Common pathways and outliers in glucose catabolism across Trypanosomatidae

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Trypanosomatid parasites, including Trypanosoma sp., Leishmania sp., Phytomonas sp., and Vickermania sp., share a common motif: a metabolism built around the glycosome, a unique peroxisome‐derived organelle housing the first steps of glycolysis. Yet, these organisms have evolved remarkably diverse strategies to catabolize glucose, excreting distinct ...

Flow cytometric analysis and microsatellite genotyping reveal extensive DNA content variation in Trypanosoma cruzi populations and expose contrasts between natural and experimental hybrids. [PDF]

, 2009
Trypanosoma cruzi exhibits remarkable genetic heterogeneity. This is evident at the nucleotide level but also structurally, in the form of karyotypic variation and DNA content differences between strains. Although natural populations of T.

Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in a Reactive Blood Bank Sample in Sonora, Mexico

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease
Chagas disease is a neglected disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, a public health problem in both endemic and non-endemic countries. In Mexico, the southern region is considered endemic, and cases are frequently reported; however, in the ...

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Peridomestic infestation by Triatoma pallidipennis and natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in Zacatepec, Morelos, Mexico Infestación peridoméstica por Triatoma pallidipennis e infección natural por Trypanosoma cruzi en Zacatepec, Morelos, México

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...

Genome-scale multilocus microsatellite typing of Trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing unit I reveals phylogeographic structure and specific genotypes linked to human infection. [PDF]

, 2009
Trypanosoma cruzi is the most important parasitic infection in Latin America and is also genetically highly diverse, with at least six discrete typing units (DTUs) reported: Tc I, IIa, IIb, IIc, IId, and IIe.

Virtual Screening Based on QSAR and Molecular Docking of Possible Inhibitors Targeting Chagas CYP51

Journal of Chemistry, 2021
Chagas is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi with no effective treatment in all its forms. There is a need to find more effective therapeutic alternatives with reduced toxicity.

Analysis of molecular diversity of the Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigote small surface antigen reveals novel epitopes, evidence of positive selection and potential implications for lineage-specific serology.

, 2010
Chagas disease, marked by life-long chronic infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a major parasitic disease in Latin America. Genetically heterogeneous, T. cruzi is divided into six discrete typing units (DTUs), most recently grouped as TcI-VI.
