Molecular Characterization of a Novel Family of Trypanosoma cruzi Surface Membrane Proteins (TcSMP) Involved in Mammalian Host Cell Invasion. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2015 The surface coat of Trypanosoma cruzi is predominantly composed of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins, which have been extensively characterized.

Apoptosis: A Key Process That Trypanosoma cruzi Modulates as a Strategy to Perpetuate Infection
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Apoptosis is a crucial host defense mechanism because it can trigger the immune response and get rid of infected cells. These important goals, among others, are achieved through a fine‐tuned process that culminates in a quiet form of cell death. Apoptosis represents a hindrance for intracellular microorganisms that live inside cells. Nevertheless, they

Revista Científica, 2010 Trypanosoma cruz; colonizes the anal scent glands of Didelphis marsupialis opossum, differentiating into metatryposmastigotes, which affect mammals through contamination in the same way as do metacyclics formed in the stomach of the triatomine vector.

Parasites & Vectors, 2018 Background Triatomine insects are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease. The insect-parasite interaction has been studied in relation to the transmission and prevalence of this disease.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 253-268, September 2024.Trypanosoma sp. presence modulates or has zero effect on gut microbiota composition. Microbiota presence modulates or has zero effect on Trypanosoma sp. growth. Vector biology of triatomine bugs and tsetse flies influences their gut microbiota composition.

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Parasitic diseases have a significant impact on human and animal health, representing a major hazard to the public and causing economic and health damage worldwide. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have long been recognized as diagnostic and therapeutic tools but are now also known to be implicated in the natural history of parasitic diseases and ...

Molecular mechanisms of Trypanosoma cruzi infection by oral route
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009 Frequent reports on outbreaks of acute Chagas' disease by ingestion of food contaminated with parasites from triatomine insects illustrate the importance of this mode of transmission.
