American trypanosomiasis is a parasitic zoonosis that occurs throughout Latin America. The
etiological agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, is able to infect almost all tissues of its mammalian …

Members of the subfamily Triatominae, family Reduviidae, comprise a large number of
insect species of which some are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of …

Background Due to the absence of transcription initiation regulation of protein coding genes
transcribed by RNA polymerase II, posttranscriptional regulation is responsible for the …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, which is estimated to affect
over eight million people around the world. Trypanosoma cruzi has a complex life cycle …

Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. This
protozoan developed several mechanisms to infect, propagate, and survive in different …

The process of Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclogenesis involves the transformation of
noninfective epimastigotes into metacyclic trypomastigotes, which are the pathogenic form …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on hevein domains and presents an attractive
model to study carbohydrate–protein interactions at atomic resolution. Among the various …

Antigen B (AgB) initially found in hydatid cyst fluid of Echinococcus granulosus is a
polymeric lipoprotein of 160kDa, and is an aggregate of several different but homologous …

We used differential display to select genes differentially expressed during differentiation of
epimastigotes into metacyclic trypomastigotes in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi …

Metacyclogenesis in Trypanosoma cruzi involves the differentiation of replicating non-
infective epimastigotes into non-replicating metacyclic trypomastigotes. This pre-adapts …
