Eco-epidemiological study of an endemic Chagas disease region in northern Colombia reveals the importance of Triatoma maculata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), dogs and Didelphis marsupialis in Trypanosoma cruzi maintenance

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
BackgroundIn Colombia, Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata are the main domestic triatomine species known to transmit T. cruzi. However, there are multiple reports of T. cruzi transmission involving secondary vectors. In this work, we carried out an

Metabolic changes that allow Plasmodium falciparum artemisinin-resistant parasites to tolerate oxidative stress

open access: yesFrontiers in Parasitology
Artemisinin-based treatments (ACTs) are the first therapy currently used to treat malaria produced by Plasmodium falciparum. However, in recent years, increasing evidence shows that some strains of P.

New insights into the evolution of the Trypanosoma cruzi clade provided by a new trypanosome species tightly linked to Neotropical Pteronotus bats and related to an Australian lineage of trypanosomes

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2015
Bat trypanosomes are implicated in the evolution of the T. cruzi clade, which harbours most African, European and American trypanosomes from bats and other trypanosomes from African, Australian and American terrestrial mammals, including T.

Microsomal Hemoproteins in Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1971
SummarySpectrophotometry of whole cells, microsomal, mitochondrial, and supernatant fractions of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tulahuen strain, culture forms) shows that the microsomal hemoproteins largely contribute to the heme pigments of the parasite. Both the microsomal and mitochondrial fractions have NADH-ferricyanide reductase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase ...

Genomic comparison of Trypanosoma conorhini and Trypanosoma rangeli to Trypanosoma cruzi strains of high and low virulence

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
Background Trypanosoma conorhini and Trypanosoma rangeli, like Trypanosoma cruzi, are kinetoplastid protist parasites of mammals displaying divergent hosts, geographic ranges and lifestyles. Largely nonpathogenic T. rangeli and T.
