(Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2018)© 2018, Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz. All rights reserved. BACKGROUND Vector transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi appears to be interrupted in Chile; however, data show increasing incidence of Chagas’ disease, raising concerns that ...

Chronic Chagas cardiopathy in Chile. Importance of Trypanosoma cruzi burden and clinical evaluation (Elsevier, 2016)Currently there are no biological markers to indicate which individuals with chronic indeterminate period of Chagas disease develop heart disease and who will remain all his life in this phase. The aim of this survey was ...
-
(2013)We evaluate the elimination of the microscopic stage of conventional xenodiagnosis (XD) to optimize the parasitological diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi in chronic Chagas disease. To this purpose we applied under informed ...
-
(2013)Background: This study investigated the prevalence of Chagas disease (ChD) in pregnant women in Choapa Province (IV Region, Chile) and the vertical transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi. Method: ELISA and IFI IgG for ChD was ...
-
(SBMT, 2005-12)O desenvolvimento, desde 1991, das Iniciativas Subregionais de Controle da Doença de Chagas, e os avanços de conhecimento em matéria de diagnóstico e manejo da infecção/doença de Chagas, levam a necessidade ética, ...
-
(2010)Chagas disease must be treated in all its stages: acute, indeterminate, chronic, and initial and middle determinant chronic, due to the fact that DNA of the parasite can be demonstrated by PCR in chronic cases, where optical ...
-
(2011)Objectives: This study compared three parasitological methods applied simultaneously in individuals with untreated chronic Chagas' disease in order to determine their individual and combined performances. Methods: From a ...
-
(2009)PCR and Southern blot hybridization were used to determine the distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi clones in 37 chronic chagasic cardiopathic and non-cardiopathic patients. Parasite DNA amplified from peripheral blood or ...
-
(Elsevier B.V., 2018)© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Chagas disease is a major public health problem in Latin America and has spread to other countries due to immigration of infected persons. 10–30% of patients with chronic Chagas disease will develop ...
-
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2006-07)Objectives: The aim of this work was to study the distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi clones after treatment failure with itraconazole or allopurinol in infected humans. Methods: Blood samples from treated and untreated ...

-
(American Society for Microbiology, 2013-09)Currently, evaluation of drug efficacy for Chagas disease remains a controversial issue with no consensus. In this work, we evaluated the parasitological efficacy of Nifurtimox treatment in 21 women with chronic Chagas ...
-
(SPRINGER, 2010-09)To investigate whether Trypanosoma cruzi populations found in chagasic cardiopathic and non-cardiopathic patients are genetically differentiated, three molecular microsatellite markers were analysed. This analysis was also ...

-
(2012)The objective of this study was to determine the presence of Trypanosoma cruzi in blood samples of mothers with chronic Chagas disease and their newborn by conventional PCR targeted to minicircle kinetoplastidic DNA (kDNA), ...
-
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)© 2016 The Author(s).Background: Trypanosoma cruzi multiplies and differentiates in the digestive tract of triatomine insects. Xenodiagnosis (XD) is a parasitological tool in which the insect vectors acts as a biological ...
-
(2012)Background: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has proved to be a sensitive technique to detect Trypanosoma cruzi in the chronic phase of Chagas disease, which is characterized by low and fluctuating parasitemia. Another ...
-
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)© 2017 Elsevier B.V. The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, a major public health problem in Latin America. This parasite has a complex population structure comprised by six or seven major ...
-
(2012)Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) polymorphisms may influence susceptibility and manifestation of Trypanosoma cruzi infection. In northern Chile, we examined 61 asymptomatic patients with chronic ...
