The 70-kDa heat-shock protein is a major antigenic determinant in human Trypanosoma cruzi/Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis mixed infection
(Immunology Letters, 1991)
Summary.
Five sera from Bolivian individuals chronically infected by Trypanosoma cruzi, and suffering an active Leishmania braziliensis braziliensis metastasic mucocutaneous lesion were characterized. They reacted with ...
Characterization of T cell clones from Chagasic patients : predominance of CD8 surface phenotype in clones from patients with pathology
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1995)
ABSTRACT.
Human Chagas' disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is associated with pathological processes whose mechanisms are not known. To address this question, T cell lines were developed from chronic ...
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 ...
¿Cuáles son los clones de Trypanosoma cruzi que circulan en Bolivia?
([s.n.], 1997-03)
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 ...
Antiprotozoal activity of quinoline alkaloids isolated from Galipea longiflora, a Bolivian plant used as a treatment for cutaneous Leishmaniasis
(PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH, 1994)
Abstract.
The stem bark of Galipea longiflora is used by the Chimane Indians in Bolivia for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis produced by Leishmania braziliensis. Petroleum ether and chloroform extracts of stem, ...
Antileishmanial activity of a tetralone isolated from ampelocera edentula, a Bolivian plant used as a treatment for cutaneous Leishmaniasis
(PLANTA MÉDICA, 1994)
Abstract.
The stem bark of Ampelocera edentula Kuhlm. (Ulmaceae) is used by the Chimanes Indians from Bolivia for the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis caused by the protozoan Leishmania braziliensis. A chloroform ...
In vitro activity and mutagenicity of bisbenzylisoquinolines and quinones against Trypanosoma cruzi Tripomastigotes
(PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH, 1994)
Abstract. The accidental transmission of Chagas' disease by donor blood is recognized as a serious problem in the Latin America. This paper describes the screening of natural products as possible new chemoprophylactic ...
