Soil-Transmitted Helminth Prevalence and Infection Intensity Among Geographically and Economically Distinct Shuar Communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon
Tara J. Cepon-Robins,Melissa A. Liebert,Theresa E. Gildner,Samuel S. Urlacher,Samuel S. Urlacher,Alese M. Colehour,J. Josh Snodgrass,Felicia C. Madimenos,Felicia C. Madimenos,Lawrence S. Sugiyama +9 more
TL;DR: The effects of economic development on parasite load among an indigenous population at multiple points along the spectrum of MI is investigated, finding infection prevalence and intensity was highest among more isolated communities with less market access.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local domestication of lactic acid bacteria via cassava beer fermentation
Alese M. Colehour,James F. Meadow,Melissa A. Liebert,Tara J. Cepon-Robins,Theresa E. Gildner,Samuel S. Urlacher,Brendan J. M. Bohannan,J. Josh Snodgrass,Lawrence S. Sugiyama +8 more
TL;DR: The results add to evidence from other fermentation systems suggesting that traditional fermentation may be a form of domestication, providing endemic beneficial inocula for consumers, but additional research is needed to identify the mechanisms and extent of microbial dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Felicia C. Madimenos,Melissa A. Liebert,Tara J. Cepon-Robins,J. Josh Snodgrass,Lawrence S. Sugiyama +4 more
TL;DR: Preliminary osteoporosis risk data is contributed for a rural Colono (mestizo) population from Amazonian Ecuador for which there are concerns about high bone density and low bone density prevalence.
Journal ArticleDOI
