    • Comparison of Trypanosoma cruzi detection by PCR in blood and dejections of Triatoma infestans fed on ... 
      Coronado, Ximena; Zulantay Alfaro, Inés; Reyes, Eduardo; Apt Baruch, Werner; Venegas Hermosilla, Juan; Rodríguez Borges, Jorge; Solari Illescas, Aldo; Sánchez, Gittith (ELSEVIER, 2006-07)
      In this study, we compare the sensitivity of detecting Trypanosoma cruzi in dejections of Triatoma infestans nymphs that had fed on the blood of chronic chagasic patients, with detection of T. cruzi in peripheral blood, ...
    • Estimación del impacto económico de la equinococosis quística en Chile y análisis de las posibles causas ... 
      Venegas, Juan; Espinoza, Sandra; Sánchez, Gittith (Sociedad Médica de Santiago, 2014)
      Background: Hydatid disease or cystic echinococcosis, caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, has a worldwide distribution, affecting people of working age and can cause high levels of morbidity and even death. ...
    • Microsatellite loci-based distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes from Chilean chronic Chagas disease ... 
      Venegas Hermosilla, Juan; Díaz Cuevas, Laín; Rojas, Tamara; Miranda, Sandra; Jercic, M. I.; González, Christian; Coñoepán, William; Vargas, Álex; Pichuantes, Sergio; Gajardo Ramírez, Marta Kelly; Rodríguez Borges, Jorge; Sánchez, Gittith (Stefan´ski Institute of Parasitology, 2013)
      The objective of this study was to investigate if there is specific host-parasite association in Chilean populations of Trypanosoma cruzi. For this purpose, two groups of parasites were analyzed, one from chronic chagasic ...
    • Microsatellite marker analysis shows differentiation among Trypanosoma cruzi populations of peripheral blood ... 
      Venegas Hermosilla, Juan; Miranda, Sandra; Coñoepan, William; Pîchuantes, Sergio; Jercic, María Isabel; González, Christian; Gajardo, Marta; Apt Baruch, Werner; Arribada, Arturo; Sánchez, Gittith (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 ...
    • Molecular mechanisms involved in the inactivation of the first component of human complement by Trypanosoma ... 
      Valck, Carolina; Ramírez Toloza, Galia; López, Nandy; Ribeiro, Carolina Hager; Maldonado, Ismael; Sánchez, Gittith; Ferreira, Viviana; Schwaeble, Wilhelm; Ferreira Vigouroux, Luis Arturo (ELSEVIER, 2010)
      Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), the agent of Chagas’ disease, the sixth most important neglected tropical disease worldwide, causes 50,000 deaths per year in Latin America. T. cruzi calreticulin (TcCRT), a highly pleiotropic ...
    • Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin: A novel virulence factor that binds complement C1 on the parasite surface ... 
      Ramírez Toloza, Galia; Valck, Carolina; Molina, María C.; Ribeiro, Carolina Hager; López, Nandy; Sánchez, Gittith; Ferreira, Viviana P.; Billetta, Rosario; Aguilar, Lorena; Maldonado, Ismael; Cattan Ayala, Pedro; Schwaeble, Wilhelm; Ferreira Vigouroux, Luis Arturo (Elsevier, 2011)
      In Trypanosoma cruzi, calreticulin (TcCRT) translocates from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the area of flagellum emergence. We propose herein that the parasite uses this molecule to capture complement C1, in an ...
