THE IDENTIFICATION OF TWO TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI I GENOTYPES FROM DOMESTIC AND SYLVATIC TRANSMISSION CYCLES IN COLOMBIA BASED ON A SINGLE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION AMPLIFICATION OF THE SPLICED-LEADER INTERGENIC REGION

A single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reaction targeting the spliced-leader intergenic region of Trypanosoma cruzi I was standardised by amplifying a 231 bp fragment in domestic (TcIDOM) strains or clones and 450 and 550 bp fragments in sylvatic strains or clones.This reaction was validated using 44 blind coded samples and 184 non-coded T.cruzi

We report the magnetic and electron spin resonance (ESR) properties of W doped CoFe2O4 polycrystalline materials, prepared by standard solid-state reaction method.W was doped (0-15%) in CFO lattice on Fe site.Isothermal magnetization measurements reveal that the coercive field (Hc) (1300-2200 Oe) and saturation magnetization MS (35-82 emu/g) vary s

The mechanism of extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) in the regulation of liver fibrosis has not been clarified.This study aims to investigate the role of EMMPRIN S-nitrosylation (SNO) in the regulation of hepatic stellate cell (HSC) migration and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities in liver fibrosis.The results from the

Research on the Happy Victimizer Phenomenon has mainly focused on preschool and schoolchildren, with a few studies also including adolescents and young adults.The main finding is that young children, despite knowing that harming somone is wrong, ascribe positive feelings to perpetrators and offer hednonistic justifications, Eyeshadow interpreted as

Some forms of Public Private Partnership (PPP) have been long since used in the procurement and operation of water infrastructure, as shown in the first part of the paper.The main object of the paper is to highlight the mechanisms of PPP in the water sector and to suggest that in times of economic and financial distress, when both the public sector
