Hematological alterations during experimental canine infection by Trypanosoma cruzi.
To confirm that Beagle dogs are a good experimental model for Chagas disease, we evaluated hematological alterations during the acute and chronic phases in Beagle dogs infected with the Y, Berenice-78 (Be-78) and ABC strains of Trypanosomacruzi, correlating clinical signs with the parasitemia curve. We demonstrate that the acute phase of infection was marked by lethargy and loss of appetite. Si...
متن کاملPrevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection among Bolivian immigrants in the city of São Paulo, Brazil
With the urbanisation of the population in developing countries and the process of globalisation, Chagas has become an emerging disease in the urban areas of endemic and non-endemic countries. In 2006, it was estimated that the prevalence of Chagas disease among the general Bolivian population was 6.8%. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection ...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: a pharmacological comparison of some Bolivian isoenzymic strains.
The drug susceptibility of 3 isoenzymic strains of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied. Two drugs (SQ 18, 506 and Ro 7-1051) and 6 stocks were used. The drug test was carried out on epimastigote cultures. Significant susceptibility differences were found for Ro 7-1051 between the 3 strains. For SQ 18, 506, there were differences between strains 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, but no differences between 1 and 3...
متن کاملExploring the association between Trypanosoma cruzi infection in rural communities and environmental changes in the southern Gran Chaco.
The association between land use and land cover changes between 1979-2004 in a 2.26-million-hectare area south of the Gran Chaco region and Trypanosoma cruzi infection in rural communities was analysed. The extent of cultural land, open and closed forests and shrubland up to 3,000 m around rural communities in the north, northwest and west of the province of Córdoba was estimated using Landsat ...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi infection in Triatoma sordida before and after community-wide residual insecticide spraying in the Argentinean Chaco.
Triatoma sordida is a secondary vector of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Gran Chaco and Cerrado eco-regions where it frequently infests peridomestic and domestic habitats. In a well-defined area of the humid Argentine Chaco, very few T. sordida were found infected when examined by optical microscopic examination (OM). In order to further assess the role of T. sordida and the relative magnitude of sub...
