Determination of microcysts in the cardiac muscle of alpacas () and their correlation with troponin cTnI. A study performed in the high Andean region of southern Peru.

The breeding of alpaca () is one of the most important economic activities in the high Andean areas of Peru. The commercialization of products derived from alpaca represents more than 80% of the income of high-Andean families. However, the infestation of parasites such as in the alpacas causes economic losses that deteriorate the already diminished quality of life of the alpaca breeder.

Intestinal Microbiota in Children with Anemia in Southern Peru through Next-Generation Sequencing Technology.

Knowledge of the sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene constitutes a true revolution in understanding the composition of the intestinal microbiota and its implication in health states. This study details microbial composition through next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in children with anemia. Anemia is the most frequent hematological disorder that affects human beings.
