Field assessment of Trypanosoma cruzi infection and host survival in the native rodent Octodon degus Botto Mahan, Carezza; Bacigalupo, Antonella; Correa, Juana P.; Oda, Esteban; Solari Illescas, Aldo (2012)Chagas disease is a zoonosis caused by the flagellated parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by triatomine insects to several mammalian species acting as reservoir hosts. In the present study, we assess T. cruzi-prevalence, ...

Egaña, Camila; Pinto, Raquel; Vergara, Fernanda; Ortiz, Sylvia; Campos Soto, Ricardo; Solari Illescas, Aldo (Elsevier, 2016)Mepraia species are hematophagous insects and the most important wild vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease in southeastern South America. Because the domestic Triatoma infestans is already ...

Mejía-Jaramillo, Ana María; Agudelo-Uribe, Luz Adriana; Dib, Juan Carlos; Ortiz, Sylvia; Solari Illescas, Aldo; Triana-Chávez, Omar (BioMed Central Ltd., 2014)Background: Chagas disease is a neglected illness caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, which widely affects American communities. This study attempted to identify T. cruzi genotypes circulating in four indigenous ...

Solari Illescas, Aldo; Gatica, Marta; Allende, Jorge E. (1977)Yeast transfer RNA specific for phenylalanine has been treated chemically to remove either one or two nucleotides of its 3′ terminus and has been injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes to test whether this RNA can be repaired ...

Wallace, Anne; Sanchez, Gittith; Venegas, Juan; Solari Illescas, Aldo (1995)Immune sera from mice infected with specific Zymodemes of Trypanosoma cruzi parasites displayed preferential in vitro complement-mediated trypanolytic activity with homologous or genetically related bloodstream trypomastigotes. ...

Zulantay Alfaro, Inés; Venegas, Juan; Apt Baruch, Werner; Solari Illescas, Aldo; Sanchez, Gittith (American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1998)An antibody-dependent, complement-mediated lysis test performed with three Chilean trypomastigote strains used as target cells revealed strain dependence in the detection of lytic antibodies in chronic chagasic sera. The ...

Ortiz Zúñiga, Sylvia; Osorio Abarzúa, Carlos Gonzalo; Solari Illescas, Aldo (Elsevier, 2017-07)The taxon Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease, is composed of several discrete typing units (DTUs) named TcI-TcVI, and Tcbat. The history of the taxon T. cruzi is known, even though several controversial ...

Coronado, Ximena; Rozas, Marlene; Botto Mahan, Carezza; Ortíz, Sylvia; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Solari Illescas, Aldo (2009)The sylvatic transmission cycle of Chagas disease in Chile is composed of wild mammals and insects of the genus Mepraia. We determined infection rates and Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes in Mepraia spinolai. We collected 227 ...

Rozas, Marlene; De Doncker, Simonne; Adaui, Vanessa; Coronado, Ximena; Barnabé, Christian; Tibyarenc, Michel; Solari Illescas, Aldo; Dujardin, Jean Claude (2007)Background. Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is subdivided into 6 discrete typing units (DTUs); their identification is important to understand clinical pleomorphism and track sylvatic DTUs that might ...

Rojas Garrido, María Cecilia; Gutierrez, Crisanto; Litvak, Simón; Solari Illescas, Aldo (1993)DNA synthesis in epimastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied autoradiographically by incorporation of [3H]thymidine in the nuclear and kinetoplast DNA. Both DNA were heavily labelled. Three eukaryotic DNA polymerase ...
