Chagas disease: what is known and what is needed - A background article
Chagas disease began millions of years ago as an enzootic disease of wild animals and started to be transmitted to man accidentally in the form of an anthropozoonosis when man invaded wild ecotopes. Endemic Chagas disease became established as a zoonosis

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

Immune protection against Trypanosoma cruzi induced by TcVac4 in a canine model [PDF]
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic in southern parts of the American continent. Herein, we have tested the protective efficacy of a DNA-prime/T. rangeli-boost (TcVac4) vaccine in a dog (Canis familiaris) model.

Appetence behaviours of the triatomine bug Rhodnius prolixus on a servosphere in response to the host metabolites carbon dioxide and ammonia [PDF]
A combination of 1,000ppm CO2 plus 30-40ppb NH3 in an air stream induced Rhodnius prolixus nymphs walking on a servosphere to perform a series of appetence behaviours.

Species of the Rhodnius genus have a complex taxonomy because the events of phenotypic plasticity and cryptic speciation make it difficult to correctly classify these vectors. During the taxonomic history of the genus, five synonymization events occurred.
