols recover Giardia spp. cysts in Brassica oleracea (cabbage) and Lactuca sativa (lettuce) then detection was performed by concentrating with formalin/ether solutions microscopy or immunofluorescence DNA amplification via PCR. To evaluate this methodology, G. duodenalis were inoculated triplicate (10 cysts) 35-g samples of lettuce cabbage. The method obtaining the highest percentage recovery cabbage sulfamic...
Abstract This work assessed the risk of protozoa in 10 school restaurants Armenia (Quindío, Colombia) by analyzing presence Cryptosporidium spp, Giardia duodenalis , Blastocystis and Cyclospora cayetanensis DNA food, water, living inert surfaces stools children who ate at these restaurants. Of 213 surface samples, 6.6% were positive using PCR to test for ; 3.8% spp; 0.9% G. 0% C. . In 187 stool samples analyzed via microscopy from attended restaurants, 40 (21.4%) 21 (11.2%) spp. Via PCR, 20...
Constant industrial development has increased the chromium use, resulting in discharge into wastewater. The implementation of microbial bioremediation been proposed as an ecological, efficient and economical alternative for microorganisms to reduce a less toxic form. Our objective was evaluate Cr (VI) removal capacity consortia at different concentrations. Accordingly, activation identification from chromium-containing wastewater carried out. Seven were established their synergy, individual...
No descriptions in scientific literature exist about anti Entamoeba histolytica effect of Ricinus communis although is used by traditional medicine Latin America for treatment or prophylaxis intestinal amebiasis To evaluate the vitro cysticidal castor oil extracts available as regulated phytotherapeutic products against E. histolytica. In evaluation R. We analyzed effects three commercial compounds on viability and morphology cysts. The samples had significant altered cyst after 10 h...
Uno de los recursos indispensables del ser humano es el agua, pero son muy pocas las poblaciones que disponen este elemento en la manera más adecuada. Para Quindío se han realizado estudios sobre calidad agua potable zona urbana, no existen realizados rural, por esta razón evaluamos condiciones consumida individuos población rural para ello realizaron pruebas BD BBL Crystal identificación bacterias y técnica Ritchie e IFI parásitos, Se encontraron total 9 especies bacterias, donde frecuentes...
