    El virus del papiloma humano de alto riesgo oncogénico (HR-HPV) es el principal agente causal de cáncer de cuello uterino y ano. Las mujeres trabajadoras sexuales (MTS) constituyen un grupo de riesgo para la adquisición de HPV. El presente estudio descriptivo de corte transverso tuvo como objetivo detectar tipos de HPV y determinar presencia de cofactores de riesgo asociados al desarrollo de lesiones en cuello uterino y ano en 144 MTS, periodo 2012/2013.CONACYT - Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y TecnologíaPROCIENCI

    Las Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual (ITS) se encuentran entre las cinco razones de consulta más frecuente en adultos. En Paraguay existe un conocimiento limitado sobre frecuencia de ITS especialmente en mujeres no gestantes en edad fértil. Por ello, este estudio piloto descriptivo de corte transverso analizó la frecuencia de sífilis, de infección por el Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH) de factores de riesgo asociados en 100 mujeres en edad fértil (18-48 años) no gestantes que acudieron al Hospital Regio-nal de Villa Hayes. La detección de sífilis se realizó mediante el método inmunocromato-gráfico y la confirmación por la Prueba de Absorción de Anticuerpos Treponémicos Fluo-rescentes. La infección por VIH fue detectada mediante el método inmunocromatográfi-co y el Ensayo por Inmunoabsorción Ligado a Enzimas. Se consideró un conocimiento aceptable sobre prevención y transmisión de estas ITS si el 60% de las preguntas se contestaban correctamente. Se observó una alta frecuencia de sífilis, de 13% (IC95%7,1-21,2%) y una asociación entre el bajo nivel educativo y la presencia de sífilis (p=0,002). No se encontró ningún resultado positivo para VIH. El 11% de las mujeres presentó un nivel inaceptable de conocimiento, sin embargo se evidenció una alta fre-cuencia de mujeres (58%) que no utilizaba preservativo, lo cual indica falta de buenas prácticas. Es preciso fortalecer las medidas de control y manejo de ITS ya existentes en esta región especialmente en las mujeres no gestantes en edad fértil

    NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES: a data set on carnivore distribution in the Neotropics

    Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae. Herein, we include published and unpublished data on native terrestrial Neotropical carnivores (Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Procyonidae; and Ursidae). NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES is a publicly available data set that includes 99,605 data entries from 35,511 unique georeferenced coordinates. Detection/non-detection and quantitative data were obtained from 1818 to 2018 by researchers, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private consultants. Data were collected using several methods including camera trapping, museum collections, roadkill, line transect, and opportunistic records. Literature (peer-reviewed and grey literature) from Portuguese, Spanish and English were incorporated in this compilation. Most of the data set consists of detection data entries (n = 79,343; 79.7%) but also includes non-detection data (n = 20,262; 20.3%). Of those, 43.3% also include count data (n = 43,151). The information available in NEOTROPICAL CARNIVORES will contribute to macroecological, ecological, and conservation questions in multiple spatio-temporal perspectives. As carnivores play key roles in trophic interactions, a better understanding of their distribution and habitat requirements are essential to establish conservation management plans and safeguard the future ecological health of Neotropical ecosystems. Our data paper, combined with other large-scale data sets, has great potential to clarify species distribution and related ecological processes within the Neotropics. There are no copyright restrictions and no restriction for using data from this data paper, as long as the data paper is cited as the source of the information used.

    NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the Neotropics

    Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal species that (1) transposed a geographical barrier and (2) were voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into the Neotropics. Our data set is composed of 73,738 historical and current georeferenced records on alien mammal species of which around 96% correspond to occurrence data on 77 species belonging to eight orders and 26 families. Data cover 26 continental countries in the Neotropics, ranging from Mexico and its frontier regions (southern Florida and coastal-central Florida in the southeast United States) to Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay, and the 13 countries of Caribbean islands. Our data set also includes neotropical species (e.g., Callithrix sp., Myocastor coypus, Nasua nasua) considered alien in particular areas of Neotropics. The most numerous species in terms of records are from Bos sp. (n = 37,782), Sus scrofa (n = 6,730), and Canis familiaris (n = 10,084); 17 species were represented by only one record (e.g., Syncerus caffer, Cervus timorensis, Cervus unicolor, Canis latrans). Primates have the highest number of species in the data set (n = 20 species), partly because of uncertainties regarding taxonomic identification of the genera Callithrix, which includes the species Callithrix aurita, Callithrix flaviceps, Callithrix geoffroyi, Callithrix jacchus, Callithrix kuhlii, Callithrix penicillata, and their hybrids. This unique data set will be a valuable source of information on invasion risk assessments, biodiversity redistribution and conservation-related research. There are no copyright restrictions.
