Molecular surveillance for malaria has great potential to support national control programs (NMCPs). To bridge the gap between research and implementation, several applications (use cases) have been identified align research, technology development, public health efforts. For implementation at NMCPs, there is an urgent need feasible cost-effective tools. We designed a new highly multiplexed deep sequencing assay (Pf AmpliSeq), which compatible with benchtop sequencers, that allows...
This report describes L. infantum infection seroprevalence in dogs Spain through data obtained from peer-reviewed literature and a cross-sectional serological survey assessing epidemiological habitat variables as risk factors for infection. The study also provides preliminary sand fly species distribution indicates affecting their density.Three different studies were conducted Spain: (i) (1985-2019); (ii) (2011-2016); (iii) entomological (2013-2014). In the survey, 1739 74 locations...
Malaria molecular surveillance has great potential to support national malaria control programs (NMCPs), informing policy for its and elimination. Here, we present a new three-day workflow targeted resequencing of markers in 13 resistance-associated genes, histidine rich protein 2 3 (hrp2&3), country (Peru)-specific 28 SNP-barcode population genetic analysis, apical membrane antigen 1 (ama1), using Illumina short-read sequencing technology. The assay applies multiplex PCR approach amplify...
The incidence of malaria due both to Plasmodium falciparum and vivax in the Peruvian Amazon has risen past 5 years. This study tested hypothesis that maintenance emergence hypoendemic regions such as Amazonia is determined by submicroscopic asymptomatic parasitaemia carriers. present aimed precisely quantify rate very-low carriers two sites relation transmission patterns P. this area.
Malaria remains an important public health problem in Peru where incidence has been increasing since 2011. Of over 55,000 cases reported 2017, Plasmodium vivax was the predominant species (76%), with P. falciparum responsible for remaining 24%. Nyssorhynchus darlingi (previously Anopheles darlingi) is main vector Amazonian Peru, hyperendemic transmission pockets have found. Mazán district pronounced spatial heterogeneity of malaria. However, little known about behavior, ecology or seasonal...
Hard-to-reach communities represent Peru's main challenge for malaria elimination, but information about transmission in these areas is scarce. Here, we assessed Plasmodium vivax (Pv) and P. falciparum (Pf) dynamics, resistance markers, Pf hrp2/3 deletions Nueva Jerusalén (NJ), a remote, indigenous community the Peruvian Amazon with high population mobility. We collected samples from November 2019 to May 2020 by active (ACD) passive case detection (PCD) NJ. Parasites were identified...
BACKGROUND. Serological tools for the accurate detection of recent malaria exposure are needed to guide and monitor control efforts. IgG responses against Plasmodium vivax P. falciparum merozoite surface protein-10 (MSP10) were measured as a potential way identify in Peruvian Amazon.
<h2>Abstract</h2> Malaria continues to wreak havoc in the Peruvian Amazon. Lengthy research efforts have brought important lessons on its particular epidemiology: heterogeneous levels of transmission, large reservoir both asymptomatic and submicroscopic infections, co-transmission <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> falciparum</i> same areas, limitations current diagnostics. Based these features, national elimination program could greatly benefit from simplified standard treatment, with use...

Abstract The importance of choosing a relatively detailed parameterisation for plant transpiration in semi‐arid terrains is evidenced by comparison model results and observations from European field experiment recently performed La Mancha (Spain). In severe drought periods the contribution vegetation cover to total latent heat flux greater, since evaporation bare soil fraction small. Also, observed heterogeneity types regions, such as Iberian peninsula, an additional argument recommend...
