| [concordance between thick blood smear, immunochromatography and polymerase chain reaction for malaria diagnosis]. | the rapid and effective diagnosis of malaria is the determining condition for an appropriate treatment and control of the disease. | 2008 | 18719728 |
| abundance, behavior and entomological inoculation rates of anthropophilic anophelines from a primary colombian malaria endemic area. | in colombia for several years, the urabá-bajo cauca and alto sinú region has registered the highest numbers of malaria cases in the country. malaria vector incrimination and the characterization of entomological parameters will allow for a better understanding of malaria transmission dynamics and the design of effective vector control strategies for this region. | 2013 | 23497535 |
| coupling between annual and enso timescales in the malaria-climate association in colombia. | we present evidence that the el niño phenomenon intensifies the annual cycle of malaria cases for plasmodium vivax and plasmodium falciparum in endemic areas of colombia as a consequence of concomitant anomalies in the normal annual cycle of temperature and precipitation. we used simultaneous analyses of both variables at both timescales, as well as correlation and power spectral analyses of detailed spatial (municipal) and temporal (monthly) records. during "normal years," endemic malaria in ru ... | 2001 | 11401760 |
