A systematic review of the diagnostic aspects and use of Trypanosoma rangeli as an immunogen for Trypanosoma cruzi infection

Bayão, Taciana de Souza; Cupertino, Marli do Carmo; Mayers, Nicholas Alfred Joseph; Siqueira-Batista, Rodrigo.
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 53 (), 2020
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Trypanosoma rangeli is a protozoan that infects several domestic and wild mammals and shows significant distribution in Latin American countries. T. rangeli infection is similar to Chagas disease, both in diagnostic and prophylactic terms. Thus, the objective of this work was to r...

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (7), 2017
ABSTRACT Trypanosomatid type I nitroreductases (NTRs), i.e., mitochondrial enzymes that metabolise nitroaromatic pro-drugs, are essential for parasite growth, infection, and survival. Here, a type I NTR of non-virulent protozoan Trypanosoma rangeli is described and compared to those of other trypanosomat...

Behavioral fever response in Rhodnius prolixus (Reduviidae: Triatominae) to intracoelomic inoculation of Trypanosoma cruzi

Hinestroza, Gloria; Ortiz, Mario Iván; Molina, Jorge.
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 49 (4), 2016
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Behavioral fever is a response to infections with microorganisms observed in some poikilothermic animals. Rhodnius prolixus is involved in the transmission of two parasites: Trypanosoma cruzi (pathogenic for humans and transmitted in feces) and Trypanosoma rangeli (non-pathogeni...
