Impact of migration on the occurrence of new cases of Chagas disease in Buenos Aires city, Argentina
(Open Learning on Enteric Pathogens, 2013-08)
Chagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is endemic in the Americas, especially Central and South America. Chagas disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Most of the infections ...
Chagas and health promotion: Dialogue inspired by the Curitiba Statement
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-23)
With the objective of providing an insightful analysis of Chagas disease in the world, the authors share their collective reflections about the current situation of this public health problem in: rural environments of Latin ...
Molecular Identification of Trypanosma cruzi discrete Typing Units in end-Stage Chronic Chagas Heart Disease and Reactivation after Heart Transplantation
(University of Chicago Press, 2010-09)
One hundred years after the discovery of Chagas disease, it remains a major neglected tropical disease. Chronic Chagas heart disease is the most severe manifestation. Heart trasplantation is the proper treatment for end-stage ...
Presence of antigen-experienced T cells with low grade of differentiation and proliferative potential in chronic Chagas disease myocarditis
(Public Library of Science, 2014-08)
BACKGROUND: The main consequence of chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection is the development of myocarditis in approximately 20-30% of infected individuals but not until 10-20 years after the initial infection. We have ...
First report of a family outbreak of Chagas disease in French Guiana and posttreatment follow-up
(Elsevier, 2014-10-14)
The outbreak of acute Chagas disease due to oral transmission of the parasite is a well-known phenomenon mainly occurring in the Amazon. Such an event is described here for the first time in French Guiana. Eight patients ...
Geospatial tools and chagas control: A critical comment on the paper of Weinberg et al., evaluation and planning of chagas control activities using geospatial tools. geospat health 2019;14:229-238
(University of Naples Federico II, 2020-06-22)
The contribution of the geospatial tools to the vector control activities of Chagas disease is very clear for the academic and technology-prone communities, but not so much for the state-dependent health agents (national ...
Precision Health for Chagas Disease: Integrating Parasite and Host Factors to Predict Outcome of Infection and Response to Therapy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-05)
Chagas disease, caused by the infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is clinically manifested in approximately one-third of infected people by inflammatory heart disease (cardiomyopathy) and, to a minor ...
Influence of Vectors' Risk-Spreading Strategies and Environmental Stochasticity on the Epidemiology and Evolution of Vector-Borne Diseases: The Example of Chagas' Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2013-08)
Insects are known to display strategies that spread the risk of encountering unfavorable conditions, thereby decreasing the extinction probability of genetic lineages in unpredictable environments. To what extent these ...
A highly sensitive rapid diagnostic test for Chagas disease that utilizes a recombinant Trypanosoma cruzi antigen
(Institute Of Electrical And Electronics Engineers, 2011)
Role of hormonal circuitry upon T cell development in Chagas disease: Possible implications on T cell dysfunctions
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2018-06)
T cell response plays an essential role in the host resistance to infection by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. This infection is often associated with multiple manifestations ...
