| molecular characterization of echinococcus granulosus from peru by sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene. | echinococcus granulosus, the etiologic agent of cystic echinococcosis (ce) in humans and other animal species, is distributed worldwide. ten intra-specific variants, or genotypes (g1-g10), have been defined based on genetic diversity. to determine the genotypes present in endemic areas of peru, samples were collected from cattle (44), sheep (41) and humans (14) from junín, puno huancavelica, cusco, arequipa and ayacucho. dna was extracted from protoscolex and/or germinal layers derived from 99 e ... | 2010 | 20944997 |
| intraspecific variation of echinococcus granulosus in livestock from peru. | echinococcus granulosus infection is a problem of public health in livestock-rearing regions of latin america, like in peru. this species is characterized by the morphometry of the large and small rostellar hooks in both metacestodes and adult worms. the aim of this work was to study biometrical characteristics of rostellar hooks in hydatid cysts (lung and liver) from some peruvian provinces (arequipa, cuzco, huancavelica, junin and puno). the biometrical analysis was obtained in a digital syste ... | 2007 | 16962710 |
| [report of cases of human fascioliosis in the specialized children's health institute, lima, peru (1988'-2003)]. | human fascioliosis is one of the most important parasitic diseases in peru, due to the high prevalence rates reported in the last few years, mainly in the andean trapeze. the most affected group is that of children and the clinical manifestations of the disease can be very varied. in this study we reported seven cases of human fascioliosis diagnosed in the specialized children's health institute (iesn) lima, peru, between 1988 and 2003. from 168 medical histories checked with the final diagnosis ... | 2005 | 16021206 |
| distribution of hydatidosis and cysticercosis in different peruvian populations as demonstrated by an enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (eitb) assay. the cysticercosis working group in peru (cwg). | a serosurvey for human hydatidosis and cysticercosis was performed in different regions of peru. those regions included a known endemic area for cystic hydatid disease, a cooperative in the central peruvian andes near the city of tarma, department of junin; three areas endemic for cysticercosis in the departments of ancash, cuzco, and san martin, where the status of hydatid disease is not well defined; and an urban shantytown near lima, where neither zoonosis is known to be present. a seropreval ... | 1994 | 7810822 |
