(American Academy of Pediatrics, 2005-06-06)
Objective.Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas’ disease, is transmitted mainly by insect vectors, but congenital and transfusion-borne infections occasionally occur. The factors that are involved in transmission ...
Trypanosoma cruzi infection at the maternal-fetal interface: Implications of parasite load in the congenital transmission and challenges in the diagnosis of infected newborns
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-06-07)
Trypanosoma cruzi is the protozoan unicellular parasite that causes Chagas disease. It can be transmitted from infected mothers to their babies via the connatal route, thus being able to perpetuate even in the absence of ...
Comparative analysis of hepatitis B virus genotype a molecular evolution in patients infected with HBV and in patients co-infected with HBV and HIV
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2012-04)
HIV infection has a significant impact on the natural progression of liver disease caused by infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV), but its role in the molecular evolution of HBV is unknown. It is difficult to study the ...

Murine model of Bacillus cereus gastrointestinal infection
(Society for General Microbiology, 2014-09)
Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming micro-organism responsible for foodborne illness. In this study, we focus on the host response following intragastric challenge with a pathogenic B. cereus strain (B10502) isolated from ...
Rhizobial infection in Adesmia bicolor (Fabaceae) roots
(Springer, 2014-06)
The native legume Adesmia bicolor shows nitrogen fixation efficiency via symbiosis with soil rhizobia. The infection mechanism by means of which rhizobia infect their roots has not been fully elucidated to date. Therefore, ...
