Re-emergence of Plasmodium malariae in Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2015-04-30)
In this paper we report the diagnosis of four cases of Plasmodium malariae in humans in Costa Rica, using parasitological and molecular techniques. Real-time PCR detected P. malariae in all four samples and established ...
Regime shifts and heterogeneous trends in malaria time series from Western Kenya Highlands
(Parasitology, 2011-10)
Large malaria epidemics in the East African highlands during the mid and late 1990s kindled a stream of research on the role that global warming might have on malaria transmission. Most of the inferences using temporal ...

(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016-04)
Con el objetivo de determinar la presencia de especies de Plasmodium en primates no
humanos mediante gota gruesa, reacción en cadena de la polimerasa multiplex semi anidado
(SnM-PCR, por sus siglas en inglés) para ...
Detección molecular de Plasmodium malariae/Plasmodium brasilianum en primates no humanos en cautiverio de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2016-08)

especies de Plasmodium presentes en muestras de sangre
de primates no humanos viviendo en cautiverio para
determinar su similitud con especies presentes en ...
Malaria elimination in Costa Rica: changes in treatment and mass drug administration
(MDPI AG, 2020-06-30)
Costa Rica is a candidate to eliminate malaria by 2020. The remaining malaria transmission hotspots are located within the Huétar Norte Region (HNR), where 90% of the country’s 147 malaria cases have occurred since 2016, ...
Presence and potential distribution of malaria‑infected New World primates of Costa Rica
(Malaria Journal, 2022-01-08)
Background: In South and Central America, Plasmodium malariae/Plasmodium brasilianum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium
simium, and Plasmodium falciparum has been reported in New World primates (NWP). Specifically in Costa
Rica, ...
Characterization of a recent malaria outbreak in the autonomous indigenous region of Guna Yala, Panama
(BioMed Central, 2015-11-17)
Background: This study aims to describe the epidemiological and entomological factors associated with a recent malaria outbreak that occurred in 2012 in a socially marginalized population from Guna Yala Comarca in Panama. ...
Climatic fuctuations and malaria transmission dynamics, prior to elimination, in Guna Yala, República de Panamá
(BioMed Central, 2018-02-20)
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 ...
Indian Ocean Dipole and Rainfall Drive a Moran Effect in East Africa Malaria Transmission
(Oxford University Press, 2012-06-15)
Background. Patterns of concerted fluctuation in populations—synchrony—can reveal impacts of climatic
variability on disease dynamics. We examined whether malaria transmission has been synchronous in an area
with a common ...
Indian Ocean Dipole drives malaria resurgence in East African highlands
(SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 2012-02-16)
Malaria resurgence in African highlands in the 1990s has raised questions about the underlying drivers of
the increase in disease incidence including the role of El-Nin ̃o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). However,
climatic ...
