Susceptibilidad a deltametrina de Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (Linnaeus 1676) (Diptera: Culicidae) y determinación de áreas de influencia para su presencia en un municipio del Departamento Central, Paraguay / Susceptibility to deltametrin of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti(Linnaeus 1676) (Diptera: Culicidae) and determination from areas of influence for its presence in a municipality of the Centraldepartment, Paraguay

RESUMEN Introducción. Paraguay es un país endémico para el dengue y la intervención primaria para esta arbovirosis es el control químico de su vector Aedes aegypti, siendo necesario estudiar su resistencia frente a insecticidas utilizados para el control y conocer su sostenibilidad en espacio y tiempo. Objetivo. Determinar la susceptibilidad de poblaciones silvestres de Ae. aegypti procedentes de Villa Elisa-Central, frente al adulticida deltametrina y conocer el área potencial de distribución de estas poblacionesresistentes/susceptibles. Metodología. Se utilizaron mosquitos Ae. aegypti adultos de la Filial 1 obtenidos de ovitrampas colocadas en viviendas geo-localizadas entre diciembre 2017-marzo 2018. Las hembras resultantes de la cría en condiciones ad hoc en laboratorio fueron expuestas a concentraciones crecientes del insecticida. La distribución real de las poblaciones de mosquitos y su área de influencia, fueron modeladas mediante DIVA-GIS. Resultados. La mortalidad promedio observada para cada dosis de deltametrina fue: 5,3% para (0,03%); 47,4% para (0,15%) y 61,2% para (0,3). Se observó áreas de influencia para la presencia de Ae. aegypti. Conclusión. los valores correspondientes a la mortalidad resultaron inferiores al 98%, lo cual fue indicativo de resistencia a dosis diagnóstica. El modelo de distribución geográfica de la población evaluada demostró la existencia de áreas idóneas con condiciones bioclimáticas óptimas (niveles de precipitación, temperatura y humedad), propicias para la aparición de reservorios de agua y presencia del vector, tanto en Villa Elisa, como en los distritos localizados en la periferia tales como San Lorenzo, Lambaré, Ñemby, San Antonio y Fernando de la Mora.

ABSTRACT Introduction. Paraguay is an endemic country for dengue and the primary intervention for this arbovirus is the chemical control of its vector Aedes aegypti, being necessary to study its resistance against insecticides used for control and to know its sustainability in space and time. Objective. To determine the susceptibility of wild populations of Ae. aegypti from Villa Elisa-Central, against the adulticide deltamethrin and to know the potential area of ​​distribution of these resistant/susceptible populations. Methodology. Mosquitoes Ae. aegypti adults from Filial 1 obtained from ovitraps placed in geo-located dwellings between December 2017 and March 2018. The females resulting from rearing under ad hoc conditions in the laboratory were exposed to increasing concentrations of the insecticide. The actual distribution of mosquito populations and their area of ​​influence were modeled using DIVA-GIS. Results. The average mortality observed for each dose of deltamethrin was: 5.3% for (0.03%); 47.4% for (0.15%) and 61.2% for (0.3). Areas of influence were observed for the presence of Ae. aegypti. Conclusion. The values ​​corresponding to mortality were lower than 98%, which was indicative of resistance to diagnostic dose. The geographic distribution model of the evaluated population demonstrated the existence of suitable areas with optimal bioclimatic conditions (levels of precipitation, temperature and humidity), conducive to the appearance of water reservoirs and the presence of the vector, both in Villa Elisa and in the districts located on the outskirts such as San Lorenzo, Lambaré, Ñemby, San Antonio and Fernando de la Mora.

The role of indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase in the induction of immune tolerance in organ transplantation.

The aim of this review is to present current information on transplantation research regarding the role of indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase in immune regulation. We present the basic mechanisms by which the enzyme is expressed, followed by tryptophan catabolism that leads to midg1 phase arrest and apoptosis. Other effects proposed, although not yet completely proven and generally accepted, include T-cell development suppression, secretion of regulatory cytokines such as IL10, and generation of new T regulatory cells. Clinical studies are being performed worldwide; thus, our goal is to focus on the clinical potential relevance of the enzyme rather than a presentation on a molecular basis so that health care providers concerning transplantation are aware of this promising field in immunology and therapeutics. We do emphasize the fact that information regarding the role of indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase in human beings is still scarce.
