The resting electrocardiogram of t. cruzi-infected rats [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1987 A total of 125 rats were infected with the Colômbia strain of T. cruzi (2000 parasites/g) shortly after weaning. Of these, 58 survived the acute phase and were used in the present experiment. Twenty eight similar but not infected rats served as controls. All rats were submitted to the resting ECG When they were 6 months old.

CD8+ T cells in Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2015 Trypanosoma cruzi infection and Chagas disease remains among the most neglected of the neglected tropical diseases. Despite this, studies of the immune response to T. cruzi have provided new insights in immunology and guidance for approaches for prevention and treatment of the disease. T.
