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 protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, its mammalian reservoirs, and vectors have existed in
nature for millions of years. The human infection, named Chagas disease, is a major public …

Chagas' disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and causes
potentially life-threatening disease of the heart and gastrointestinal tract. The southern half …

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 …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan agent of Chagas disease, and the most important
parasitic disease in Latin America. Protozoa of the genus Leishmania are global agents of …

We propose that clonal evolution in micropathogens be defined as restrained recombination
on an evolutionary scale, with genetic exchange scarce enough to not break the prevalent …

Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi is a complex disease that is endemic and an
important problem in public health in Latin America. The T. cruzi parasite is classified into six …

The single celled eukaryote Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite transmitted by numerous species
of triatomine bug in the Americas, causes Chagas disease in humans. T. cruzi generally …
