Effects of TcFLA‐1BP and TcGP72 Deletion on the Infectivity and Survival of Trypanosoma cruzi in Cell Cultures

Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1395-1410, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease with limited treatment options and no available vaccine. Understanding the role of proteins in the parasite's biological cycle is critical for advancing vaccine development and optimizing therapies.

Natural Products from Mexican Medicinal Plants as Promising Trypanocidal Drugs

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.
Chagas disease (American Trypanosomiasis) is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Worldwide it is one of the seventeen neglected tropical diseases. There is a need of new drugs. This review assesses the literature (2012‐2024) of secondary metabolites isolated from Mexican plants active against this parasite.

Evaluation of a Novel Tc‐24 Recombinant Antigen ELISA for Serologic Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection in Dogs: A Pilot Study

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Dogs are major reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi in Texas, United States. This study evaluated a novel Tc‐24 recombinant antigen ELISA for the serologic detection of Chagas disease in dogs and found it to have high sensitivity and specificity compared to existing commercial tests. The Tc‐24 Chagas ELISA provides a reliable tool for enhanced canine Chagas
