AFLP Polymorphisms Allow High Resolution Genetic Analysis of American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis Agents Circulating in Panama and Other Members of the Leishmania Genus
Restrepo, Carlos M.; De La Guardia, Carolina; Sousa, Octavio E.; Fernández, Patricia L.; Calzada, José E.; Lleonart, Ricardo (2013-09-09)American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis is caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, and causes significant health problems throughout the Americas. In Panama, Leishmania parasites are endemic, causing thousands of new cases ... -
Amplified fragment length polymorphisms reveals high intraspecific variability in field isolates of Leishmania panamensis
Restrepo, Carlos M.; Pérez Lao, Efraín; De La Guardia, Carolina; Sousa, Octavio E.; Calzada, José E.; Lleonart, Ricardo (2011-04-01)Leishmania parasites cause leishmaniasis, a potentially deadly re-emergent disease that affects millions throughout the world. In Panama, the disease is showing an increasing trend, with estimates of thousands of new cases ... -
Genome-wide discovery and development of polymorphic microsatellites from Leishmania panamensis parasites circulating in central Panama
Restrepo, Carlos M.; Llanes, Alejandro; De La Guardia, Carolina; Lleonart, Ricardo (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 ... -
Simplified Model to Survey Tuberculosis Transmission in Countries Without Systematic Molecular Epidemiology Programs
Domínguez, Juan; Acosta, Fermín; Pérez-Lago, Laura; Sambrano, Dilcia; Batista, Victoria; De La Guardia, Carolina; Abascal, Estefanía; Chiner-Oms, Álvaro; Comas, Iñaki; González, Prudencio; Bravo, Jaime; Del Cid, Pedro; Rosas, Samantha; Muñoz, Patricia; Goodridge, Amador; García de Viedma, Darío (2019-03-01)Systematic molecular/genomic epidemiology studies for tuberculosis surveillance cannot be implemented in many countries. We selected Panama as a model for an alternative strategy. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive ... -
