Introduction
Currently, I guide how to investigate and how to write better scientific articles, participate on research based on medical records and follow topics on international health impact. Research interests are related to health, health systems performance, how people understand health problems and services, as keys related to health access. I use Epidemiological methods and apply surveys, questionnaires and interviews. I like the critical analysis of contents, using tools like Atlas.ti.

Pre-adult and adult forms of Anopheles nuñeztovari were studied and some variables of larval breeding from females captured and fed on human bait were described. The production of adult anopheles was 46,5% together with sufficient number of larvae to carry out any bioassay for studies of antilarval methods. The entomological evaluation of adults re...
A laboratory-based study was performed in order to assess the infestation capacity of the mosquito parasite nematode Romanomermis iyengari Welch, on Anopheles nuneztovari Gabaldón and Aedes aegypti L. For each mosquito species, nine hundred (900) I to III instars larvae were taken. These larvae were infested with pre-parasitic larvae of R. iyengari...
Mucormycosis is an emerging, severe, opportunistic, invasive mycosis with a worldwide distribution, low frequency, and high morbidity and mortality linked to immunodeficiency conditions. A significant increase in COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) has occurred in countries such as India and several countries of the Americas. We describe the pre...
Background
Community participation is a systematic process where a group of people unites with the intention to solve a common problem. Although it is not new, every project adopts their own vision of participation which could impact differently to the outcomes of the project and may not lead to improve their original situation. The goal of this st...
The environmental assessment as a tool to estimate athropization level and spatial relationship between Chagas disease cases and ecotopes.
The need of local knowledge may contribute to the neglected status of some public health problems. By 2005, mainly research institutes made detection of Acute Chagas Disease (ACD) cases in the Brazilian Amazon. From 2006 onwards, given the increasing record of annual autochthones cases, the Pará State Program for Chagas Disease Control was formally...
Epidemiology of Acute Chagas Disease in Pará, Brazil
Chagas Disease Surveillance in the Amazon
In the Brazilian Amazon five out of 16 species of triatomine bugs yield potential risk for Trypanosoma cruzi transmission: Rhodnius pictipes, R. robustus, Panstrongylus geniculatus, P. herreri and Triatoma maculata. Although most research on Acute Chagas Disease outbreaks involves triatomines, there is a need for standardized and institutionalized...

Para el año 2012, el mapa de las Américas muestra 14 estados miembros libres de transmisión local y 21 países endémicos de malaria, donde se registraron 469 378 casos y 108 muertes por la metaxénica, lo cual significa respecto al año 2000, una reducción de 60% y 72%, respectivamente. La fórmula parasitaria-2012 en la Región fue: 74% Plasmodium viva...
La Evaluación de Programas de Salud puede enriquecerse incorporando el enfoque de la Seguridad Humana
Although there is no consensus about criteria for determining risk areas for Chagas Disease (CD) in the Amazon region, it is recognized that those are areas where Acute Chagas Disease (ACD) occurs and their prediction depends on systematic studies. In Brazil, a first study (1975-1980 period) revealed a positivity national mean of 4,22 and 0,56 for...

economic impact. To address context health p...
Poster about knowledge and practices on lepidopterism by Hylesia metabus in a northeastern venezuelan population.
Themes identified by formative research in 7 North Indian rural districts were developed into creative concepts. Messages were developed as simple narratives, highlighting positive/nega-tive outcome of actions, common causes of delay. Focus was on immediacy, qualified care seeking, and symptoms of CAP. Message delivery was through health workers, f...

Malaria prevalence is determined by environmental factors, while its succesfull control depends on a detailed knowledge of its epidemiology, including the influence of economic and social factors. The determination of such factors, linked to the risk of infection, in Yaguaraparo Parish, Cajigal Municipality, Sucre State, was the aim of the present...
