Trypanosoma cruzi parasitemia observed in immunocompromised patients: the importance of the artificial xenodiagnosis [PDF]
Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2001 Trypanosoma cruzi parasitemia observed in immunocompromised patients (transplant or positive HIV) occurred more frequently by the artificial xenodiagnosis method (10/38) compared with hemoculture (2/38), given the same quantity of blood.

Evaluation of C3H/HeJ Mice for Xenodiagnosis of Infection with Ehrlichia Chaffeensis [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1999 Because mice are experimentally susceptible to infection with Ehrlichia species, C3H/HeJmice were evaluated as a potential xenodiagnostic model for detection of infection with and isolation of E. chaffeensis. Intraperitoneal inoculation of mice with E.

Feeding of Ticks on Animals for Transmission and Xenodiagnosis in Lyme Disease Research [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2013 Transmission of the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, occurs by the attachment and blood feeding of Ixodes species ticks on mammalian hosts. In nature, this zoonotic bacterial pathogen may use a variety of reservoir hosts, but the white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) is the primary reservoir for larval and nymphal ticks in ...

Cutaneous allergic reactions to Triatoma infestans after xenodiagnosis [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1980 We determined the frequency of cutaneous allergic reactions to bites of Triatoma infestans during xenodiagnosis in a rural community where Panstrongylus megistrus is the only domestic vector of Trypanosoma cruzi. Localized urticaria or more intense cutaneous allergic reactions at 48 and 72 hours were observed in 86.7% and 82.1% respectively of the ...

Attempts to Improve Xenodiagnosis: Comparative Test of Sensibility Using Rhodnius neglectus, Panstrongylus megistus, Triatoma vitticeps and Triatoma infestans in Endemic Areas of Brazil [PDF]
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1997 From June 1984 to July 1992, 392 xenodiagnostic tests were applied on 264 patients with chronic Chagas disease from Brazilian endemic areas of Virgem da Lapa and Coronel Murta, situated in the Jequitinhonha Valley, in the State of Minas Gerais.

Studies in search of a suitable experimental insect model for xenodiagnosis of hosts with Chagas' disease. 1 - Comparative xenodiagnosis with nine triatomine species of animals with acute infections by Trypanosoma cruzi [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1982 In search of a suitable vector species for xenodiagnosis of humans and animals with chronic Chagas' disease we first investigated the reactions of different vector species to acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. Vector species utilized in this study were: Triatoma infestans, Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata, all well adapted to human ...
