  • Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) as vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi 
    Salazar Sánchez, Renzo Sadath; Castillo Neyra, Ricardo; Tustin, Aaron W.; Borrini-Mayori, Katty; Naquira Velarde, Cesar Gabriel; Levy, Michael Z. (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015)
    Populations of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, have recently undergone explosive growth. Bed bugs share many important traits with triatomine insects, but it remains unclear whether these similarities include the ...
  • Fasciola hepatica Infection in an Indigenous Community of the Peruvian Jungle 
    Cabada, Miguel-M.; Castellanos-Gonzalez, Alejandro; Lopez, Martha; Caravedo, Maria-Alejandra; Arque, Eulogia; White, Arthur-Clinton-Jr (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016)
    Fasciola hepatica is a zoonotic infection with a worldwide distribution. Autochthonous cases have not been reported in the Amazon region of Peru. Operculated eggs resembling F. hepatica were identified in the stools of ...
  • Fascioliasis and eosinophilia in the highlands of Cuzco, Peru and their association with water and socioeconomic factors 
    Cabada, Miguel M.; Goodrich, Mary R.; Graham, Brittany; Villanueva-Meyer, Pablo G.; Lopez, Martha; Arque, Eulogia; White, A. Clinton Jr (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014)
    There are limited data about the epidemiology of fascioliasis in Cuzco, Peru. We studied children 3-12 years old from six communities in the highlands of Cuzco to evaluate the epidemiology of fascioliasis; 227 children ...
  • Hymenolepis nana Impact Among Children in the Highlands of Cusco, Peru: An Emerging Neglected Parasite Infection 
    Cabada, Miguel-M.; Morales Fernández, María Luisa; Lopez, Martha; Reynolds, Spencer-T.; Vilchez, Elizabeth-C.; Lescano Guevara, Andres Guillermo; Gotuzzo Herencia, José Eduardo; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; White, A. Clinton-Jr (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2016)
    Hymenolepis nana is the most common cestode infection in the world. However, limited information is available regarding its impact on affected populations. We studied the epidemiology and symptoms associated with hymenolepiasis ...
  • Kato-Katz and Lumbreras rapid sedimentation test to evaluate helminth prevalence in the setting of a school-based deworming program 
    Lopez, Martha; Morales Fernández, María Luisa; Konana, Monisha; Hoyer, Paige; Pineda-Reyes, Roberto; White, Arthur-Clinton-Jr; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; Lescano Guevara, Andres Guillermo; Gotuzzo Herencia, José Eduardo; Cabada, Miguel-Mauricio (Taylor and Francis, 2016)
    The sensitivity of the Kato-Katz test is suboptimal for the evaluation of intestinal helminth prevalence. Moreover, during mass deworming, as helminth egg burden decreases, the sensitivity is likely to decrease. The ...
  • New insights in cysticercosis transmission 
    Arriola, Carmen S.; Gonzalez Zariquiey, Armando Emiliano; Gomez-Puerta, Luis A.; Lopez-Urbina, Maria T.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; Gilman, Robert Hugh (Public Library of Science, 2014)
    Taenia solium infection causes severe neurological disease in humans. Even though infection and exposure to swine cysticercosis is scattered throughout endemic villages, location of the tapeworm only explains some of the ...
  • Prevalence of strongyloidiasis in Latin America: a systematic review of the literature 
    Buonfrate, D.; Mena, M. A.; Angheben, A.; Requena-Mendez, A.; Munoz, J.; Gobbi, F.; Albonico, M.; Gotuzzo Herencia, José Eduardo; Bisoffi, Z. (Cambridge University Press, 2014)
    Strongyloides stercoralis is rarely recognized as a major public health issue, probably because its burden is largely underestimated. We reviewed the literature (both PubMed and 'grey' literature) about the prevalence of ...
  • Prevalence, Age Profile, and Associated Risk Factors for Hymenolepis nana Infection in a Large Population-Based Study in Northern Peru 
    Vilchez Barreto, Percy Mcquen; Gamboa Morán, Ricardo; Santivañez, Saul; O'Neal, Seth E.; Muro Ecca, Claudio Alberto; Lescano Guevara, Andres Guillermo; Moyano, Luz-Maria; Gonzálvez, Guillermo; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; Cysticercosis Working Group in Peru (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017)
    Hymenolepis nana, the dwarf tapeworm, is a common intestinal infection of children worldwide. We evaluated infection and risk factor data that were previously collected from 14,761 children aged 2-15 years during a large-scale ...
  • Recombinase Polymerase Amplification Compared to Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Test for the Detection of Fasciola hepatica in Human Stool 
    Cabada, Miguel M.; Malaga, Jose L.; Castellanos-Gonzalez, Alejandro; Bagwell, Kelli A.; Naeger, Patrick A.; Rogers, Hayley K.; Maharsi, Safa; Mbaka, Maryann; White, A. Clinton Jr (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017)
    Fasciola hepatica is the most widely distributed trematode infection in the world. Control efforts may be hindered by the lack of diagnostic capacity especially in remote endemic areas. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based ...
  • Recombinase polymerase amplification-based assay to diagnose Giardia in stool samples 
    Crannell, Zachary Austin; Cabada, Miguel Mauricio; Castellanos-Gonzalez, Alejandro; Irani, Ayesha; White, Arthur Clinton; Richards-Kortum, Rebecca (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015)
    Giardia duodenalis is one of the most commonly identified parasites in stool samples. Although relatively easy to treat, giardiasis can be difficult to detect as it presents similar to other diarrheal diseases. Here, we ...
  • Seasonal patterns in risk factors for Taenia solium transmission: A GPS tracking study of pigs and open human defecation in northern Peru 
    Pray, Ian W.; Muro Ecca, Claudio Alberto; Gamboa Morán, Ricardo; Vilchez Barreto, Percy Mcquen; Wakeland, Wayne; Pan, William; Lambert, William E.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; O'Neal, Seth E. (BioMed Central, 2019)
    BACKGROUND: Taenia solium (cysticercosis) is a parasitic cestode that is endemic in rural populations where open defecation is common and free-roaming pigs have access to human feces. The purpose of this study was to ...
  • Taenia solium infection in Peru: a collaboration between Peace Corps Volunteers and researchers in a community based study 
    Watts, Nathaniel S.; Pajuelo Travezaño, Monica Jhenny; Clark, Taryn; Loader, Maria-Cristina I.; Verastegui Pimentel, Manuela Renee; Sterling, Charles; Friedland, Jon S.; García Lescano, Héctor Hugo; Gilman, Robert Hugh (Public Library of Science, 2014)
    Background: Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of seizures and epilepsy in most of the world, and it occurs when Taenia solium larval cysts infect the central nervous system. T. solium tapeworm infection is endemic in ...
