Chagas disease is a chronic, systemic, parasitic infection caused by the protozoan
Trypanosoma cruzi, and was discovered in 1909. The disease affects about 8 million people …

The genetic diversity of Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan agent of Chagas disease, is
widely recognized. At present, T. cruzi is partitioned into seven discrete ty** units (DTUs) …

Chagas disease (CD) is a parasitic, systemic, chronic, and often fatal illness caused by
infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The World Health Organization classifies …

Over the last 30 years, concomitant with successful transnational disease control programs
across Latin America, Chagas disease has expanded from a neglected, endemic parasitic …

The surface of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is covered in mucins, which
contribute to parasite protection and to the establishment of a persistent infection. Their …

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, has at least two principal
intraspecific subdivisions, T. cruzi I (TCI) and T. cruzi II (TCII), the latter containing up to five …

Genetic variation in Trypanosoma cruzi is likely a key determinant in transmission and
pathogenesis of Chagas disease. We have examined nine loci as markers for the extant T …

Chagas disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi affects millions of people.
Although its first genome dates from 2005, its complexity hindered a complete assembly and …

Chagas disease, caused by the infection with T rypanosoma cruzi, is endemic in all L atin A
merica. Due to the increase in population migration, C hagas disease has spread worldwide …

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a lifelong and debilitating
illness of major significance throughout Latin America and an emergent threat to global …
