Parasitology Today, 1988
Mexico - the northernmost country of Latin America - has long been thought to have an unusually low prevalence of Chagas disease compared with other Latin American countries. This has seemed unusual because of the large number of vector species and subspecies reported from the country, and the social and ecological conditions that seem to parallel ...

AIDS Patient Care and STDs, 2000
Chagas' disease can reactivate in patients with AIDS and present as a brain mass lesion or an acute diffuse meningoencephalitis indistinguishable from other opportunistic infections or neoplastic processes, such as toxoplasma encephalitis or central nervous system (CNS) primary lymphoma.

Autoimmunity and Chagas’ Disease
1989The protozoan flagellate Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas’ disease and has been estimated to infect between 10 and 12 million people in Central and South America (WHO 1960). T. cruzi has a complex life cycle involving stages in both a vertebrate and an insect vector host, the reduviid or assassin bugs, members of the subfamily ...
