Immunomodulation by Trypanosoma cruzi: Toward Understanding the Association of Dendritic Cells with Infecting TcI and TcII Populations

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.

Histone acetylation and methylation marks in chromatin of Panstrongylus megistus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) [PDF]

Acta Histochemica, 2018
Panstrongylus megistus, a potential vector of Chagas disease, currently occupies a wider geographic distribution in Brazil than Triatoma infestans, another member of the hemipteran Reduviidae family and a vector of the same disease. A small heterochromatic body (chromocenter) formed by the Y chromosome is evident in the somatic cells of P.

Biologic and Genetics Aspects of Chagas Disease at Endemic Areas

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The etiologic agent of Chagas Disease is the Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted through blood‐sucking insect vectors of the Triatominae subfamily, representing one of the most serious public health concerns in Latin America. There are geographic variations in the prevalence of clinical forms and morbidity of Chagas disease, likely due to genetic variation ...

An Insight into the Sialomes of Bloodsucking Heteroptera

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Saliva of bloodsucking arthropods contains dozens or hundreds of proteins that affect their hosts′ mechanisms against blood loss (hemostasis) and inflammation. Because acquisition of the hematophagous habit evolved independently in several arthropod orders and at least twice within the true bugs, there is a convergent evolutionary scenario that creates
