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 …

The complexity of host–pathogen interactions often leads to distinct clinical outcomes upon
infection with different pathogen strains. In this Review, we explore the interactions between …

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 …

Human trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases
caused by infection with the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma spp. and Leishmania spp …

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a lifelong and debilitating
illness of major significance throughout Latin America and an emergent threat to global …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, which affects more than 9
million people in Latin America. We have generated a draft genome sequence of the TcI …

Parasites of the genus Trypanosoma are common in bats and those of the subgenus
Schizotrypanum are restricted to bats throughout the world, with the exception of …

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

The clonal theory of parasitic protozoa has been recently challenged by researchers stating
that recombination in Kinetoplastida is much more frequent than previously believed, or that …

The present review addresses basic aspects of the biology of the pathogenic protozoa
Trypanosoma cruzi and some comparative information of Trypanosoma brucei. Like …
