Introduction: Intestinal parasites are considered a public health problem in developing countries, and they affect individuals of all ages and sexes; nevertheless they are frequent in early childhood. At present, the most reported intestinal parasite conditions in Quindio are giardiasis, caused by Giardia intestinalis (G. lamblia or G.duodenalis), and blastocystosis caused by Blastocystis sp. Objective: The objective is to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasites in children 2 to 5 years old at a State nursery in Circasia, Quindio. Materials and methods: Three fecal samples per child were collected from 79 children following informed consent from their legal guardians. Microscopic and macroscopic laboratory test were made using 1 % Lugol, 0,8 % saline solution, saline-eosin solution and concentration techniques with formaldehyde-ether (Ritchie.) Results: In the three fecal samples, the pathogen parasites had the following prevalence: Blastocystis sp 49,4 %, 57 % and 64,6 % sp; Giardia lamblia 16,5 %, 22,8 % and 15,2 %; and Entamoeba histolytica/dispar 5,1 %, 5,1 % and.1,3 % respectively. Conclusions: This study shows a high frequency of protozoa parasites, Blastocystis sp being the most prevalent. Re-infection in children was detected during the study.

Objetivos. Caracterizar las especies de Candidaque colonizan el conducto vaginal y surelacion con sintomatologia en las pacientesa quienes se les hace citologia vaginal en Armenia(Quindio) y establecer el mejor cebadorpara la tecnica de amplificacion aleatoria deADN polimorfico (Random Amplified PolymorphicDNA, RAPD).Materiales y metodos. Se recolectaron 226muestras de flujo vaginal de mujeres que asistiana citologia rutinaria preventiva y se les realizocultivo en medio de Sabouraud, prueba detubo germinal y bateria de asimilacion de carbohidratos.Se probaron tres cebadores para laamplificacion aleatoria de ADN polimorfico.

Cysteine proteinases play key roles in host-parasite interactions, including host invasion, parasite differentiation, and intracellular survival. Toxoplasma gondii expresses five cysteine proteases, including one cathepsin L‑like (TgCPL), one cathepsin B‑like (TgCPB) and three cathepsin C‑like (TgCPC1, 2 and 3) proteases. We performed the Structural modeling of catalytic domain of TgCPC1 with server I-TASSER, the template selected for homology modeling was Dipeptidyl peptidase I (Cathepsin C) (PDB code: 1JQP). The C-Score of structural modeling of catalytic domain was -0.5; in the L-domain there are nine ɑ-helices and two β-strands and in the right domain there are four β-strands and two ɑ-helices. Cys-440, His-651 and Asn-676, form the cysteine protease catalytic triad in the active site. Adjacent to active site there is a Tyr441 this residue may be involved in the binding of the N terminus of the peptide substrate. A tyrosine residue (Tyr 578) that binds a chloride ion in the crystal structures of rat and human Cathepsin C is also conserved.

Objetivo. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar si los extractos de la planta Lantana camara presentan actividad antifungica frente a seis especies de Candida spp y un aislamiento humano de origen primario. Materiales. Se obtuvieron los extractos etanolicos totales por el metodo de percolacion y se hizo fraccionamiento cromatografico con eluyentes de diferente polaridad. Se caracterizaron los grupos funcionales mediante espectroscopia infrarroja. La actividad antifungica se evaluo frente a seis especies de Candida spp. (C. albicans, C. dubliniensis, C. krusei, C. guillermondii, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis y un aislamiento primario de C. albicans). La prueba de inhibicion del crecimiento se hizo con un ensayo en suero humano, observando con absorbancia a 600 nm las curvas de crecimiento relacionadas.
