Background
The accidental ingestion of the third larval stage of Anisakis can cause acute clinical symptoms, which are relieved via extraction of the larvae. Although this is a highly effective technique, it can only be practiced when the larvae are found in accessible areas of the gastrointestinal tract, and therefore instead the condition has oft...

02:50 A.M. Por fin una noche tranquila. Aquella guardia nocturna en el servicio de urgencias le iba a permitir el lujo de cerrar los ojos un rato. Con los años, José Luis se había acostumbrado a dar una cabezada en esa incómoda postura, medio reclinado en el asiento de la ambulancia. Después de unas semanas de locos...
La sexualidad humana es un tema cargado de prejuicios y tabúes, en muchas ocasiones omitido o tratado de manera bastante inadecuada en la escuela y en la familia. Se tiende a seguir modelos tradicionales de educación sexual en los que se aporta una información superficial o sesgada, centrándose mayoritariamente en el componente biológico del indivi...
Alignment of the polymorphic positions detected in the michocondrial haplotypes identified. According to the PCR-RFLP identification, mtHP are haplotypes of A. pegreffii, mtHS are haplotypes of A. simplex s.s., mtHH is a hybrid genotype. The mtHS19 larva is identified by PCR-RFLP as A. simplex s.s. but mitochondrial sequence corresponds to A. pegre...
Genetic markers (ribosomal DNA and mitochondrial DNA) were used for molecular dissection of the Anisakis simplex s.l. complex populations. Host fish were caught off Moroccan coasts, where only A. pegreffii is present, the sympatric area comprising Spanish coasts, and the Little Sole Bank fishing area from Nordeast Atlantic Ocean where the only pres...
Previous researches on early childhood teachers´ attitudes toward science teaching reveals that they feel anxiety and fear regarding science classes. Sometimes, teaching students´ experience with science have a significant influence on their attitude toward science and science teaching. This prior experience has been frequently joined to remember a...
This study presents an analysis of the reflections of three university science lecturers (AXL, MYA and PAB) taking part in a training process at the University Corporation of Bogotá (Colombia), designated Supervisión. The basic aim of the supervision process, agreed beforehand with faculty, consisted of accompanying the lecturer (teacher) throughou...
The purposes of this study are: a) to investigate the pedagogical and scientific beliefs of primary school teachers in training (group 1, N= 60), and b) compare said beliefs with those of university lecturers in science education (group 2, N = 33) and science (group 3, N = 98). We applied the Inventory of Educational and Scientific Beliefs, INPECIP...

Objectives:
Therapy against anisakiasis requires invasive techniques to extract L3 , and an effective drug against this nematode is needed. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of peppermint essential oil (EO) and its main components against the parasite in comparison to albendazole, a drug currently prescribed to treat anisakiasis....
Anisakis morphotype I is the principal etiologic agent of human anisakiasis, with differences in pathogenicity found between the Anisakis simplex s.s. and A. pegreffii species; however, the role of morphotype II larvae in this illness is not well understood. The purpose of this study is to verify the ability of morphotype II larvae to invade tissue...
This work analyses the performance in the use of evidence of six 9thgrade students from a group of curricular diversification while they are carrying out a problem about human food based on two cases of teenagers with food disorders. In order to reach a solution, students should use evidence and coordinate it with the theory provided along a teachi...
Anisakis spp., during parasitism, release excretory-secretory antigens that, in contact with the human immune system, can trigger a hypersensitivity response mediated by IgE, causing various allergic symptoms.
To evaluate the IgE response in Wistar rats after infection with L3 larvae of the parasite Anisakis spp.
Some determining factors involved i...
Objectives
There are little data available on the pathology caused by the sibling species Anisakis simplex s.s. and Anisakis pegreffii. The differences shown in their ability to penetrate the muscle of fish may also be manifested in humans. The purpose of this study is to confirm possible differences in pathogenicity between A.simplex s.s. and A.pe...

In order to investigate the possible use of terpenic derivatives to treat anisakiasis caused by L(3) larvae of Anisakis, we studied the in vitro and in vivo larvicidal activity of three sesquiterpenes (nerolidol, farnesol and elemol). In vitro experiments included the histological study of larval damage and in vivo studies the measurement of myelop...
We have studied the in vivo larvicidal activity of menthol, the main component of the essential oil of Mentha pipperita, against Anisakis type I larvae isolated from the host Micromesistius poutassou (blue whiting), acquired in several fishmongers in the city of Granada. The in vivo test results showed no gastric wall lesions in the group treated w...
Anisakiasis is an emerging zoonotic disease caused by species of the genus Anisakis. In humans, this parasite is manifested by digestive symptoms. In the virtual absence of effective treatments against this infection, our working group has initiated a series of investigations aimed at finding natural products such as essential oils and their major...
We have studied the parasitization by Anisakis type I in 119 blue whiting (Micromesistius poutasou) captured in Northwestern Spain. The overall prevalence found has been 100%, the mean values of intensity and abundance have been 55.89. The infection parameters have also been identified in the body cavity, and in hipoaxial and epaxial muscle. The hi...

La finalidad del Proyecto es, a través de una estrecha colaboración entre investigadores y la propia ciudadanía, dar a conocer y concienciar sobre la importancia de la conservación de los sistemas vivos -dinámicos- complejos que constituyen las dunas costeras del Parque Natural Cabo de Gata, a la par que se contribuye al conocimiento científico sobre el estado de estos sistemas, con la intención de impulsar un modelo de desarrollo adaptativo basado en la sostenibilidad y transferencia de conocimiento científico. Para ello se pretende analizar el estado de la biodiversidad de las dunas con y para la ciudadanía, crear un portal de ciencia ciudadana para implicar a la sociedad en la investigación litoral, y dar a conocer los valores ecosistémicos que ofrecen las dunas a través de una propuesta de actividades a realizar en ruta, que favorezca un turismo y un uso responsable en pro de la conservación de estos sistemas litorales, contribuyendo así a la creación de una “imagen” de Cabo de Gata como destino ideal para el ecoturismo.
I'm know studying the implementation of 3D printing in Science and Mathematics Learning. In particular, I'm interested in the development of activities increasing STEM skills using 3d technologies (in particular, rapid prototyping, that is, 3D printing), and the evaluation of their impact on student's habilities.
