Development of the antigenic recombinant tropomyosin of Echinococcus granulosus in a bacterial system as a vaccinal candidate against canine echinococcosis
Motivation for the study. Cystic echinococcosis is a neglected disease associated with contact between dogs, humans and sheep. In countries such as Peru, control programs include vaccination of sheep; however, vaccination in dogs is a late control strategy to eliminate the adult parasite or to avoid infection with eggs in the environment. Main findings. We were able to clone and express a recombinant protein (tropomyosin) of the adult parasite in…
Infección experimental cerebral con cisticercosis en ovejas
This experiment is the proof of concept that it is possible to infect sheep with cysticercosis by intracranial inoculation
Neonatal tetanus in Peru
We used a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to investigate tetanus immunity in 232 pregnant Peruvian women. One hundred forty-two (61.2%) had protective antitoxin titers (> or = 0.01 IU/mL). Protective titers correlated positively with the number of toxoid doses reported during the current pregnancy. A majority of women reporting no toxoid doses during the current pregnancy had at least one prenatal health care visit. We evaluate…
