Characterising a microsatellite for DRB typing in Aotus vociferans and Aotus nancymaae (Platyrrhini)
Non-human primates belonging to the Aotus genus have been shown to be excellent experimental models for evaluating drugs and vaccine candidates against malaria and other human diseases. The immune system of this animal ... Artículo. 2014

Human papillomavirus detection from human immunodeficiency virus-infected colombian women's paired urine and cervical samples
Infection, coinfection and type-specific human papillomavirus (HPV) distribution was evaluated in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive women from paired cervical and urine samples. Paired cervical and urine samples ... Artículo. 2013

Identification of plasmodium vivax proteins with potential role in invasion using sequence redundancy reduction and profile hidden markov models
Background: This study describes a bioinformatics approach designed to identify Plasmodium vivax proteins potentially involved in reticulocyte invasion. Specifically, different protein training sets were built and tuned ... Artículo. 2011

Identification, characterization and antigenicity of the Plasmodium vivax rhoptry neck protein 1 (PvRON1)
Background: Plasmodium vivax malaria remains a major health problem in tropical and sub-tropical regions worldwide. Several rhoptry proteins which are important for interaction with and/or invasion of red blood cells, such ... Artículo. 2011

Immune protection-inducing protein structures (IMPIPS) against malaria : The weapons needed for beating Odysseus
The review covers the functional and structural approach followed by our group for more than 34 years in the search for a methodology that allows the rational design of chemically synthesised vaccines. An analogy between ... Artículo. 2015
