Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease, usually transmitted by
triatomine vectors. An estimated 20 to 30% of infected individuals develop potentially lethal …

The genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan agent of Chagas disease, is
widely recognized. At present, T. cruzi is partitioned into seven discrete typing units (DTUs) …

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 …

Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi is a public health issue in Latin America.
This highly diverse parasite is divided into at least seven discrete typing units (DTUs) TcI …

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

Advocacy for better drugs and access to treatment has boosted the interest in drug discovery
and development for Chagas disease, a chronic infection caused by the genetically …

Orally transmitted Chagas disease has become a matter of concern due to outbreaks
reported in four Latin American countries. Although several mechanisms for orally …

Congenital Chagas disease remains an important contributor to the global disease burden
because of T. cruzi. PCR and related molecular techniques represent the most sensitive …

Triatomine bugs, the vectors of Chagas disease, feed primarily on vertebrate blood and live
in close association with their hosts. Here we provide an updated synthesis of current …

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 …
