Seroprevalence of Chagas disease in Southern Brazilian cardiac patients and their knowledge about the parasitosis and vectors [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2020 Chagas disease (CD) is considered a typical low-income population sickness of the developing countries in Latin America. Given the historical relevance of CD in individuals in southern Rio Grande do Sul (RS) State, Brazil, the aim of this study was to ...

Tropical 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 ...

In Vitro Impact of Triatomine Salivary Glands Extracts Introduced to Endothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2018 Chagas Disease (AKA Trypanosomiasis) is caused by biting/feeding behavior from the arthropod vector Triatoma (subfamily of Reduviidae family), that house the endoparasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which can then be passed to human and mammalian hosts (Schmidt ...

Exploring 6‐Hydroxy‐3‐Aryl/Heteroarylcoumarins as Promising Candidates Against Trypanosoma cruzi
ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.New therapies are urgently needed for Chagas disease, and screening of 6‐hydroxy‐3‐aryl/heteroarylcoumarin derivatives identified highly selective compounds with potent activity against T. cruzi. In particular, derivative 1f showed submicromolar trypomastigote potency, dual‐stage activity, and inhibition of amastigote‐to‐trypomastigote differentiation,

Trypanosoma cruzi Parasite Burdens of Several Triatomine Species in Colombia
Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022 Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, is mainly transmitted by insects of the Triatominae subfamily. In Colombia, there are 26 triatomine species, and 16 of them are naturally infected with the parasite.

Modelling the potential geographic distribution of triatomines infected by Triatoma virus in the southern cone of South America [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Triatoma virus (TrV) is the only entomopathogenous virus identified in triatomines. We estimated the potential geographic distribution of triatomine species naturally infected by TrV, using remotely sensed and meteorological environmental ...

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Rhodnius prolixus is the most common and abundant kissing bug found in Royal and other native palms from western Venezuela. R. prolixus is a dominant vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite causing Chagas disease. Here we use species distribution models (SDMs) to estimate habitat suitability for R. prolixus.
