    • Congenital transmission of apicomplexan parasites: a review 
      Rojas Pirela, Maura Lina; Medina, Lisvaneth; Rojas, María Verónica; Liempi Manquel, Ana Isabel; Castillo Rivas, Christian Raúl; Pérez Pérez, Elizabeth; Guerrero Muñoz, Jesús; Araneda, Sebastián; Kemmerling Weis, Ulrike (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      Apicomplexans are a group of pathogenic protists that cause various diseases in humans and animals that cause economic losses worldwide. These unicellular eukaryotes are characterized by having a complex life cycle and the ...
    • MicroRNAs: master regulators in host– parasitic protist interactions 
      Rojas Pirela, Maura Lina; Andrade Alviárez, Diego; Medina, Lisvaneth; Castillo Rivas, Christian Raúl; Liempi Manquel, Ana Isabel; Guerrero Muñoz, Jesús Alejandro Ignacio; Ortega Asencios, Yessica Lisette; Maya Arango, Juan Diego; Rojas, Verónica; Quiñones, Wilfredo; Michels, Paul A.; Kemmerling Weis, Ulrike (Royal Society, 2022)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of small non-coding RNAs present in a wide diversity of organisms. MiRNAs regulate gene expression at a post-transcriptional level through their interaction with the 3 ' untranslated regions ...
    • Outcrossing increases infection success in the holoparasitic mistletoe Tristerix aphyllus (Loranthaceae) 
      Gonzáles, Wilfredo L.; Suárez, Lorena H.; Medel Contreras, Rodrigo (2007)
      Most studies on the fitness advantage of outbreeding in host-parasite systems have been assessed from the host rather than the parasite perspective. Here, we performed experimental pollination treatments to evaluate the ...
    • The parasite load of Trypanosoma cruzi modulates feeding and defecation patterns of the chagas disease ... 
      Chacón Olivos, Francisco Javier; Bacigalupo Bacigalupo, Antonella Eugenia; Álvarez Duhart, Bárbara Raquel; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto Antonio; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina (MDPI, 2022)
      Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic zoonosis transmitted mainly through the feces of triatomine insects. Triatoma infestans is the main triatomine vector of this disease in South America. ...
    • Trypanosoma cruzi parasite load modulates the circadian activity pattern of triatoma infestans 
      Chacón Olivos, Francisco Javier; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina; Bacigalupo Bacigalupo, Antonella Eugenia; Álvarez Duhart, Bárbara Raquel; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto Antonio; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo (MDPI, 2022)
      Simple Summary We studied the locomotor activity of one of the kissing bug species that transmit the Chagas disease-causing parasite in humans, which usually bites during the night. To date, no other reports researching ...
