      Congenital Chagas’ disease is caused by the haemophlagelated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), which is able to cross the placental barrier and infect both the placenta and fetus. However, congenital transmission ...

      Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite and the causative agent of Chagas disease. Like most living organisms, it is susceptible to oxidative stress, and must adapt to distinct environments. Hence, DNA repair is essential ...
    • Galindo Díaz, Mario; Sabaj Diez, Valeria; Espinoza, Ingrid; Toro, Gabriela Cecilia; Búa, Jaqueline; Grenet, Jose; López Solís, Remigio; Ruiz, Andres Mariano; Galanti Garrone, Norbel (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007-05)
      The Trypanosoma cruzi karyotype shows an extensive chromosomal size polymorphism. Absence of condensed mitotic chromosomes and chromatin fragility are characteristic features of T. cruzi which would allow DNA breaks and ...
