Experimental Vaccines against Chagas Disease: A Journey through History

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Chagas disease, or American trypanosomiasis, which is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is primarily a vector disease endemic in 21 Latin American countries, including Mexico. Although many vector control programs have been implemented, T. cruzi has not been eradicated. The development of an anti‐T.

Trypanosoma cruzi Infection and Host Lipid Metabolism

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease. Approximately 8 million people are thought to be affected worldwide. Several players in host lipid metabolism have been implicated in T. cruzi‐host interactions in recent research, including macrophages, adipocytes, low density lipoprotein (LDL), low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), and ...

Studies on Trypanosoma rangeli Tejera 1920. VII - Its effect on the survival of infected triatomine bugs

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1984
The pathological effects of Trypanosoma rangeli on Rhodnius prolixus and R. robustus, and the relation of mortality to infection, were studied under laboratory conditions. Frequent observations revealed that when the first instar nymphs of R.

Topographic Barriers and Lowland Corridors Structure Gene Flow in the Chagas Vector Rhodnius pallescens Across the Isthmian Forests

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographic processes can profoundly shape the connectivity and evolutionary potential of arthropod disease vectors. We investigated how Panama's ecological and topographic transitions structure populations of the kissing bug Rhodnius pallescens, the primary vector of the Chagas disease agent Trypanosoma cruzi in the region.

Partial Purification of Integral Membrane Antigenic Proteins from Trypanosoma evansi That Display Immunological Cross‐Reactivity with Trypanosoma vivax

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Trypanosoma evansi and Trypanosoma vivax, which are the major causative agents of animal trypanosomosis in Venezuela, have shown a very high immunological cross‐reactivity. Since the production of T. vivax antigens is a limiting factor as this parasite is difficult to propagate in experimental animal models, our goal has been to identify and isolate ...

Verificação de flagelados semelhantes ao Trypanosoma rangeli Tejera, em Rhodnius prolixus alimentados em caso de doença de Chagas na Venezuela: considerações sobre a natureza deste protozoário

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1943
1) - Por inoculação do sangue de um caso agúdo de moléstia de Chagas de Zaraza, Guárico, Venezuela, em cobaia (12-11-1940), obteve-se um Schizotrypanum com caractéres morfológicos distintos dos das amostras humanas comuns do Schizotrypanum cruzi; seu ...

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Genetic Structure and Expression of the Surface Glycoprotein GP82, the Main Adhesin of Trypanosoma cruzi Metacyclic Trypomastigotes

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
T. cruzi improves the likelihood of invading or adapting to the host through its capacity to present a large repertoire of surface molecules. The metacyclic stage‐specific surface glycoprotein GP82 has been implicated in host cell invasion. GP82 is encoded by multiple genes from the trans‐sialidase superfamily.
