Molecular characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi Mexican strains and their behavior in the mouse experimental model

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2011
INTRODUCTION: For a long time, the importance of Chagas disease in Mexico, where many regarded it as an exotic malady, was questioned. Considering the great genetic diversity among isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi, the importance of this biological ...

Myocardial toxicity in two dogs with natural exposure to ractopamine

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Two dogs that lived in a farm setting were presented to the Texas A&M University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital's Emergency Service exhibiting muscle tremors and ventricular arrhythmias following ingestion of ractopamine, a ß‐2 agonist feed‐additive used in beef cattle, pigs and turkeys intended for slaughter to increase muscle mass.

Does native Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin mediate growth inhibition of a mammary tumor during infection? [PDF]

, 2016
Indexación: Web of Science.Background: For several decades now an antagonism between Trypanosoma cruzi infection and tumor development has been detected. The molecular basis of this phenomenon remained basically unknown until our proposal that T.

Plasminogen interaction with Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
The ability of Trypanosoma cruzi to interact with plasminogen, the zimogenic form of the blood serin protease plasmin, was examined. Immunohistochemistry studies revealed that both forms, epimastigotes and metacyclic trypomastigotes, were able to fix plasminogen in a lysine dependant manner.

TNF‐α partially modulates the endothelial dysfunction during the acute phase of Trypanosoma cruzi infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 10, Page 2256-2272, May 2026.
Background and Purpose Whereas the effects of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) infection are well‐characterised in the heart, its impact on the vasculature has received little attention. In this study, we investigated the effects of acute and chronic T. cruzi infection on vascular responsiveness and the underlying mechanisms.

Chagas disease reactivation in a heart transplant patient infected by domestic Trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing unit I (TcIDOM) [PDF]

, 2015
Background Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease, displays high intraspecific genetic diversity: six genetic lineages or discrete typing units (DTUs) are currently recognized, termed TcI through TcVI.

Targeting Kinetoplastid Parasites with ProTide Prodrugs: A Proof‐of‐Concept Study

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) remain a major global health challenge, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Kinetoplastid parasites causing Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and African trypanosomiasis rely on host purine salvage pathways, making nucleoside analogues attractive therapeutic candidates.

The burden of congenital Chagas disease and implementation of molecular diagnostic tools in Latin America [PDF]

, 2018
It is estimated that between 8000 and 15 000 Trypanosoma cruzi infected babies are born every year to infected mothers in Chagas disease endemic countries. Currently, poor access to and performance of the current diagnostic algorithm, based on microscopy

New compound sets identified from high throughput phenotypic screening against three kinetoplastid parasites:an open resource [PDF]

, 2015
Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e.
