Molecular and antigenic characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi TolT proteins [PDF]
Background: TolT was originally described as a Trypanosoma cruzi molecule that accumulated on the trypomastigote flagellum bearing similarity to bacterial TolA colicins receptors.

Perspectives on the Trypanosoma cruzi-host cell receptor interaction [PDF]
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The critical initial event is the interaction of the trypomastigote form of the parasite with host receptors. This review highlights recent observations concerning these interactions.

Phylogenetic analysis of Bolivian bat trypanosomes of the subgenus schizotrypanum based on cytochrome B sequence and minicircle analyses. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to establish the phylogenetic relationships of trypanosomes present in blood samples of Bolivian Carollia bats. Eighteen cloned stocks were isolated from 115 bats belonging to Carollia perspicillata (Phyllostomidae) from three ...

During differentiation of the dividing epimastigote to the non-dividing metacyclic trypomastigote form of the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi there is a marked reduction in the rate of synthesis of the major proteins u- and /?-tubulin.

Clathrin expression in Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
Clathrin-mediated vesicular trafficking, the mechanism by which proteins and lipids are transported between membrane-bound organelles, accounts for a large proportion of import from the plasma membrane (endocytosis) and transport from the trans-Golgi network towards the endosomal system.

Protective immunity against Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
Upon infection, Trypanosoma cruzi triggers a strong immune response that has both protective and pathological consequences. In this work, several important questions regarding protective immunity are reviewed.

Profiling the Trypanosoma cruzi Phosphoproteome [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is a reversible post-translational modification essential for the regulation of several signal transduction pathways and biological processes in the living cell. Therefore, the identification of protein phosphorylation sites is crucial to understand cell signaling control at the molecular level.

The Ly49E receptor inhibits the immune control of acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]
The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in the blood upon infection and invades various cells. Parasites intensively multiply during the acute phase of infection and persist lifelong at low levels in tissues and blood during the chronic phase.

This study evaluated the possibility of inoculation and reinoculation with a trypanosomatid isolated from bats that is morphologically, biologically and molecularly similar to Trypanosoma cruzi, to protect against infection by virulent strains.
