Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoamerican nephropathy: a neglected tropical disease with an infectious etiology?
Kristy O. Murray,Rebecca S. B. Fischer,Denis Chavarria,Christiane Duttmann,Melissa N. Garcia,Rodion Gorchakov,Peter J. Hotez,William Jirón,Jessica H. Leibler,Job E. Lopez,Sreedhar Mandayam,Alejandro Marin,Jessica Sheleby +12 more
TL;DR: The epidemic in the Chichigalpa area, potential pathogens responsible for Mesoamerican Nephropathy, and steps needed in order to diagnose, treat, and prevent future cases from occurring are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cross-sectional epidemiological study of domestic animals related to human leptospirosis cases in Nicaragua
Byron Flores,Tania Pérez-Sánchez,Héctor Fuertes,Jessica Sheleby-Elías,José Luis Múzquiz,William Jirón,Christianne Duttmann,Nabil Halaihel +7 more
TL;DR: A temporal and spatial correlation from DA and cumulative incidence of human cases is established and an effective epidemiological surveillance should be implemented with a specific control program toward DA in order to reduce human leptospirosis incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
AA amyloidosis induced in sheep principally affects the gastrointestinal tract.
E. Biescas,William Jirón,William Jirón,S. Climent,Antonio Fernández,Marta M. Pérez,Deborah T. Weiss,Alan Solomon,Lluís Luján +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the gastrointestinal tract is the main target organ for AA amyloid deposition in sheep, and the observations in this experimental model must now be confirmed in animals with spontaneously arising AA isyloidosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurological syndrome in goats associated with Ipomoea trifida and Ipomoea carnea containing calystegines.
L. M. Salinas,Ana Balseiro,William Jirón,Alan Peralta,David Muñoz,Jorge Fajardo,E. Gayo,Ileana Z. Martínez,Franklin Riet-Correa,Dale R. Gardner,Juan Francisco García Marín +10 more
TL;DR: The main histologic lesions were loss and neuronal vacuolation of Purkinje cells and Wallerian-like degeneration mainly in the cerebellum, suggesting a glycoprotein storage disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Pathogenic Leptospires in Water and Soil in Areas Endemic to Leptospirosis in Nicaragua.
Byron Flores,Karla Escobar,José Luis Múzquiz,Jessica Sheleby-Elías,Brenda Mora,Edipcia Roque,Dayana Torres,Álvaro Chávez,William Jirón +8 more
TL;DR: This study proved the contamination of water and soil with pathogenic leptospires, which represents a potential risk for public health.
