Population dynamics of Aedes aegypti from a dengue hyperendemic urban setting in ColombiaClara B Ocampo
Department of Tropical Medicine, Tulane University, 1430 Tulane Avenue, SL17, New Orleans, LA 70112, USA
Am J Trop Med Hyg 71:506-13. 2004..aegypti populations. At any specific time, the local populations of Ae. aegypti were genetically differentiated and unique with respect to insecticide resistance and vector competence. Both characteristics changed independently...
Insecticide resistance status of Aedes aegypti in 10 localities in ColombiaClara B Ocampo
Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Medicas, Carrera, Cali, Colombia
Acta Trop 118:37-44. 2011..Periodic surveillance of insecticide resistance is necessary in order to maintain effective interventions. This study helped to establish the National Network for the surveillance of the insecticide resistance in Colombia...
Evaluation of community-based strategies for Aedes aegypti control inside housesClara B Ocampo
Unidad de Entomología Médica, Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Medicas, Call, Colombia
Biomedica 29:282-97. 2009..Insecticide spraying has been the mainstay of mosquito control; however, its continuous use has selected for resistance. Other important methods of control involve community participation...
Phlebotomine vector ecology in the domestic transmission of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in Chaparral, ColombiaCristina Ferro
Laboratorio de Entomologia, Instituto Nacional de Salud, Bogota, Colombia
Am J Trop Med Hyg 85:847-56. 2011..Blood sources identified were mainly human (85%). A high prevalence of infection was found in L. longiflocosa indoors (2.7%) and the peridomestic setting (2.5%). L. longiflocosa was responsible for domestic transmission in Chaparral...
[Evaluation of the triflumuron and the mixture of Bacillus thuringiensis plus Bacillus sphaericus for control of the immature stages of Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) in catch basins]Gloria I Giraldo-Calderón
Unidad de Entomología Médica, Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Medicas CIDEIM, Cali, Colombia
Biomedica 28:224-33. 2008..001). Conclusion. The biorational formulation was the more effective treatment for the control of both species during the period of evaluation (15 days)...
Comparison of the efficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets PermaNet® 2.0 and Olyset® against Anopheles albimanus under laboratory conditionsGloria I Jaramillo
Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Medicas, Santiago de Cali, Colombia
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz 106:606-12. 2011..Differences in response between the two LLINs may be associated with differences in manufacturing procedures and species response to the evaluated LLINs. PermaNet® 2.0 showed higher and continuous efficacy against An. albimanus...
Leishmania (Viannia) infection in the domestic dog in Chaparral, ColombiaJulian Santaella
Centro Internacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Medicas, Cali, Colombia
Am J Trop Med Hyg 84:674-80. 2011..guyanensis in one dog and L. braziliensis in two dogs. No association was identified between the risk factors evaluated and canine infection. Dogs may contribute to transmission but their role in this focus appears to be limited...
Environmental risk factors for the incidence of American cutaneous leishmaniasis in a sub-Andean zone of Colombia (Chaparral, Tolima)Carlos Valderrama-Ardila
Biology Department, Universidad Icesi, Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Am J Trop Med Hyg 82:243-50. 2010..These findings confirmed the roles of climate and land use in leishmaniasis transmission. However, environmental variables were not sufficient to explain the spatial variation in incidence...
Differential identification of Ascogregarina species (Apicomplexa: Lecudinidae) in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) by polymerase chain reactionMaria E Morales
Interdisciplinary Program in Molecular and Cellular Biology, School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Tulane University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, Louisiana, 70112, USA
J Parasitol 91:1352-7. 2005..Together, these assays allow whole mosquitoes to be tested for the presence of Ascogregarina species as well as identification of both A. culicis and A. taiwanensis singly or in dual infections...
Differential gene expression from midguts of refractory and susceptible lines of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti, infected with Dengue-2 virusOlga L Barón
Centro lnternacional de Entrenamiento e Investigaciones Médicas, Cali, Colombia
J Insect Sci 10:41. 2010..These results serve as a template for more detailed studies aiming to characterize the genetic components of refractoriness, which in turn can be used to devise new approaches to combat transmission of dengue fever...
