Transcriptome Remodeling in Trypanosoma cruzi and Human Cells during Intracellular Infection. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2016 Intracellular colonization and persistent infection by the kinetoplastid protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi, underlie the pathogenesis of human Chagas disease. To obtain global insights into the T.

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1991 The unlabelled antibody peroxidase-antiperoxidase method was used to study the immunocytochemical properties of Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi amastigotes in situ after tissues had been submitted to different fixation procedures. Antisera were obtained

Genome size, karyotype polymorphism and chromosomal evolution in Trypanosoma cruzi. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BackgroundThe Trypanosoma cruzi genome was sequenced from a hybrid strain (CL Brener). However, high allelic variation and the repetitive nature of the genome have prevented the complete linear sequence of chromosomes being determined.

Proximity-Dependent Biotinylation and Identification of Flagellar Proteins in Trypanosoma cruzi
mSphere, 2023 The flagellated kinetoplastid protozoan and causative agent of human Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi, inhabits both invertebrate and mammalian hosts over the course of its complex life cycle. In these disparate environments, T.

Effectiveness of Systemic Insecticide Dog Treatment for the Control of Chagas Disease in the Tropics
Biology, 2023 Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by triatomines, can lead to severe cardiac issues and mortality in many mammals. Recent studies have shown that systemic insecticide treatment of dogs is highly effective in killing triatomines.

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2019 Chagas disease is a public health problem caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi, and the T. cruzi I (TcI) and T. cruzi II (TcII) groups are considered important genotypes from the clinical point of view. Currently, the groups need to be molecularly analyzed for their identification; thus, we cytogenetically analyzed these groups with the objective of ...
