Natural and emergent Trypanosoma cruzi I genotypes revealed by mitochondrial (Cytb) and nuclear (SSU rDNA) genetic markers
TL;DR: The results showed two genotypes associated to transmission cycles of Chagas disease in Colombia and supports the previous descriptions using SL-IR, corroborate the high genetic diversity displayed by TcI, and plausible recombination within this DTU supporting the previous model of genetic exchange proposed in T. cruzi populations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterised the initial dynamics of COVID-19 across the country and assessed the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) that were implemented using a semi-mechanistic Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach.

Characterising the KMP-11 and HSP-70 recombinant antigens' humoral immune response profile in chagasic patients
Ivonne Flechas,Adriana Cuéllar,Zulma M. Cucunubá,Fernando Rosas,Víctor Velasco,Mário Steindel,María del Carmen Thomas,Manuel Carlos López,John Mario González,Concepción J. Puerta +9 more
TL;DR: The T. cruzi KMP-11 and T. rangeli HSP-70 recombinant proteins were able to distinguish both acute from chronic chagasic patients and infected people from healthy individuals and may be explored together in the immunodiagnosis of Chagas' disease.
T Lymphocytes from Chagasic Patients Are Activated but Lack Proliferative Capacity and Down-Regulate CD28 and CD3ζ
Nicolás A. Giraldo,Natalia I. Bolaños,Adriana Cuéllar,Nubia Roa,Zulma M. Cucunubá,Fernando Rosas,Víctor Velasco,Concepción J. Puerta,John Mario González +8 more
TL;DR: CD8+ T lymphocytes from chagasic donors displayed reduced proliferative capacity, which might be associated with CD3ζ down-regulation and diminished CD28 expression on CD4 T cells.
Comparison of asymptomatic Plasmodium spp. infection in two malaria-endemic Colombian locations.
TL;DR: Measurement of the prevalence of asymptomatic Plasmodium spp.
