Abstract: Se realizaron y publicaron tres estudios en esta tesis doctoral. El primero analiza actividades
sociodemográficas y ocupacionales de las personas en riesgo de contraer malaria, y permitió
identificar grupos de riesgo entre los sujetos que trabajan en las actividades forestales o agrícolas y
sus socios en el hogar. El segundo demostró nuevas herramientas para estudios de epidemiología de
malaria: marcadores en tándem y de polimorfismo de longitud de fragmentos de restricción msp3α
que tienen una alta capacidad discriminatoria para determinar la microgeografía de la transmisión
de la malaria en la Amazonía peruana. El tercero utilizó un análisis de microarrays de proteínas a
nivel genoma para identificar antígenos como herramienta serológica para monitorear la infección y
dinámica de transmisión, y que las proteínas reconocidas por los anticuerpos IgG humanos tienen
más probabilidades de tener polimorfismos de nucleótidos que las proteínas codificadas por el
genoma en su conjunto, lo que sugiere selección que surge de interacciones huésped-patógeno. Los
nuevos antígenos proteicos tienen importante potencial como herramientas para análisis
seroepidemiológico de estrategias de vigilancia, control y eliminación. Estas investigaciones en la
Amazonía peruana contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de características biológicas y
sociodemográficas de la respuesta inmune humana a Plasmodium vivax.
Malaria is the most widespread serious parasitic disease worldwide, with over 2 billion people at risk of infection, over 300 million cases yearly, and over 1 million deaths every year. The primary vector in the Peruvian Amazon, Anopheles darlingi, is a highly anthropophilic rural mosquito. This thesis research focuses primarily on Plasmodium vivax malaria in the Peruvian Amazon, for three reasons: it is the most common form of malaria in the Peruvian Amazon; in comparison with Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax malaria is understudied in this region; and the current malaria elimination call to action leads the need for new knowledge on this disease in the Peruvian Amazon. The goal of this thesis research is to contribute with the elimination of malaria transmission by means of testing the overarching central hypothesis that sociodemographics, relapsing Plasmodium vivax malaria, and the use of protein microarray analysis, are current aspects/tools that will help to stopping transmission of Plasmodium vivax malaria within rural villages near Iquitos, and eventually within the Amazon Region of Loreto, Peru. Three studies were conducted and published for this purpose.
