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 کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: immunoglobulin isotype profiles during the acute phase of canine experimental infection with metacyclic or blood trypomastigotes.
A detailed investigation has been carried out about the serological profiles of groups of dogs experimentally infected with metacyclic (MT) or blood (BT) trypomastigotes of Berenice-78 Trypanosoma cruzi strain. Peripheral blood was collected from infected dogs and uninfected controls, weekly during 35 days following the acute phase of infection, and immunoglobulin profiles were determined by EL...
متن کاملEtiological treatment for infection by Trypanosoma cruzi.
In treating infectious or parasitic diseases it is very important to be able to count on efficient medicines in order to fight the cause. In terms of infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, the Chagas disease, this is no different. Nevertheless, since the discovery of this disease ninety years ago this important objective has not been completely reached regardless of research done which although...

متن کاملCysteine Protease Inhibitors Cure an Experimental Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas' disease. The major protease, cruzain, is a target for the development of new chemotherapy. We report the first successful treatment of an animal model of Chagas' disease with inhibitors designed to inactivate cruzain. Treatment with fluoromethyl ketone-derivatized pseudopeptides rescued mice from lethal infection. The optimal pseudopeptide sca...
