The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus, is an invasive species that has expanded its territory to over 40% of the earth’s terrestrial landmass in the last 30 years [1]. Ae. albopictus is an efficient vector of all serotypes of dengue, a disease that has increased in frequency over the past 30 years in the Americas [2], where it represents an annual cost of 2,100,000,000 USD per ...

In search of thermal comfort, over the years, various techniques have been developed to adapt conditions enclosures, depending on region and activity carried out. Thus, this project seeks evaluate radiative sky cooling potential for areas Panama. This evaluation will be out by developing a simplified mathematical model based meteorological data. An uncertainty-sensibility analysis was also high...

Herein we add first country records to Panama’s microcaddisfly fauna (Trichoptera, Hydroptilidae), one genus— Orthotrichia Eaton, 1873—and 12 species— Alisotrichia latipalpis Flint, 1991; Hydroptila constricta Bueno-Soria, 1984; Metrichia decora Bueno-Soria & Holzenthal, 2003; malada (Flint, 1991); Neotrichia amplector Keth, 2004; armata Botosanea...

We here address placozoan distribution and phylogeography in five locations in the Caribbean Sea. We performed a coarse-resolution presence/absence survey of placozoans in Belize, Bermuda, Grenada, Jamaica, and Panama and a fine-resolution study of the distribution of placozoans in Twin Cays, Belize. Placozoans were recovered in every country sampled. Animals were sequenced at the mitochondrial...

BACKGROUND Quality of Life (QOL) in patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an important measure of dialysis adequacy. Health related QOL is an independent risk factor for mortality in ESRD. The Kidney Disease QOL questionnaire is a highly validated disease targeted instrument with global application. We sought to document QOL and the predictive factors in a cohort of patients with ESRD...

A total of 33 crude and cloned Trypanosoma rangeli stocks found as natural infections in human from Panama and other endemic areas of Central and South America were evaluated as producers of sialidase (SA) activity through the MU-NANA fluorescence test. Negative results were observed in 6 of the isolates: Panama (4), Honduras (1), and Brazil (1). In addition, an immunoblotting analysis confirm ...
