American trypanosomiasis is a parasitic zoonosis that occurs throughout Latin America. The
etiological agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, is able to infect almost all tissues of its mammalian …

Transmission of Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis depends on Trypanosoma
cruzi development and differentiation within its triatomine insect vector. In this review, Eloi …

We review the epidemiological role of domestic and commensal hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi
using a quantitative approach, and compiled> 400 reports on their natural infection. We link …

The flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (order Kinetoplastida) is the aetiological agent
of Chagas' disease. The disease, predominantly rural, affects approximately 10-12 million …

Publisher Summary The proposed ancient coevolutionary history of T. cruzi with its
mammalian hosts is based on the relatively recent acquisition of hematophagic habits by the …

Little is known on the role played by Neotropical wild carnivores in the Trypanosoma cruzi
transmission cycles. We investigated T. cruzi infection in wild carnivores from three sites in …

Abstract Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastea: Trypanosomatidae) infects all tissues of its
hosts, which along with humans, include hundreds of mammalian species in the Americas …

Morpho-biological diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi has been known since Chagas' first works
in 1909. Several further studies confirmed the morphological differences among the parasite …

It is often assumed that parasites are not virulent to their vectors. Nevertheless, parasites
commonly exploit their vectors (nutritionally for example) so these can be considered a form …

Trypanosoma cruzi and the majority of its insect vectors (Hemiptera, Reduviidae,
Triatominae) are confined to the Americas. But while recent molecular studies indicate a …
