Bottlenecks in domestic animal populations can facilitate the emergence of Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of Chagas disease
(Royal Society Publishing, 2015)
Faeces-mediated transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (the aetiological agent of Chagas disease) by triatomine insects is extremely inefficient. Still, the parasite emerges frequently, and has infected millions of people and ...
Prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi and Other Trypanosomatids in Frequently-Hunted Wild Mammals from the Peruvian Amazon
(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017)
To better understand the ecology of Trypanosoma cruzi in the northeastern Peruvian Amazon, we evaluated the prevalence of T. cruzi and other trypanosomatids in four orders of wild mammals hunted and consumed by inhabitants ...
Philosophy of veterinary parasitology
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
“Philosophy of science without history of science is empty; history of science without philosophy of science is blind.” (Lakatos, 1999: 102). Although this reformulation of Kant’s famous phrase may seem extreme, there is ...
Spatial relationship between Taenia solium tapeworm carriers and necropsy cyst burden in pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Taenia solium, a parasite that affects humans and pigs, is the leading cause of preventable epilepsy in the developing world. Geographic hotspots of pigs testing positive for serologic markers of T. solium ...
New insights in cysticercosis transmission
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Taenia solium infection causes severe neurological disease in humans. Even though infection and exposure to swine cysticercosis is scattered throughout endemic villages, location of the tapeworm only explains some of the ...
Observações sobre parasitologia humana e veterinária em Mato GrossoObservations on human and veterinary parasitology in Mato-Grosso State
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2021)
Sarcocystis masoni, n sp (Apicomplexa: Sarcocystidae), and redescription of Sarcocystis aucheniae from llama (Lama glama), guanaco (Lama guanicoe) and alpaca (Vicugna pacos)
(Cambridge University Press, 2016)
There is considerable confusion concerning the species of Sarcocystis in South American camelids (SAC). Several species names have been used; however, proper descriptions are lacking. In the present paper, we redescribe ...
The potential of canine sentinels for reemerging Trypanosoma cruzi transmission
(Elsevier, 2015)
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease, a vector-borne disease transmitted by triatomine bugs and caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, affects millions of people in the Americas. In Arequipa, Peru, indoor residual insecticide ...
Genetic variability of Taenia solium cysticerci recovered from experimentally infected pigs and from naturally infected pigs using microsatellite markers
(Public Library of Science, 2017)
The adult Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, usually lives as a single worm in the small intestine of humans, its only known definitive host. Mechanisms of genetic variation in T. solium are poorly understood. Using three ...
Evaluation of abortions spontaneously induced by Neospora caninum and risk factors in dairy cattle from Lima, Peru.
(Colégio Brasileiro de Parasitologia Veterinaria, 2019)
Our objective was to identify the direct and indirect presence of Neospora caninum in dairy cattle and their aborted fetuses from Lima, Peru. A total 219 blood samples obtained from dairy cattle with records of spontaneous ...
