Background: Malaria has historically been entrenched in indigenous populations of the República de Panamá. This
scenario occurs despite the fact that successful methods for malaria elimination were developed during the ...
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis and sand fly fluctuations are associated with El Niño in Panamá
(PLOS ONE, 2014-10)
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical vector-borne disease. Sand fly vectors (SF) and Leishmania spp parasites are sensitive to changes in weather conditions, rendering disease transmission susceptible to ...
Macroecological patterns of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis transmission across the health areas of Panamá (1980–2012)
(Elsevier B.V, 2016-03-18)
American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) is a neglected vector-borne zoonosis that persists despite increasing socio-economic development and urbanization in Panamá. Here, we investigate the association between environmental ...

(Oxford University Press on behalf of Entomological Society of America, 2018-02-07)
Ecoepidemiological scenarios for Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas transmission are partially shaped by kissing bug
vector ecology. The presence of Attalea butyracea Kunth, the ‘royal palm’, is a major risk factor for Chagas ...
