As a consequence of Triatoma infestans eradication in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Brazil,
these countries are considered free from Trypanosoma cruzi vectorial transmission, but the …

The aim of this study was to reevaluate the ecology of an area in the Atlantic Forest,
southeast Brazil, where Chagas disease (CD) has been found to occur. In a previous study …

BACKGROUND Trypanosoma cruzi is endemic to the Americas where it demonstrates
multiple lineages over a vast geographic range (ie, United States to Argentina). These …

Landscape interactions of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) with Triatoma dimidiata (Td) depend on
the presence and relative abundance of mammal hosts. This study analyzed a landscape …

We characterized 15 Trypanosoma cruzi isolates from bats captured in the Amazon, Central
and Southeast Brazilian regions. Phylogenetic relationships among T. cruzi lineages using …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, and T. rangeli are
kinetoplastid parasites endemic to Latin America. Although closely related to T. cruzi and …

Genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi populations and parasite transmission dynamics
have been well documented throughout the Americas, but few studies have been conducted …

We report Trypanosoma cruzi infection in wild and domestic mammals from three orally
acquired Chagas disease outbreak areas in Brazil. Cachoeiro do Arari (Pará) displayed a …

The presence of acute Chagas disease (ACD) due to oral transmission is growing and
expanding in several South American countries. Within the Amazon basin, the Abaetetuba …

A trophic network involving molds, invertebrates, and vertebrates, ancestrally adapted to the
palm tree (Attalaea phalerata) microhabitat, maintains enzootic Trypanosoma cruzi …
