Molecular epidemiology of domestic and sylvatic Trypanosoma cruzi infection in rural northwestern Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi populations and parasite transmission dynamics have been well documented throughout the Americas, but few studies have been conducted in the Gran Chaco ecoregion, one of the most highly endemic areas for Chagas ...

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.

T‐bet is required for survival and immunity to the intracellular pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi)

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2008
The T‐box transcription factor expressed in T cells (T‐bet) is a critical regulator of T cell effector functions, particularly interferon gamma (IFN‐γ) production. We investigated the role of T‐bet in immunity to T.

Treatment and seroconversion in a cohort of children suffering from recent chronic Chagas infection in Yoro, Honduras [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Between 1999-2002, Médécins Sans Frontières-Spain implemented a project seeking to determine the efficacy and safety of benznidazole in the treatment of recent chronic Chagas disease in a cohort of seropositive children in the Yoro Department, Honduras ...

Eco-epidemiological study of an endemic Chagas disease region in northern Colombia reveals the importance of Triatoma maculata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), dogs and Didelphis marsupialis in Trypanosoma cruzi maintenance

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background In Colombia, Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata are the main domestic triatomine species known to transmit T. cruzi. However, there are multiple reports of T. cruzi transmission involving secondary vectors.

Effectiveness of Systemic Insecticide Dog Treatment for the Control of Chagas Disease in the Tropics

open access: yesBiology, 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.

Vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi among captive Neotropical primates in a Brazilian zoo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: Neotropical primates are important sylvatic hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Infection is often subclinical, but severe disease has been described in both free-ranging and captive primates.

Broad patterns in domestic vector-borne Trypanosoma cruzi transmission dynamics: synanthropic animals and vector control

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Chagas disease (caused by Trypanosoma cruzi) is the most important neglected tropical disease (NTD) in Latin America, infecting an estimated 5.7 million people in the 21 countries where it is endemic. It is one of the NTDs targeted for control

Recent, independent and anthropogenic origins of Trypanosoma cruzi hybrids. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The single celled eukaryote Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite transmitted by numerous species of triatomine bug in the Americas, causes Chagas disease in humans. T.
