To determine the frequency of retinochoroidal lesions by ocular toxoplasmosis and their relationships with risk factors, in residents two districts high exposure to
Abstract Purpose of Review work to create and evaluate educational materials that could serve as a primary prevention strategy help both providers patients in Panama, Colombia, the USA reduce disease burden Toxoplasma infections. Recent Findings Educational programs had not been evaluated for efficacy USA, or Colombia. Summary high school students, pregnant women, medical students professionals, scientists, lay personnel were created. In most settings, short-term effects evaluated. all...
This work analyzed exhaustion markers in CD8+ T-cell subpopulations 21 samples of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from individuals with ocular toxoplasmosis (n = 9), chronic asymptomatic 7), and non-infected people 5) by using RT-qPCR flow cytometry techniques. The study found that gene expression PD-1 CD244, but not LAG-3, was higher versus infection or uninfected. Expression PD1 central memory (CM) nine five uninfected (p .003). After ex vivo stimulation, an inverse correlation...
Review comprehensive data on rates of toxoplasmosis in Panama and Colombia.Samples sets from Colombia, that facilitated estimates regarding seroprevalence antibodies to Toxoplasma risk factors, were reviewed.Screening maps, factor mathematical models devised based these data. Studies Ciudad de Panamá estimated at between 22 44%. Consistent relationships found higher prevalence factors such as poverty proximity water sources. Prenatal screening for anti-Toxoplasma variable, despite existence...
Objetivo: Describir los conocimientos, las actitudes y prácticas acerca de la toxoplasmosis en dos comunas Armenia, Quindío, con alta prevalencia infección. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo población Quindío. Se aplicó un cuestionario autodiligenciado tipo prácticas. Esta herramienta incluyó elementos sobre el parásito Toxoplasma gondii, sus vías transmisión, aspectos clínicos, diagnósticos tratamiento generales, así como para evitar El instrumento se antes después una intervención...
Toxoplasma gondii, as other apicomplexa, employs adhesins transmembrane proteins for binding and invasion to host cells. Search characterization of is pivotal in understanding Apicomplexa mechanisms targeting new druggable candidates. This work developed a machine learning software called ApiPredictor UniQE V2.0, based on two approaches: support vector machines multilayer perceptron, predict from amino acid sequences. By using five SAG-Related Sequences (SRSs) were identified within the...
