Potential geographic displacement of Chagas disease vectors under climate change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
As a result of modelling the potential distribution of 55 triatomine species in the Neotropical region, with climate change projected for up to 2050, we found no significant changes. With climate change projected for up to 2080 in the Neotropical region, we see a significant potential for the migration of 55 species of triatomines towards the Amazon ...

Trypanosoma cruzi Needs a Signal Provided by Reactive Oxygen Species to Infect Macrophages

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Background During Trypanosoma cruzi infection, macrophages produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in a process called respiratory burst. Several works have aimed to elucidate the role of ROS during T. cruzi infection and the results obtained are sometimes

Repurposing of terconazole as an anti Trypanosoma cruzi agent [PDF]

, 2019
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic infection endemic in Latin America. Currently there are no effective treatments for the chronic phase of the disease, when most patients are diagnosed, therefore the development of ...

Genomic stress in diseases stemming from defects in the second brain

Neurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The enteric nervous system, a.k.a., second brain, is subject to a range of genotoxic exposures that include intrinsic oxidative stress and extrinsic agents associated with ingested foods, inflammation, and dysbiosis. Resulting DNA damage, if left unrepaired, can induce cell dysfunction or death, resulting in gut abnormalities and enteric neuropathy ...

Role of Trypanosoma cruzi Trans-sialidase on the Escape from Host Immune Surveillance

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Chagas disease is caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, affecting millions of people throughout Latin America. The parasite dampens host immune response causing modifications in diverse lymphoid compartments, including the thymus.

Does native Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin mediate growth inhibition of a mammary tumor during infection? [PDF]

, 2016
Indexación: Web of Science.Background: For several decades now an antagonism between Trypanosoma cruzi infection and tumor development has been detected. The molecular basis of this phenomenon remained basically unknown until our proposal that T.

Weight Loss‐Associated Remodeling of Adipose Tissue Immunometabolism

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a multifactorial condition characterized by excessive adiposity and systemic chronic low‐grade inflammation. Recent literature reflects a growing appreciation for the complex interplay between metabolism and the immune system in the pathogenesis of obesity‐related health conditions.

Immune complexes in chronic Chagas disease patients are formed by exovesicles from Trypanosoma cruzi carrying the conserved MASP N-terminal region [PDF]

, 2017
The exovesicles (EVs) are involved in pathologic host-parasite immune associations and have been recently used as biomarkers for diagnosis of infectious diseases.

Chagas disease screening of maternal donors in publicly banked umbilical cord blood in North Carolina, United States 2007–2023

Pregnancy, Volume 1, Issue 4, July 2025.
Abstract Introduction Over 300,000 people living in the United States are estimated to have Chagas disease, a condition for which mother to child transmission may occur and early diagnosis is essential to reduce Chagas‐related morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated positive Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) screening serology among maternal donors of
