Detecting Areas of Potential High Prevalence of Chagas in Argentina [PDF]
, 2020 A map of potential prevalence of Chagas disease (ChD) with high spatial disaggregation is presented. It aims to detect areas outside the Gran Chaco ecoregion (hyperendemic for the ChD), characterized by high affinity with ChD and high health vulnerability.

Plasma-Derived Extracellular Vesicles as Potential Biomarkers in Heart Transplant Patient with Chronic Chagas Disease [PDF]
, 2021 Chagas disease is emerging in countries to which it is not endemic. Biomarkers for earlier therapeutic response assessment in patients with chronic Chagas disease are needed.

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2006 Abstract Chagas disease is the clinical condition triggered by infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The infection is transmitted by triatomine insects while blood feeding on a human host. Field studies predict that one third of an estimated 18 million T cruzi-infected humans in Latin America will die of Chagas disease.

Analyzing the Spread of Chagas Disease with Mobile Phone Data [PDF]
IEEE/ACM ASONAM pp. 607-612, San Francisco CA, USA, August 18-21
(2016), 2017 We use mobile phone records for the analysis of mobility patterns and the detection of possible risk zones of Chagas disease in two Latin American countries. We show that geolocalized call records are rich in social and individual information, which can be used to infer whether an individual has lived in an endemic area. We present two case studies, in

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 118, Issue 6, Page 623-636, December 2022., 2022 In host‐pathogen interactions, actin‐cytoskeletal dynamics play a crucial role in successful adherence, invasion, and intracellular motility by many intruding microbes. To achieve this goal, bacterial pathogens target major host regulators, one of which is the key actin‐binding protein and class‐II actin nucleation‐promoting factor cortactin.
