      Larenas Herrera, Julio; Bello González, Belén; Zúñiga Martí, Claudio; Paláu Castaño, María Teresa; Vergara Castillo, Ulises (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2017)
      This study aimed to evaluate the damage in the myocardial tissue in ovariectomized and non-ovariectomized Balb/c mice and the relationship with inflammatory damage, number of pseudocysts and correlation with parasitemia ...
    • Feeding profile of Mepraia spinolai, a sylvatic vector of Chagas disease in Chile 
      Chacón, F.; Bacigalupo, A.; Quiroga, J. F.; Ferreira, A.; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Ramírez Toloza, Galia (Elsevier, 2016)
      American trypanosomiasis is a chronic disease transmitted mainly by vectors. The hematophagous triatomine vectors transmit Trypanosoma cruzi to a wide variety of mammals, which usually are their food source. This study ...

      Bacigalupo, Antonella; Segura M., José A.; García C., Alejandro; Hidalgo C., Javier; Galuppo G., Stephania; Cattan Ayala, Pedro (2006)
      Background: Insects of the subfamily triatominae are the biological vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease. Aim: To search for wild colonies of triatomines in the Metropolitan Region of Chile. ...
    • Spatial distribution of an infectious disease in a small mammal community 
      Correa, Juana P.; Bacigalupo, Antonella; Fontúrbel, Francisco E.; Oda, Esteban; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Solari Illescas, Aldo; Botto Mahan, Carezza (Springer, 2015)
      Chagas disease is a zoonosis caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by insect vectors to several mammals, but little is known about its spatial epidemiology. We assessed the spatial distribution of T. ...
    • Statistical phylogeography of Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans: Testing biogeographic hypotheses ... 
      Torres Pérez, Fernando; Acuña Retamar, Mariana; Cook, Joseph A.; Bacigalupo, Antonella; García Mora, Alejandro; Cattan Ayala, Pedro (Elsevier, 2011)
      Chagas disease is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in Latin America. The disease, caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is commonly transmitted to humans by Triatoma infestans in South ...
    • The parasite load of Trypanosoma cruzi modulates feeding and defecation patterns of the chagas disease ... 
      Chacón Olivos, Francisco Javier; Bacigalupo Bacigalupo, Antonella Eugenia; Álvarez Duhart, Bárbara Raquel; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto Antonio; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina (MDPI, 2022)
      Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic zoonosis transmitted mainly through the feces of triatomine insects. Triatoma infestans is the main triatomine vector of this disease in South America. ...
    • Trypanosoma cruzi load in synanthropic rodents from rural areas in Chile 
      Yefi Quinteros, Esteban; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina; Bacigalupo, Antonella; Correa, Juana P.; Cattan Ayala, Pedro (BIOMED Central Ltd., 2018)
      Background: Trypanosoma cruzi is the agent of Chagas disease, a major public health problem in Latin America. Many wild and domestic animals are naturally infected with T. cruzi; rodents are one of the groups which have ...
    • Trypanosoma cruzi parasite load modulates the circadian activity pattern of triatoma infestans 
      Chacón Olivos, Francisco Javier; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina; Bacigalupo Bacigalupo, Antonella Eugenia; Álvarez Duhart, Bárbara Raquel; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto Antonio; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo (MDPI, 2022)
      Simple Summary We studied the locomotor activity of one of the kissing bug species that transmit the Chagas disease-causing parasite in humans, which usually bites during the night. To date, no other reports researching ...
