Enfermedad de Chagas
(Salud Boliviana, 1988)
La implementación de un laboratorio de Inmunoparasitología adecuadamente equipado permitió al Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura, iniciar en 1980 estudios sobre la enfermedad de Chagas, con relativo éxito, expresado ...
Comparisons of immunological tests for serodiagnosis of Chagas disease in Bolivian patients
(Tropical and Geographical Medicine, 1985)
Abstract.
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) were evaluated and compared to the classical immunofluorescence (IF) and complement fixation test (CFT) in the immunological diagnosis ...
Arguments génétiques contre l'existence d'une sexualité actuelle chez Trypanosoma Cruzi. Implications taxonomiques.
(C. R. Acad. Sc., 1981)
L'analyse de la variabilité enzymatique pour 3 locus chez 73 isolats boliviens de Trypanosoma cruzi montre I'absence de ségrégation et de recombinaison génétiques. Ces isolats se répartissent en deux groupes génétiquement ...
La cardiopatía chagásica crónica
(E.G., 1999)
En las áreas endémicas de Latinoamérica, la enfermedad de Chagas es un problema importante de salud pública, principalmente por debilitación grave debida a lesiones del corazón. De los 15 a 20 millones de personas que están ...
Impairment of monocytic function during Trypanosoma cruzi infection
(Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, 1994-11)
During acute infection, Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease, causes immunosuppression by mechanisms that are not fully delineated. Since mononuclear phagocytes are major target cells in trypanosomiasis, ...
High correlation between Chagas' disease serology and PCR-based detection of Trypanosoma cruzi kinetoplast DNA in Bolivian children living in an endemic area
(FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1994)
Abstract. The detection of Trypanosoma cruzi kinetoplast DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification is a potentially powerful tool for the parasitological diagnosis of Chagas’ disease. We have applied this technique ...
Genetic variability and microdistribution of Triatoma infestans genotypes and Trypanosoma cruzi clones in Arequipa región (Peru)
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1997)
The genetic variability of Triatoma infestans and Trypanosoma cruzi populations was studied by isoenzyme analysis in two distinct areas of Arequipa province (Peru); one, Santa Rita de Siguas, being an endemic area for ...
Immune response to Trypanosoma cruzi shed acute phase antigen in children from an endemic area for Chagas'disease in Bolivia
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1997)
A field study of the immune response to the shed acute phase antigen (SAPA) of Trypanosoma cruzi was carried out in the locality of Mizque, Cochabamba department, Bolivia. Schoolchildren (266), with an average of 8.6 ± 3.6 ...
Circulation and behaviour of two major clones of Trypanosoma cruzi in Bolivian cycles
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1996-11)
On the basis of isoenzyme studies and population genetic interpretation (Tibayrenc et al. Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA, 83 : 115-119, 1986), we have previously designed a molecular identification tool of two major clones of ...
PCR-based diagnosis for Chagas' disease in Bolivian children living in an active transmission area : comparison with conventional serological and parasitological diagnosis
(Parasitology, 1997)
Abstract.
A large field study has been performed in the Cochabamba region of Bolivia with the aim of comparing the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with other diagnostic methods for Chagas' disease. The amplification of ...
