The genetics and genomics of Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
, 2007 Trypanosoma cruzi is a kinetoplastid parasite that causes Chagas disease. Trypanosomes are unusual organisms in many aspects of its genetics and molecular and cellular biology and considered a paradigm of the exception of the rule in the eukaryotic ...

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

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
