Monitoring Trypanosoma cruzi infection in triatomines using PCR in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.
INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to assess the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as a method for detecting Trypanosoma cruzi infection in triatomines that had been previously determined by microscopic examination in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. METHODS In total, 515 specimens were collected. Material from the digestive tract of each triatomine was analyzed for the prese...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi circulating in mammals and triatomines collected in urban areas, in French Guiana
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease is a parasitic protozoan endemic to Latin America. This parasite is highly diverse, with several divergent and discrete major genotypes reported: TcI to TcVI. In this study, we report genetic diversity of T. cruzi circulating in mammals and triatomines (85 samples) collected in Cayenne and its surroundings , after amplification of the m...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi infection in Triatoma infestans and other triatomines: long-term effects of a control program in rural northwestern Argentina.
The prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Triatoma infestans, Triatoma guasayana, and Triatoma sordida was evaluated in Amamá and other neighboring rural villages in northwestern Argentina for five years after massive spraying with deltamethrin in 1992 and selective sprays thereafter. Local residents and expert staff collected triatomines in domiciliary and peridomestic sites. During 199...
متن کاملFrequent House Invasion of Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected Triatomines in a Suburban Area of Brazil
BACKGROUND The demographic transition of populations from rural areas to large urban centers often results in a disordered occupation of forest remnants and increased economic pressure to develop high-income buildings in these areas. Ecological and socioeconomic factors associated with these urban transitions create conditions for the potential transmission of infectious diseases, which was dem...
متن کاملTrypanosoma cruzi: correlations of biological aspects of the life cycle in mice and triatomines.
The infection pattern in Swiss mice and Triatomine bugs (Rhodnius neglectus) of eleven clones and the original stock of a Trypanosoma cruzi isolate, derived from a naturally infected Didelphis marsupialis, were biochemically and biologically characterized. The clones and the original isolate were in the same zymodeme (Z1) except that two clones were found to be in zymodeme 2 when tested with G6...
