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 ... -
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 ... -
Leishmaniasis visceral y tegumentaria en niños de dos zonas endémicas de Bolivia
(Parasitología al día, 1992)Abstract. Clinical histories of 1570 patients were reviewed at the Parasitology service at the I.B.B.A. (Bolivia). between 1982 to 1988. Among 74 children younger than 12 years there were: 70 with cutaneous and mucocutaneous ... -
Sylvatic triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Bolivia : trends toward domesticity and possibleinfection with Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae)
(Journal of Medical Entomology, 1995)ABSTRACT The risk of domestic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas) by sylvatic triatomines was assessed in an isolated area of the subandean region of Bolivia. None of the 390 residents examined had serological ... -
Trypanosoma cruzi : study of the distribution of two widespread clonal genetypes in Bolivian Triatoma infestans vectors shows a high frequency of mixed infestions
(Experimental Parasitology, 1996)Abstract. The detection of two widespread Trypanosoma cruzi clonal genotypes (20 and 39) in feces of Bolivian specimens of the vector Triatoma infestans was performed by a combination of polymerase chain reaction and ...
