Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, has a variable clinical
course, ranging from symptomless infection to severe chronic disease with cardiovascular or …

Since the identification of Neospora caninum in 1984 as a parasite separate from
Toxoplasma gondii by Bjerkas et al., and its subsequent characterization and classification …

To date, the time of acquisition of a Cryptococcus neoformans infectious strain has never
been studied. We selected a primer,(GACA) 4, and a probe, CNRE-1, that by randomly …

Six discrete phylogenetic lineages were recently identified in Trypanosoma cruzi, on the
basis of multilocus enzyme electrophoresis and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) …

We describe here the identification of eight polymorphic microsatellite loci with (CA) n
repeats in the Trypanosoma cruzi genome based on the affinity capture of fragments using …

Our research aimed to characterize the genetic profiles of 102 Trypanosoma cruzi isolates
recently obtained from 44 chronic chagasic patients from different regions of the states of …

Development of microsatellite markers has been an increasing trend in crop genetic studies
because oftheir applicability in breeding programs. Here we report the development of inter …

The genetic variability of 19 Toxoplasma gondii strains isolated from humans and animals in
Brazil was detected by both random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction …

Chagas disease, caused by the obligate unicellular parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, presents
itself in a diverse collection of clinical manifestations, ranging from severe, fatal heart and …

Leishmania infantum (syn. Leishmania chagasi) is the etiological agent of visceral
leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil. The epidemiology of VL is poorly understood. Therefore, a more …
