Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of American trypanosomiasis, or Chagas disease, and is transmitted mainly by blood-sucking reduviid insects in endemic countries. Metacyclic trypomastigotes released in the feces during the insect blood meal enter a mammalian host through skin wounds or mucosal membranes and invade sur- rounding cells.

Broadening the spectrum of ivermectin: Its effect on Trypanosoma cruzi and related trypanosomatids
Chagas disease is an endemic American parasitosis, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. The current therapies, benznidazole (BZN) and nifurtimox (NFX), show limited efficacy and multiple side effects. Thus, there is a need to develop new trypanocidal strategies.

Quantification of Trypanosoma cruzi in Tissue and Trypanosoma cruzi Killing Assay [PDF]
Infection with Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas disease. The methods provided here allow for the quantification of T. cruzi in the liver, heart, and blood of intraperitoneally-infected mice and analysis of the killing activity of the cells infected with T. cruzi in vitro.
