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

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, presents wide genetic diversity.
Currently, six discrete typing units (DTUs), named TcI to TcVI, and a seventh one called …

Over the last 30 years, concomitant with successful transnational disease control programs
across Latin America, Chagas disease has expanded from a neglected, endemic parasitic …

Trypanosoma cruzi is a complex of phenotypically and genetically diverse isolates
distributed in six discrete typing units (DTUs) designated as TcI–TcVI. Five years ago, T …

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 …

Trypanosomatids are ancient parasitic eukaryotes that still maintain prokaryotic
characteristics. Trypanosoma cruzi, a primarily wild mammal parasite, infected humans …

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 …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi infection via oral route results in outbreaks or cases of acute
Chagas disease (ACD) in different Brazilian regions and poses a novel epidemiological …

Chagas disease is still a major public health issue in many Latin American countries. One of
the current major challenges is to find an association between Trypanosoma cruzi discrete …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, is currently divided
into six discrete typing units (DTUs), named TcI-TcVI. TcII is among the major DTUs enrolled …
