Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli in children from León, Nicaragua

Samuel Vilchez, +10 more
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: Although not very frequent, ETEC continues to be an important agent associated with diarrhoea in children from León, Nicaragua, and EAEC was the most prevalent pathotype in the population under study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic susceptibility to symptomatic norovirus infection in Nicaragua

Filemon Bucardo, +6 more
- 01 Apr 2009 - 
TL;DR: Previous knowledge about the histo‐blood group antigens role in NoV disease in a population with different genetic background than North American and European is extended.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vaccine-Derived NSP2 Segment in Rotaviruses from Vaccinated Children with Gastroenteritis in Nicaragua

Filemon Bucardo, +3 more
- 01 Aug 2012 - 
TL;DR: The data suggest that the high level of vaccine failure in Nicaraguan is probably not due to antigenic drift of commonly circulating virus strains nor the emergence of new antigenetically distinct virus strains, but that the widespread use of the RotaTeq vaccine has led to the introduction of vaccine genes into circulating human RVs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel Light-Upon-Extension Real-Time PCR Assays for Detection and Quantification of Genogroup I and II Noroviruses in Clinical Specimens

Johan Nordgren, +4 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: Two novel light-upon-extension real-time PCR assays for detection and quantification of norovirus genogroups I and II are developed, using a fluorophore attached to one primer having a self-quenching hairpin structure, making it cost-effective and specific.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lewis A phenotype is a restriction factor for Rotateq and Rotarix vaccine-take in Nicaraguan children

Filemon Bucardo, +6 more
- 24 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Differences in HBGA expression appear to be a contributing factor in the discrepancy in vaccine-take and thus, in vaccine efficacy in different ethnic populations.
