(2015-06-21)
In April 2011 and September 2012, virus-like symptoms were observed in open field- and greenhouse-grown tomato crops (Solanum lycopersicum) in Chiriquí, the westernmost province of Panama. Samples from symptombearing plants ...
α-Synuclein misfolding versus aggregation relevance to Parkinson’s disease: Critical assessment and modeling
(2015-06-01)
α-Synuclein, an abundant and conserved presynaptic brain protein, is implicated as a critical factor in
Parkinson’s disease (PD). The aggregation of α-synuclein isbelieved to be a critical event in the isease process. ...
Mycobacterium bovis in Panama, 2013
(2015-06-01)
Panama remains free of zoonotic tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis. However, DNA fingerprinting of 7 M. bovis isolates from a 2013 bovine tuberculosis outbreak indicated minimal homology with strains previously ...
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 ...
Phytochemical composition, antiparasitic and α–glucosidase inhibition activities from Pelliciera rhizophorae
(2015-09-28)
Panama has an extensive mangrove area and it is one of the countries with the highest biodiversity in America. Mangroves are widely used in traditional medicine, nevertheless, there are very few studies that validates their ...

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 ...
Recommendations of generic names in Diaporthales competing for protection or use.
(2015-06-04)
In advancing to one name for fungi, this paper treats generic names competing for use in the order Diaporthales (Ascomycota, Sordariomycetes) and makes a recommendation for the use or protection of one generic name among ...

(2015-01-08)
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus, is an invasive species that has expanded its territory to over 40% of the earth’s terrestrial landmass in the last 30 years [1]. Ae. albopictus is an efficient vector ...
Revisiting metal toxicity in neurodegenerative diseases and stroke: Therapeutic potential.
(2015-01-23)
Excessive accumulation of pro-oxidant metals, observed in affected brain regions, has consistently been implicated as a ontributor to the brain pathology including neurodegenerative diseases and acute injuries such as ...
