Screening of at‐risk blood donors for Chagas disease in non‐endemic countries: Lessons from a 2‐year experience in Tuscany, Italy

Transfusion Medicine, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 63-68, February 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Chagas disease (CD) is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is transmitted by blood‐sucking triatomine insects in endemic areas of Latin America. Transmission can also occur via blood transfusion and is a major cause of CD in non‐endemic areas. Objectives The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of anti‐T.

Phylogenetic structure of geographical co‐occurrence among New World Triatominae species, vectors of Chagas disease

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1218-1231, June 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim The tropical niche conservatism (TNC) hypothesis is one of the most prominent evolutionary hypotheses that has been supported as an explanation for the diversity gradients of several animal taxa, mainly vertebrates. However, the validity of TNC for less‐known taxa such as disease vectors is not clear.

Trypanosomatid infections in captive wild mammals and potential vectors at the Brasilia Zoo, Federal District, Brazil

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 248-256, May 2020., 2020
Conservation projects in zoos require translocations of captive animals, which may spread pathogens. We aimed to verify the occurrence of vectors (triatomines and sandflies) and to investigate Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania infections in captive wild mammals in the Zoo Brasília.
