Frequency of the Congenital Transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is endemic in much of Latin America. With increased globalisation and immigration, it is a risk in any country, partly through congenital transmission. The frequency of congenital

World Association for Veterinary Dermatology Consensus Statement for Diagnosis, and Evidence‐Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treatment and Prevention of Canine Leishmaniosis

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 723-787, December 2025.
Hyperkeratosis of (a) the footpads and (b) the nasal planum. ABSTRACT Background Canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum remains common, and veterinarians do not always follow scientifically sound approaches for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Objectives To provide consensus guidelines for diagnosis and evidence‐based guidelines for

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.

Combining epidemiology with basic biology of sand flies, parasites, and hosts to inform leishmaniasis transmission dynamics and control. [PDF]

, 2017
Quantitation of the nonlinear heterogeneities in Leishmania parasites, sand fly vectors, and mammalian host relationships provides insights to better understand leishmanial transmission epidemiology towards improving its control. The parasite manipulates

Light effect on feeding of first instar Dipetalogaster maximus in xenodiagnosis [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1993
over a period of ten years suggest that a smaller quantity of blood is being ingested by hungry first instar bugs1 3. Since in Mexico the majority of bugs are first instar of diumal habit it was suggested that feeding might be related to light intensity2.

A case–control study on risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis in West Pokot County, Kenya

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 29, Issue 10, Page 904-912, October 2024.
Abstract Background Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a severe parasitic disease transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. VL is endemic in West Pokot County, Kenya, where effective strategies to interrupt transmission are impeded by the limited understanding of VL risk factors.

Revisiting the Posttherapeutic Cure Criterion in Chagas Disease: Time for New Methods, More Questions, Doubts, and Polemics or Time to Change Old Concepts?

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
One of the most relevant issues beyond the effectiveness of etiological treatment of Chagas disease is the lack of consensual/feasible tools to identify and certify the definitive parasitological cure. Several methods of distinct natures (parasitological, serological, and molecular) have been continuously proposed and novel perspectives are currently ...

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)

Xenodiagnosis to Detect Borrelia burgdorferi Infection: A First-in-Human Study [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2014
Animal studies suggest that Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, may persist after antibiotic therapy and can be detected by various means including xenodiagnosis using the natural tick vector (Ixodes scapularis). No convincing evidence exists for the persistence of viable spirochetes after recommended courses of antibiotic therapy in ...
