Molecular evidence for a single taxon, Anopheles nuneztovari s.l., from two endemic malaria regions in Colombia.

To elucidate the Anopheles nuneztovari s.l. taxonomic status at a microgeographic level in four malaria endemic localities from Antioquia and Córdoba, Colombia, fragments of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and the white gene were used.

Natural infectivity of Anopheles species from the Pacific and Atlantic Regions of Colombia.

Malaria is an important public health problem in Colombia. Among the major vectors in Colombia, Anopheles albimanus is recognized for its importance on the Pacific Coast where it is the predominant species; it is also found in the Atlantic Coast, although its vectorial role in this region is not clear. We examined the occurrence of An.

Redetermination of 2,4,6-tricyclo-hexyl-1,3,5-trioxane.

The title compound, C(21)H(36)O(3), was obtained by treatment of cyclo-hexa-necarbaldehyde with catalytic toluene-4-sulfonic acid monohydrate. This redetermination results in a crystal structure with significantly higher precision than the original determination [Diana & Ganis (1963 ▶). Atti Accad.

In vitro and in vivo cytotoxicities and antileishmanial activities of thymol and hemisynthetic derivatives.

The in vitro and in vivo antileishmanial and cytotoxic activities of thymol and structural derivatives in comparison to those of Glucantime were studied. The results showed here suggest that thymol and hemisynthetic derivatives have promising antileishmanial potential and could be considered as new lead structures in the search for novel antileishmanial drugs.
