Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Livier Corado"

  • - Livier Corado's research focuses on the epidemiology of infectious diseases, specifically examining the prevalence of antibodies related to Trypanosoma cruzi among solid organ donors in Southern California.
  • - The findings indicate that there is a significant risk of transmitting Chagas' disease through organ transplants, which is particularly concerning given the parasite's endemic presence in parts of Latin America and its emerging incidence in the U.S.
  • - Corado's work underscores the importance of screening organ donors for T. cruzi antibodies to mitigate the risk of infection in transplant recipients, contributing valuable insights to public health and transplantation practices.
