Giardia lamblia risk factors and burden in children with acute gastroenteritis in a Nicaraguan birth cohort. Open
BACKGROUND: Giardia lamblia is an intestinal protozoan estimated to cause ~200 million symptomatic infections annually, mainly in children in low- and middle-income countries associated with intestinal damage, increased permeability, and m…

Secretor Status Strongly Influences the Incidence of Symptomatic Norovirus Infection in a Genotype-Dependent Manner in a Nicaraguan Birth Cohort Open
Background The role of histo-blood group on the burden and severity of norovirus gastroenteritis in young infants has not been well documented. Methods Norovirus gastroenteritis was assessed in 443 Nicaraguan children followed from birth u…

Seroepidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections in an urban Nicaraguan population Open
In a Nicaraguan population-based cohort, SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence was 34%, with higher prevalence in children compared to adults. Having a seropositive household member was associated with a two-fold probability of individual seropositivi…

Clinical Characteristics, Risk Factors, and Population Attributable Fraction for Campylobacteriosis in a Nicaraguan Birth Cohort Open
Campylobacteriosis is an important contributor to the global burden of acute gastroenteritis (AGE). In Nicaragua, the burden, risk factors, and species diversity for infant campylobacteriosis are unknown. Between June 2017 and December 201…

Risk Factors and Clinical Profile of Sapovirus-associated Acute Gastroenteritis in Early Childhood Open
Background: Sapovirus is increasingly recognized as an important cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children. We identified risk factors and characterized the clinical profile of sapovirus AGE in a birth cohort in León, Nicaragua. Met…

Seroepidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 infections in an urban population-based cohort in León, Nicaragua Open
In a Nicaraguan population-based cohort, SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence reached 28% in the first 6 months of the country's epidemic and reached 35% 6 months later. Immune waning was uncommon. Individuals with a seropositive household member wer…

Genetic risk for dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever in multiple ancestries Open
There is a strong genetic effect that predisposes to risk of DHF/DSS and DF. The genetic risk for DHF/DSS is higher than that for DF when compared to controls, and this effect persists across multiple ancestries.
