Flagellar elongation induced by glucose limitation is preadaptive for Trypanosoma cruzi differentiation.
Trypanosomes must sense and respond to environmental change in order to progress through their life cycles. The American trypanosome, Trypanosoma cruzi, differentiates from the noninfective epimastigote form to the infective metacyclic form spontaneously in axenic culture. Here, we investigate the initial stimulus for that change and demonstrate that T. cruzi epimastigotes sense limitation of g...
متن کاملFlagellar Motility of Trypanosoma cruzi Epimastigotes
The hemoflagellate Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis. Despite the importance of motility in the parasite life cycle, little is known about T. cruzi motility, and there is no quantitative description of its flagellar beating. Using video microscopy and quantitative vectorial analysis of epimastigote trajectories, we find a forward parasite motility defined by t...

Higher plants are a potential source of new drugs to improve the treatment of Chagase disease, which is affecting 16-18 million people, with more than 100 million exposed to the risk of infection (Ambrozin et al., 2004; Coura & Castro, 2002). Current therapy is unsatisfactory, because the only two drugs available, benznidazole and nifortimox possess severe side effects and their activity is lim...

Trypanosoma cruzi, a hemoflagellate protozoan (family Trypanosomatidae), is the ethiological agent of Chagas disease, which is affecting 16-18 million people, with more than 100 million exposed to the risk of infection. Higher plants are a potential source of new drugs to improve the treatment of Chagase disease. Until recently, Rutacea, Meliaceae, Simaroubaceae and Burceraceae families have be...
