Virulence factors and immune evasion in Trypanosoma cruzi
(Bentham Sciences PublishersBentham Sciences Publishers, 2017)
Among the pathogens that have developed a variety of strategies to overcome the host immune system, is the causative agent of Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi. During a long co-evolution process, the parasite has learned ...
Is it possible to intervene in the capacity of trypanosoma cruzi to elicit and evade the complement system?
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
Chagas’ disease is a zoonotic parasitic ailment now affecting more than 6 million people,
mainly in Latin America. Its agent, the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is primarily
transmitted by endemic hematophagous triatomine ...

The Interactions of Parasite Calreticulin With Initial Complement Components: Consequences in Immunity and Virulence
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Because of its capacity to increase a physiologic inflammatory response, to stimulate phagocytosis, to promote cell lysis and to enhance pathogen immunogenicity, the complement system is a crucial component of both the ...
Type I and III IFN-mediated antiviral actions counteracted by SARS-CoV-2 proteins and host inherited factors
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
SARS-CoV-2 is a recently identified coronavirus accountable for the current pandemic disease known as COVID-19. Different patterns of disease progression infer a diverse host immune response, with interferon (IFN) being ...
