Chagas disease and immunosuppression [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
Chagas disease, caused by a hemoflagellate,Trypanosoma cruzi, is a parasitic disease widelydistributed throughout Latin America. It is trans-mitted to man by hematophagous vectors (redu-viid bugs), blood transfusion and, more rarely, byoral route, laboratory accidents, and from motherto fetus.

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Cytokines Gene Expression on Macrophages Exposed to Triatoma Salivary Gland Extracts [PDF]

, 2018
Triatoma sanguisuga and Triatoma Indictiva are vectors of Chagas disease. These two vectors goes to the host and bites down to feed on blood, which is necessary for the egg laying process. The disease however is not spread through their bite, but through

WIMANET: The Power of a Network in Wildlife Malaria Research

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The Wildlife Malaria Network (WIMANET) is an EU‐COST funded global network of researchers and stakeholders interested in wildlife malaria and related haemosporidian parasites. In this paper, we review WIMANET's activities to date. We hope this encourages new members to join the network and motivates both new and existing members to participate in its ...

Chagas disease and systemic autoimmune diseases among Bolivian patients in Switzerland

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2018
BACKGROUND Chronic cardiomyopathy occurs in 20-40% of the patients with Chagas disease. Autoimmune mechanisms may contribute to its pathogenesis. We diagnosed several cases of systemic autoimmune diseases among Bolivian migrants in Geneva with a high ...

A Multi-disciplinary Overview of Chagas in Periurban Peru [PDF]

, 2010
There are between 8 and 11 million cases of America Human Trypanosomiasis, commonly known as Chagas disease, in Latin America. Chagas is endemic in southern Peru, especially the Arequipa region, where it has expanded from poor, rural areas to periurban ...

A Short‐Read Amplicon Sequencing Protocol and Bioinformatic Pipeline for Ecological Surveillance of Dipteran Disease Vectors

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vector control remains an important strategy worldwide to prevent human infection with pathogens transmitted by arthropods. Vector control strategies rely on accurate identification of vector taxa along with vector‐specific biological indicators such as feeding ecology, infection prevalence and insecticide resistance.

Mapping of Chagas disease research: analysis of publications in the period between 1940 and 2009

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2011
INTRODUCTION: Publications are often used as a measure of success in research work. Chagas disease occurs in Central and Southern America. However, during the past years, the disease has been occurring outside Latin America due to migration from endemic ...

Discussing the Score of Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke in Chagas Disease

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2020
Chagas disease is an important infection in Latin America but it is also reported in non-endemic countries all over the world. Around 30% of infected patients develop chronic Chagas cardiopathy, which is responsible for most poor outcomes, mainly heart ...

The role of disease cycles in the endemicity of infectious diseases [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Vector-borne diseases with reservoir cycles are complex to understand because new infections come from contacts of the vector with humans and different reservoirs. In this scenario, the basic reproductive number $\mathcal{R}^h_0$ of the system where the reservoirs are not included could turn out to be less than one, yet, an endemic equilibrium be ...
