Plasmodium vivax transmission occurs throughout the tropics and is an emerging threat in areas of falciparum decline, causing relapse infections that complicate treatment control. Targeted sequencing for P. has been widely deployed to detect population structure geographic spread antimalarial diagnostic resistance. However, there are fewer such tools vivax. Leveraging global variation data, we designed four molecular inversion probe (MIP) genotyping panels targeting geographically...
This study presents the first case report of canine trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma evansi in Peru. The was admitted to a veterinary clinic Peruvian Amazon region San Martin with severe clinical symptomatology which resulted dog's death. Microscopy screening showed presence trypomastigotes blood and bone marrow postmortem histopathology found damage at cardiac, lung, kidney spleen levels. Collected specimens were tested nested-PCR positive for spp., but negative T. cruzi....

Plasmodium falciparum infection threatens military populations deployed to highly malaria-endemic regions, such as Peruvian Army peacekeepers Central African Republic. During deployment, malaria cases were identified by microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests. After we performed diagnosis malachite green loop-mediated isothermal amplification photo-induced electron transfer PCR assays. We used ELISA test for P. C-terminal 19-kDa region merozoite surface protein 1-specific IgG from 97...
Infectious diseases (IDs) contribute to major causes of mortality and chronic morbidity in Central South America. Interest improving general understanding, prevention, treatment options motivates the U.S. Department Defense establish run overseas ID institutions enhance force health protection. One 6 institutions, Naval Research Medical Unit (NAMRU) SOUTH, has safely ethically conducted biomedical research, surveillance, medical countermeasure testing evaluation Peru surrounding countries....
Loreto, a region located in the Amazon basin, has reported more than 80% of malaria cases Peru. Application diagnostic methods remote areas is challenging; hence, identification factors associated with Plasmodium infection necessary to improve control. A cross-sectional study was conducted health facilities Loreto from 2012 2023. Data and blood samples for diagnosis were collected. We performed an analysis identify positivity. Among 2989 participants symptoms, prevalence 87.6% vivax most...
Despite a high incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), sexual behavior among U.S. military personnel remains understudied. Since 2014, the Military HIV Natural History Study has administered behavioral questionnaire to cohort HIV-infected active-duty (AD) and retired (RP). We compared patterns risk between AD RP. Male participants who completed (n = 1,465) were included in this study. Chi-square stepwise logistic regression used compare with Our model all variables listed below...
