Endocytic Rabs Are Recruited to the Trypanosoma cruzi Parasitophorous Vacuole and Contribute to the Process of Infection in Non-professional Phagocytic Cells
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-10)
Trypanosoma cruzi is the parasite causative of Chagas disease, a highly disseminated illness endemic in Latin-American countries. T. cruzi has a complex life cycle that involves mammalian hosts and insect vectors both of ...
Participation of Tryptophan in the infection of human placental explants by Trypanosoma cruzi
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2014)
Trans-sialidase and mucins of Trypanosoma cruzi: An important interplay for the parasite
(Elsevier, 2011-09)
A dense glycocalix covers the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease. Sialic acid in the surface of the parasite plays an important role in the infectious process, however, T. cruzi is unable to synthesize ...
CpG DNA as a Th1-promoting adjuvant in immunization against Trypanosoma cruzi
(Elsevier, 2000-09)
Th1-type immune response plays a critical role in resistance to Trypanosoma cruzi infection. We asked whether a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide that contains immunostimulatory CpG motifs (CpG ODN), known to promote a Th1 ...
Infestation of Mauritia flexuosa palms by triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli in the Brazilian savanna
(Elsevier Science, 2012-02)
To determine the infestation and trypanosome infection of triatomines captured in Mauritia flexuosa palm trees across its geographic distribution in the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado), we sampled 42 localities in eight states ...
2-alkylaminoethyl-1,1-bisphosphonic acids are potent inhibitors of the enzymatic activity of Trypanosoma cruzi squalene synthase
(American Society for Microbiology, 2012-08)
As part of our efforts aimed at searching for new antiparasitic agents, the effect of representative 2-alkylaminoethyl-1,1-bisphosphonic acids on Trypanosoma cruzi squalene synthase (TcSQS) was investigated. These compounds ...
