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) …

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 …

Understanding the complex population biology and transmission ecology of multihost
parasites has been declared as one of the major challenges of biomedical sciences for the …

Chagas disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi affects millions of people.
Although its first genome dates from 2005, its complexity hindered a complete assembly and …

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

Clonal propagation is considered to be the predominant mode of reproduction among many
parasitic protozoa. However, this assumption may overlook unorthodox, infrequent or cryptic …
