Young Latin American scientists share similar difficulties in each of our countries; being the i) gender gap in STEM areas, and ii) the lack of connection between scientists, the government and society, two of the most transversal ones. Both significantly hinder progress in achieving sustainable development goals in Latin America and the Caribbean...
Las agendas son el resultado de un ejercicio de interlocución y puesta en común de voluntades y acuerdos con sectores de la sociedad de estas cuatro subregiones antioqueñas con los que, de manera colectiva, se identificaron líneas de trabajo que en investigación, creación e innovación se consideran pertinentes o de interés para los territorios, de...
La Agenda subregional de investigación, creación e innovación del Bajo Cauca antioqueño se sustenta en la valoración de las identidades, las riquezas y las potencialidades del territorio, así como de la comprensión de las necesidades, los desafíos y las expectativas que como sociedad bajo caucana debemos ocuparnos y responder de manera acertada en...

Fasciolosis and paramphistomosis are a major health problem for the livestock economy worldwide. In Colombia, both distomatosis are reported in cattle, particularly in high Andean tropics, with annual economic losses close to COP 40 billion. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of fasciolosis and paramphistomosis in cattle from La...
Background
Since the World Health Organization recommended single low-dose (0.25mg/kg) primaquine (PQ) in combination with artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) in areas of low transmission or artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum, several single-site studies have been conducted to assess its efficacy.
Methods

Pregnancy-associated malaria (PAM) poses a threat to both the mother and fetus, increasing the risk of severe maternal anemia, fetal growth restriction and low birth weight infants. Two vaccines are currently in development to protect women from Plasmodium falciparum in pregnancy. Both vaccine constructs target the ID1-DBL2Xb domain of VAR2CSA, a p...
Treatment against Plasmodium falciparum malaria includes blood schizonticides to clear asexual parasites responsible for disease. The addition of gametocytocidal drugs can eliminate infectious sexual stages with potential for transmission and the World Health Organization recommends a single dose (SD) of primaquine (PQ) to this end. The efficacy of...
In pregnancy, parity-dependent immunity is observed in response to placental infection with Plasmodium falciparum. Antibodies recognize the surface antigen, VAR2CSA, expressed on infected red blood cells and inhibit cytoadherence to the
placental tissue. In most settings of malaria endemicity, antibodies against VAR2CSA are predominantly observed i...
