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

Trypanosomatids in dogs belonging to individuals with chronic Chagas’ disease living in Botucatu town and surrounding region, São Paulo State, Brazil

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2005
Among domestic animals, dogs are considered to be the major reservoirs of trypanosomatids and, due to their proximity to man, the presence of these parasites in dogs is an alert to actions aiming at triatomine control. Fifty dogs (26 males and 24 females)

Trypanosoma cruzi Mexican Strains Differentially Modulate Surface Markers and Cytokine Production in Bone Marrow‐Derived Dendritic Cells from C57BL/6 and BALB/c Mice

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a type of antigen‐presenting cells that play an important role in the immune response against Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the modulation of these cells by this parasite can directly affect the innate and acquired immune response of the host in order to ...

Visceral Leishmaniasis in West Africa: Clinical Characteristics, Vectors, and Reservoirs

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most serious form of human leishmaniasis. VL is understudied in West Africa. The increasing number of patients at‐risk, including persons living with HIV and other chronic immunosuppressive diseases, and likely underreporting of VL related to diagnostic challenges advocate for review of existing data to understand VL ...

Leishmaniasis: new approaches to disease control. [PDF]

, 2003
The leishmaniases afflict the world's poorest populations. Among the two million new cases each year in the 88 countries where the disease is endemic (fig 1), it is estimated that 80% earn less than $2 a day.

Effects of a zoonotic pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi, on the behavior of a key reservoir host

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 4074-4083, April 2018., 2018
Vaccination of field populations of white‐footed mice, which reduced titers of the Lyme disease bacterium in individual mice, reduced tick burdens by 20% compared to sham‐vaccinated mice, apparently by facilitating increased grooming behavior. This and other behavioral alterations of mice with experimentally reduced pathogen loads might affect the ...

The Search for an Efficient Black Fly Trap for Xenomonitoring of Onchocerciasis

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Onchocerciasis is a neglected tropical disease that has plagued mankind for decades with pathologies that involve the eyes and the skin. The WHO and the global health community have earmarked the disease for global elimination by 2045. However, as control programmes shift focus from reduction of the burden of the disease to elimination, new tools and ...
