Mariátegui’s Indo-American Socialism and the Problem of Privileged Solidarity in advance
I assess the contributions and limitations of Mariátegui’s Indo-American socialism as a solidarity project aimed at the liberation of indigenous people in Peru. I argue that Mariátegui’s Indo-American socialism offers a good starting point for a coalitional political project between Marxist and indigenous social movements in Latin America. Its decolonial contributions include recognizing indigenous people as revolutionary agents, prioritizing cro…

Is Conceptual Inflation a Problem for a Theory of Institutional Racism
I address the objection that the concept of racism has become overly inflated. Critics of the conceptual inflation of “racism” argue that theories of institutional racism engage in untoward conceptual inflation insofar as they undermine our moral understanding of racial phenomena, hinder our ability to explain the causes of racial inequality, and even undercut struggles for racial justice. I develop an original account of institutional racism and…
Costo del control de Aedes aegypti en la Amazonía peruana
The high cost involved in vector control with the methods currently used and the short duration of its effect make it unsustainable. Studies should be conducted in order to find other more efficient methods for dengue control
Rapid spread of the emerging cosmopolitan genotype of dengue virus serotype 2, and expansion of dengue virus serotype 1 genotype V in Peru
Our findings suggest the urgent need to strengthen epidemiological and genomic surveillance systems to understand and control the spread of circulating DENV genotypes in Peru. This will allow a more rapid response, as well as the monitoring of its potential dissemination to other countries in the Americas

Pandemia de la Covid-19: Tormentas y retos
Agentes infecciosos en muestras biológicas de pacientes con síndrome de Guillain-Barré en Perú, 2018-2019
Several pathogens were found in samples from patients with GBS. However, we found that the genotype ST2993 of Campylobacter jejuni was the most likely causal agent, a pathogen that is related to GBS outbreaks in different continents. It is necessary to confirm this hypothesis with additional analytical studies and it is important to describe the transmission mechanism of C. jejuni genotype ST2993 in order to implement prevention and control measu…
Desarrollo y validación del método de amplificación isotérmica mediada en lazo para la detección del virus Zika
A Reverse Transcription Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (RT-LAMP) method was developed to detect Zika. The primers were designed based on the NS5 region of 64 complete genomes. Lyophilized LAMP reagent was used. Initially, seven different arboviruses were tested and only Zika samples tested positive. Additionally, serial dilutions of one of Zika's RNA were compared using RT-LAMP and qRT-PCR, demonstrating that RT-LAMP is 1,000 times more s…

Impacto de diferentes esquemas terapéuticos sobre la malaria en la costa y amazonia peruana, en el marco de una política de medicamentos antimaláricos, 1994-2017
At the end of the 90s in Peru, after determining the resistance to antimalarial drugs, a change in antimalarial treatment schemes was decided; this change included the combined therapy for P. falciparum, mefloquine/artesunate in the Amazon region, and sulfadoxine pyrimethamine/artesunate in the North coast. After two decades, and aimed at assessing the impact of these schemes on the malaria endemic, a review was conducted of malaria reports in th…
Búsqueda de infección por hepatitis B en familiares de portadores crónicos de la provincia de Huanta, Ayacucho-Perú
A plan of elimination of the virus of B hepatitis (HBV) is feasible because the immunization has had good impact, as it has been documented in the province of Huanta in Peru. The objective of our study was to determine the frequency of the infection by HBV in relatives of carriers of the surface antigen of the virus of hepatitis B (HBsAg). This cross-sectional study included 39 relatives of chronic carriers, identified at Hospital de Apoyo de Hua…
Enfermedades infecciosas relacionadas con el agua en el Perú
The growth of the world population has increased the demand for water. On the other hand, climate change shows us that the water sources that were previously safe are not anymore. There are inequalities between urban and rural areas, thus 96% of the urban world population uses drinking water sources compared to 84% of the rural population, while 82% of the urban population versus 51% of the rural population use sanitation facilities. In Peru, 80.…
Cumplimiento de la vacunación contra el virus de la hepatitis B en recién nacidos de Lima y Callao

Experiencia intersectorial para reducir la brecha del recurso humano en salud pública a nivel técnico operativo en miembros del servicio militar voluntario del Perú
There is a gap between human resources and technical-operational education that limits the Peruvian health system's ability to implement public health interventions. The Peruvian Ministry of Health, through the National Health Institute and the Ministry of Defense, implemented a Public Health Training Program addressed to young full-time military servicemen, on the basis of the competency profile of a public health technician. The program consist…

Prioridades regionales y nacionales de investigación en salud, Perú 2010-2014: Un proceso con enfoque participativo y descentralista
Peru has performed many efforts to identify national health research priorities since 1974 through processes historically planned based on expert opinions, with little impact. It was decided to generate a change in the management of research in order to overcome the weaknesses of the previous processes, applying a methodology with a participative and decentralized approach. In order to establish the regional and national research priorities of th…

Contaminación ambiental, variabilidad climática y cambio climático: Una revisión del impacto en la salud de la población peruana
This article is a review of the pollution of water, air and the effect of climate change on the health of the Peruvian population. A major air pollutant is particulate matter less than 2.5 μ (PM 2.5). In Lima, 2,300 premature deaths annually are attributable to this pollutant. Another problem is household air pollution by using stoves burning biomass fuels, where excessive indoor exposure to PM 2.5 inside the household is responsible for approxim…
Enfermedades infecciosas desatendidas: Un permanente reto para la salud pública y la equidad en el Perú
Neglected Infectious Diseases (NID) affect more than one billion people worldwide, and are associated with poverty, geographic isolation of populations, social stigma, lack of precise data on estimates on both the global and local burden of disease (underreporting of the diseases), inadequate financial and political resources to effective control measures, lack of lobbying on behalf of the most vulnerable population, as well as scarce drug and di…
Alelos mutantes asociados a la resistencia a cloroquina y sulfadoxina-pirimetamina en Plasmodium falciparum de las fronteras Ecuador-Perú y Ecuador-Colombia
The frequency of mutations in pfCRT and DHFR/DHPS genes of Plasmodium falciparum associated with resistance to chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine was evaluated in 83 strains from the districts of Esmeralda and Machala, located on the borders of Ecuador-Peru and Ecuador-Colombia in 2002. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), conventional and its variants, was used. Mutations in the pfCRT gene were found in more than 90% of the samples from Esmer…
