Protein Profiles of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi, is a protozoan parasite, which has a close phylogenetic relationship with Trypanosoma rangeli that is not pathogenic for the vertebrate host. Both parasites have antigenic similarity, they have different and complex total protein profiles according to their morphological and physiological stage epimastigotes or trypomastigotes ...

Characterization of tubulin genes in Trypanosoma rangeli [PDF]
Tubulin genes in Trypanosoma rangeli, the only trypanosome besides T. cruzi to infect humans in America, are organized in homogeneous, alternate alpha and beta gene tandem repeats of 3.8 kb. The basic repeat was cloned, mapped and partially sequenced.

Abstract Introduction Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a major public health problem in the Americas, and existing drugs have severe limitations. In this context, a vaccine would be an attractive alternative for disease control.

African trypanosomes are parasites that can grow in the blood of mammals, as "bloodstream forms", and the digestive system of Tsetse flies as "procyclic forms". ZC3H20 and ZC3H21 are related trypanosome proteins that can bind to mRNA. They are absent in growing bloodstream forms, but present in procyclic forms.

The Infection Rates of Trypanosomes in Squirrel Monkeys at Two Sites in the Brazilian Amazon
A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of natural infections by trypanosome species in squirrel monkeys: Saimiri sciureus (Linnaeus) and Saimiri ustus (Geoffroy) caught respectively near 2 hydroelectric plants: Balbina, in the State of ...

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.

Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Despite the efforts and distinct methodologies, the search of antigens for diagnosis, vaccine, and drug targets for the disease is still needed. The present study is aimed at identifying possible antigens that could be used for diagnosis, vaccine, and drugs targets
