The revised Trypanosoma cruzi subspecific nomenclature: rationale, epidemiological relevance and research applications.

open access: yes, 2012
The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, its mammalian reservoirs, and vectors have existed in nature for millions of years. The human infection, named Chagas disease, is a major public health problem for Latin America. T. cruzi is genetically highly diverse and

Flow cytometric analysis and microsatellite genotyping reveal extensive DNA content variation in Trypanosoma cruzi populations and expose contrasts between natural and experimental hybrids. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Trypanosoma cruzi exhibits remarkable genetic heterogeneity. This is evident at the nucleotide level but also structurally, in the form of karyotypic variation and DNA content differences between strains. Although natural populations of T.

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Should Trypanosoma cruzi be called "cruzi" complex? A review of the parasite diversity and the potential of selecting population after in Vitro culturing and mice infection

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
Morpho-biological diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi has been known since Chagas' first works in 1909. Several further studies confirmed the morphological differences among the parasite strains, which were isolated from different reservoirs and vectors, as ...

Trypanosoma cruzi: Synergistic cytotoxicity of multiple amphipathic anti-microbial peptides to T. cruzi and potential bacterial hosts

open access: yes, 2010
The parasite Trypanasoma cruzi is responsible for Chagas disease and its triatomine vector, Rhodnius prolixus, has a symbiotic relationship with the soil bacterium, Rhodococcus rhodnii. R.

Deep sequencing of the Trypanosoma cruzi GP63 surface proteases reveals diversity and diversifying selection among chronic and congenital Chagas disease patients. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease results from infection with the diploid protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. T. cruzi is highly genetically diverse, and multiclonal infections in individual hosts are common, but little studied.

The Contribution of Entomological Surveillance to the Control of Chagas Disease in Endemic Regions: An Integrative Literature Review

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chagas disease remains a significant public health challenge in various endemic regions of Latin America. The persistence of vector‐borne transmission highlights the complexity of the issue and the limitations of traditional strategies. In this context, entomological surveillance plays a strategic and multifaceted role, not only in the early ...

Recombinant LPG3 Protein From Leishmania chagasi as an Antigen for the Diagnosis of Canine Visceral Leishmaniasis

open access: yesTropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a human neglected tropical disease in which dogs participate as reservoirs of the etiological agent Leishmania chagasi. The identification of infected dogs is important to the control of VL, and recombinant proteins are strong antigen candidates for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) serodiagnosis. In this work,
