(Elsevier, 2010)Congenital Chagas’ disease, endemic in Latin America and also present with lower frequency in other countries, is associated with premature labor, miscarriage, and placentitis. The mechanism of tissue invasion and infection ...
-
(W.B. Saunders, 2014)Introduction: The congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) is responsible for one-third of new Chagas disease cases each year. During congenital transmission, the parasite breaks down the placental barrier ...
-
(Public Library Science, 2021)Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by the triatomine Mepraia spinolai in the southwest of South America. Here, we examined the T. cruzi-infection dynamics of field-caught M. spinolai after ...
-
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2014)© 2014 by The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. We evaluated Trypanosoma cruzi infection rates by means of minicircle DNA-based polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) in 70 starved Mepraia gajardoi from northern ...
-
(Elsevier, 2015)Chagas disease is an endemic, neglected tropical disease in Latin America that is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. In vitro models constitute the first experimental approach to study the physiopathology ...

-
(1987)Fifty-two isolates and several clones from Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas' disease, were analyzed using cloned minicircles or total kinetoplast DNA as probes. Isolates were obtained from triatomines, guinea pigs ...
-
(2014)Background: The Trypanosoma cruzi satellite DNA (satDNA) OligoC-TesT is a standardised PCR format for diagnosis of Chagas disease. The sensitivity of the test is lower for discrete typing unit (DTU) TcI than for TcII-VI ...
-
(1990)The following phenolic antioxidant food additives were evaluated against Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes: BHT, BHA, gallic acid and its methyl, propyl, octyl, and lauryl esters, 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(4-methoxybenzyl)-phenol, ...
-
(Elsevier Ltd, 2008-01-15)Derivatives of natural quinones with biological activities, such as lapachol, α- and β-lapachones, have been synthesized and their trypanocidal activity evaluated in vitro in Trypanosoma cruzi cells. All tested compounds ...
-
(1983)1. 1. Carboxylesterase activity corresponding to types A and B has been demonstrated in intact T. cruzi epimastigotes as shown by the hydrolysis of several esters of p-nitrophenol and the effect of suitable inhibitors. 2. ...
-
(1993)Forty-three Trypanosoma cruzi isolates from Chile and Colombia and three cloned stocks from Bolivia and Brazil were studied at the karyotype level by hybridization with four different parasite gene probes to chromosomes ...
-
(1970)Immunological properties of a soluble Trypanosoma cruzi antigen were studied by Ouchterlony double-diffusion, immunoelectrophoresis, and fractionation procedures. Immune human serum was used with the antigen, and five ...
-
(ELSEVIER, 2010)Nifurtimox and benznidazole are the only active drugs against Trypanosoma cruzi; however, they have limited efficacy and severe side effects. During primoinfection, T. cruzi infected macrophages mount an antiparasitic ...
-
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2006-05)Nineteen Trypanosoma cruzi. stocks, most of them of wild origin, and four Trypanosoma rangeli stocks from Colombia were analysed by molecular karyotype analysis with cloned DNA cruzipain as the probe. Another 27 cloned ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2018)In this article, we describe the case of a girl who suffers from a phobia to repetitive patterns, known as trypophobia. This condition has not yet been recognised by diagnostic taxonomies such as the Diagnostic and Statistical ...
-
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING LTD, 2005-02)Objective To establish the frequency of the Trp64Arg polymorphism of the beta3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) from a Chilean population, focusing particularly on the interaction ...
-
(SOC CHILENA INFECTOLOGIA, 2008-08)Tuberculosis (TB) is an occupational risk hazard that explains 5 to 5.361 additional cases of TB per 100.000 individuals among healthcare workers (HCW) in relation to general population in developing countries. For each ...
