We present a review on the natural infection by trypanosomatids of nonhuman vertebrates in
Chile, aiming to synthesize and update the knowledge on the diversity of trypanosomatids …

Due to the rudimentary antioxidant defenses in Trypanosoma cruzi, disruptors of redox
balance are promising candidates for new antitrypanosomal drugs. We developed an …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic zoonosis transmitted
mainly through the feces of triatomine insects. Triatoma infestans is the main triatomine …

Vector-borne infectious disease dynamics result mainly from the intertwined effect of the
diversity, abundance, and behaviour of hosts and vectors. Most studies, however, have …

Background The distribution of parasite load across hosts may modify the transmission
dynamics of infectious diseases. Chagas disease is caused by a multi-host protozoan …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi is the agent of Chagas disease, a major public health
problem in Latin America. Many wild and domestic animals are naturally infected with T …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite that is transmitted by triatomine
vectors to mammals. It is classified in six discrete typing units (DTUs). In Chile, domestic …

Abstract Mepraia spinolai,(Porter) 1934, is a diurnal triatomine endemic to Chile and a wild
vector of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi,(Chagas) 1909, which causes Chagas disease …

The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of the Chagas disease,
which is endemic in southeastern Mexico and is transmitted by the vector Triatoma dimidiata …

Chagas disease is a public health problem in America. Its parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi,
presents different discrete typing units (DTUs), colonizes organs of mammalian hosts in …
