Distribution and pathogenicity of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from peridomestic populations of Triatoma infestans and Triatoma guasayana from rural Western Argentina

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2005
We assessed the distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in peridomestic triatomines collected manually at a district-wide scale in rural villages around Olta, Western Argentina, and typed the isolated strains according to their pathogenicity to ...

Linajes de Trypanosoma cruzi en pacientes con enfermedad de Chagas y coinfección por VIH [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Introducción. Las poblaciones naturales de T. cruzi han sido clasificadas en seis linajes filogenéticos o unidades de tipificación discreta: T. cruzi I, IIa, IIb, IIc, IId y IIe, que pueden jugar un rol en el tropismo tisular y patogénesis de la ...

CpG and Interleukin-15 Synergize to Enhance IFN-γ Production by Activated CD8+ T Cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) regulates the development and maintenance of memory CD8+ T cells. Paradoxically, we previously reported that IL-15 could enhance CD8+ T-cell responses to IL-12, a proinflammatory cytokine required for optimal priming of effector ...

Calpain Proteases and the Evolving Signaling Network in Insect Embryonic Patterning

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Insect embryonic Dorsal‐Ventral (DV) patterning relies on the BMP and Toll pathways to different extents. Calcium‐dependent cystein proteases of the Calpain family also exert an important function to pattern the DV axis. In Drosophila, Calpain A cleaves the Cactus/IkappaB inhibitor and modifies Toll signals in ventral regions of the embryo. In Rhodnius

Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in an Indigenous Kariña Community in Eastern Venezuela [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigated the seroprevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in an indigenous Kariña population in eastern Venezuela. A total of 175 serum samples were collected in the community of Piñantal during February 2009.

Ruthenium‐Catalyzed CH Alkenylation of Trypanocidal Naphthoquinones: A Mechanistic Benchmarking Study

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Computational roadmap to click‐ready quinones. Quantum chemical analysis reveals how substituents modulate the reactivity of trypanocidal naphthoquinones in Ru‐catalyzed CH alkenylation, guiding the design of sulfonyl‐fluoride scaffolds for next‐generation antiparasitic agents.

Reaching for the Holy Grail: insights from infection/cure models on the prospects for vaccines for Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Prevention of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mammals likely depends on either prevention of the invading trypomastigotes from infecting host cells or the rapid recognition and killing of the newly ...

Challenges and Opportunities in State‐of‐the‐Art Proteomics Analysis for Biomarker Development From Plasma Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound particles secreted by cells, playing crucial roles in intercellular communication. The composition of EVs can undergo changes in response to stress and disease conditions, making them excellent biomarker candidates.

Calcitonin‐like diuretic hormone influences reproduction in adult female Rhodnius prolixus

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Highlights • CT/DH‐like immunoreactivity is present in female reproductive tissues • CT/DH receptor transcripts are expressed in the fat body and ovaries • RNAi knockdown of CT/DH receptors reduces egg number and hatching rate • Rhopr‐CT/DH increases RhoprVg1 and RhoprVgR expression in ovaries in vitro • Rhopr‐CT/DH stimulates oviduct contractions in a

FABP4-dependent fatty acid oxidation-fueled mitochondrial ROS induces the mobilization of cellular iron and facilitates Trypanosoma cruzi proliferation in murine adipocytes

open access: yesmBio
Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) is a cytosolic lipid chaperone predominantly expressed in adipocytes. It has been shown that Trypanosoma cruzi targets adipose tissues and resides in adipocytes. However, how T.
