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 …

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 …

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 …

This review reexamines the results obtained in recent decades regarding the compatibility
polymorphism between the snail, Biomphalaria glabrata, and the pathogen, Schistosoma …

Many eukaryotic pathogenic microorganisms that were previously assumed to propagate
clonally have retained cryptic sexual cycles. The principal reproductive mode of …

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 …

Background Bat trypanosomes are implicated in the evolution of the T. cruzi clade, which
harbours most African, European and American trypanosomes from bats and other …

Background The evolutionary history and ecological associations of Trypanosoma cruzi, the
need to identify genetic markers that can distinguish parasite subpopulations, and …

Trypanosoma cruzi is widely reported in bats, yet transmission routes remain unclear. We
present evidence from metagenomic sequence data that T. cruzi occurs in the saliva of …
