CD8+ T Cell‐Mediated Immunity during Trypanosoma cruzi Infection: A Path for Vaccine Development?
Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 MHC‐restricted CD8+ T cells are important during infection with the intracellular protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Experimental studies performed in the past 25 years have elucidated a number of features related to the immune response mediated by these T cells, which are important for establishing the ...

Infectiousness in a Cohort of Brazilian Dogs: Why Culling Fails to Control Visceral Leishmaniasis in Areas of High Transmission [PDF]
, 2002 The elimination of seropositive dogs in Brazil has been used to control zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis but with little success. To elucidate the reasons for this, the infectiousness of 50 sentinel dogs exposed to natural Leishmania chagasi infection was

Chagas’ Disease: Pregnancy and Congenital Transmission
BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Chagas disease is a chronic infection that kills approximately 12,000 people a year. Mass migration of chronically infected and asymptomatic persons has caused globalization of Chagas disease and has made nonvectorial infection, including vertical and blood‐borne transmission, more of a threat to human communities than vectorial infection.
