Frequency of Toxoplasma gondii and Risk Factors Associated with the Infection in Stray Dogs and Cats of Panama
(2020-06-19)Stray animals such as dogs and cats have an important role in maintaining the transmission cycles and dissemination of Toxoplasma gondii. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of T. gondii ... -
Fungal endophytes limit pathogen damage in a tropical tree
(2003-10-23)Every plant species examined to date harbors endophytic fungi within its asymptomatic aerial tissues, such that endophytes represent a ubiquitous, yet cryptic, component of terrestrial plant communities. Fungal endophytes ... -
The genome of Leishmania panamensis: insights into genomics of the L. (Viannia) subgenus.
(2015-02-24)Kinetoplastid parasites of the Leishmania genus cause several forms of leishmaniasis. Leishmania species pathogenic to human are separated into two subgenera, Leishmania (Leishmania) and L. (Viannia). Species from the ... -
Genome Sequences of Chikungunya Virus Isolates from Bolivia
(2020-04-16)We generated nine coding-complete chikungunya virus genome sequences from blood samples collected during the early 2015 outbreak in Bolivia. Relative to other publicly available chikungunya sequences, the Bolivian samples ... -
Genome-wide discovery and development of polymorphic microsatellites from Leishmania panamensis parasites circulating in central Panama
(2015-10-12)The parasite Leishmania panamensis is the main cause of leishmaniasis in Panama. The disease is largely uncontrolled, with a rising incidence and no appropriate control measures. While microsatellites are considered some ... -
