Abstract Background Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida, Trypanosomatidae) infection is an
ancient and widespread zoonosis distributed throughout the Americas. Ecologically, Brazil …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, is monophyletic but
genetically heterogeneous. It is currently represented by six genetic lineages (Discrete …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite characterized by extensive genetic
heterogeneity. There are currently six recognised, genetically distinct, monophyletic clades …

Trypanosoma cruzi infection is a complex sylvatic enzooty involving a wide range of animal
species. Six discrete typing units (DTUs) of T. cruzi, named TcI to TcVI, are currently …

In this study, we report and discuss the results generated from over 20 years of studies of the
Trypanosoma cruzi sylvatic transmission cycle. Our results have uncovered new aspects …

This study aimed to identify the Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes and their relationship with
parasitic load in distinct geographic and ecotypic populations of Triatoma brasiliensis in two …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the aetiological agent of Chagas disease, which affects approximately
eight million people in the Americas. This parasite exhibits genetic variability, with at least …

We characterized 28 new isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi IIc (TCIIc) of mammals and
triatomines from Northern to Southern Brazil, confirming the widespread distribution of this …

Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasitic protozoan responsible for Chagas disease. Seven different
Discrete Typing Units (DTUs) of T. cruzi are currently identified in nature: TcI− TcVI, and …

Acute Chagas disease (ACD) caused by Trypanosoma cruzi has emerged as a major food-
borne disease in Brazilian Amazonia. For the first time, we characterized an outbreak of …
