Histopathologic identification of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas') encephalitis in an AIDS patient

Human Pathology: Case Reports, 2017
Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas') encephalitis is an uncommon manifestation of T. cruzi infection, typically seen in immunocompromised patients. Encephalitis results from the reactivation of chronic infection predominately in individuals from endemic areas ...

The Trypanosoma cruzi vitamin C dependent peroxidase confers protection against oxidative stress but is not a determinant of virulence. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: The neglected parasitic infection Chagas disease is rapidly becoming a globalised public health issue due to migration. There are only two anti-parasitic drugs available to treat this disease, benznidazole and nifurtimox. Thus it is important

New insights for an old drug: difluoromethylornithine boosts the trypanocidal action of benznidazole on Trypanosoma cruzi in vitro and in vivo

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is currently a global health problem. Its multiple forms of transmission, which favor the spread of the infection, and the limited treatment options—still restricted to only two drugs ...

Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene as a DNA barcode for discriminating Trypanosoma cruzi DTUs and closely related species

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background The DNA barcoding system using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene (cox1 or COI) is highly efficient for discriminating vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Adaptive Immunity in Marsupials

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Comparison of the marsupial and eutherian adaptive immune systems. ABSTRACT Marsupials diverged from eutherian mammals 125–160 million years ago. Although evolutionarily distinct, both groups of mammals can produce complex adaptive immune responses to antigens with several key differences.

The revised Trypanosoma cruzi subspecific nomenclature: rationale, epidemiological relevance and research applications.

, 2012
The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, its mammalian reservoirs, and vectors have existed in nature for millions of years. The human infection, named Chagas disease, is a major public health problem for Latin America. T. cruzi is genetically highly diverse and

Repetitive DNA is associated with centromeric domains in Trypanosoma brucei but not Trypanosoma cruzi. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Trypanosomes are parasitic protozoa that diverged early from the main eukaryotic lineage. Their genomes display several unusual characteristics and, despite completion of the trypanosome genome projects, the location of centromeric DNA has ...

Host-parasite interaction: changes in human placental gene expression induced by Trypanosoma cruzi

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite endemic to Latin America. Most infections occur in children by vector or congenital transmission.
