Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease (ChD), exhibits remarkable biological and
genetic diversity, along with eco-epidemiological complexity. In order to facilitate …

Chagas disease is one of the most important tropical infections in the world and mainly
affects poor people. The causative agent is the hemoflagellate protozoan Trypanosoma …

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 …

Many important pathogen-host interactions rely on highly specific carbohydrate binding
events. In the case of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas …

Mucins and mucin-like molecules are highly O-glycosylated proteins present on the cell
surface of mammals and other organisms. These glycoproteins are highly diverse in the …

This review focusses on the interactions between the etiologic agent of Chagas disease,
Trypanosoma cruzi, and its triatomine vector. The flagellate mainly colonizes the intestinal …

Transmission of trypanosomatids to their mammalian hosts requires a complex series of
developmental transitions in their insect vectors, including stable attachment to an insect …

Background Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, displays a highly structured
population, with multiple strains that can be grouped into 6–7 evolutionary lineages showing …

In this book chapter, we discuss the interactions between triatomines, two heteroxenous
trypanosomatids—Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, and …

Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoa that causes Chagas disease in humans, is transmitted by
insects from the Reduviidae family. The parasite has developed the ability to change the …
