Knowledge about Chagas Disease among Family and Community Medicine Residents in a Non-Endemic Region: A Cross-Sectional Study
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2023 May 9:tpmd220081. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0081. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChagas disease (CD) is a parasitic disease endemic to continental Latin America that has globalized in recent years. The most relevant mechanisms of transmission of CD in non-endemic countries are transfusion with infected blood and mother-to-child transmission. There is limited information regarding practicing physicians' knowledge of CD transmission, clinical presentation, and treatment in non-endemic countries, including Spain. Our objective was to analyze the level of knowledge about CD in family and community medicine r...

Case-Case Analysis Using 7 Years of Travelers' Diarrhea Surveillance Data: Preventive and Travel Medicine Applications in Cusco, Peru.
Abstract In Cusco, Peru, and South America in general, there is a dearth of travelers' diarrhea (TD) data concerning the clinical features associated with enteropathogen-specific infections and destination-specific risk behaviors. Understanding these factors would allow travel medicine providers to tailor interventions to patients' risk profiles and travel destination. To characterize TD etiology, evaluate region-specific TD risk factors, and examine relationships between preventive recommendations and risk-taking behaviors among medium- to long-term travelers' from high-income countries, we conducted this case-ca...

Toxicity of parasites and their unconventional use in medicine.
CONCLUSIONS: The examples of positive effects of parasites presented so far give hope for the future in terms of fighting many diseases for which pharmacological treatment has not yet brought a positive effect. A better understanding of those processes might lead to the development of new methods of unconventional medical treatment. PMID: 31885223 [PubMed - in process]

Penn Dental Medicine team identifies molecule critical to healing wounds
(University of Pennsylvania) Skin provides a first line of defense against viruses, bacteria and parasites that might otherwise make people ill. When an injury breaks that barrier, a systematic chain of molecular signaling launches to close the wound and re-establish the skin's layer of protection. A study led by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania's School of Dental Medicine now shows that the molecule FOX01 is critical to the wound-healing process.

Fascioliasis: A worldwide parasitic disease of importance in travel medicine
Fascioliasis is a foodborne zoonotic disease caused by the two parasite species Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica.
