Oral transmission of Chagas disease from a One Health approach: A systematic review
Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 689-698, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Objective To analyse acute Chagas disease (CD) outbreaks through a qualitative systematic review and discuss the determinants for its prevention and control. Methods Review of studies in which clinical cases of oral transmission were confirmed by parasitological and/or serological tests that included an epidemiological investigation of sources

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.

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.

Evolutionary ecology of Chagas disease; what do we know and what do we need?
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 470-487, April 2018., 2018 Abstract The aetiological agent of Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi, is a key human pathogen afflicting most populations of Latin America. This vectorborne parasite is transmitted by haematophageous triatomines, whose control by large‐scale insecticide spraying has been the main strategy to limit the impact of the disease for over 25 years.

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Updated information of the dispersion dynamics of Chagas disease (CD) and a systemic analysis of these data will aid the early identification of areas that are vulnerable to transmission and enable efficient intervention. This work synthesized spatiotemporal information regarding triatomine fauna and analyzed this information in combination with the ...

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Ecological niche modeling of Triatominae bugs allow us to establish the local risk of transmission of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease. This information could help to guide health authority recommendations on infection monitoring, prevention, and control.

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 The neglected tropical disease, African Trypanosomiasis, is fatal and has a crippling impact on economic development. Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is an important molecular chaperone that is expressed in response to stress and Hsp40 acts as its co‐chaperone.

Impact of Chagas Disease in Bolivian Immigrants Living in Europe and the Risk of Stigmatization
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Background. The prevalence of Chagas disease in endemic countries varies with the kind of vector involved and the socioeconomic conditions of the population of origin. Due to recent immigration it is an emerging public health problem in Europe, especially in those countries which receive immigrant populations with a high prevalence of carriers.

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Dendritic cells (DCs) are major immune components, and depending on how these cells are modulated, the protective host immune response changes drastically. Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasite with high genetic variability and modulates DCs by interfering with their capacity for antigen recognition, migration, and maturation.

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Triatoma brasiliensis sensu lato (s.l.), the main vector of Chagas disease in northeastern Brazil, is a species complex comprising four species, one with two subspecies (T. brasiliensis brasiliensis, T. brasiliensis macromelasoma, T. juazeirensis, T. sherlocki, and T. melanica), and each taxon displaying distinct ecological requirements.
