Genetic Characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi Directly from Tissues of Patients with Chronic Chagas Disease : Differential Distribution of Genetic Types into Diverse Organs
Annamaria Ravara Vago,Luciana O. Andrade,Adriana A. Leite,Débora d'Ávila Reis,Andrea M. Macedo,Sheila Jorge Adad,Sebastiao Tostes,Maria da Consolação Vieira Moreira,Geraldo Brasileiro Filho,Sérgio D.J. Pena +9 more
TL;DR: Success using the LSSP-PCR technique in profiling the T. cruzi parasites present in the hearts of 13 patients with chagasic cardiopathy and in the esophagi of four patients is reported, suggesting that the genetic variability of the parasite is one of the determining factors of the clinical form of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trypanosoma cruzi : Optimization of polymerase chain reaction for detection in human blood
Mônica Lúcia Gomes,Andrea M. Macedo,Annamaria Ravara Vago,Sérgio Danilo Junho Pena,Lúcia Maria da Cunha Galvão,Egler Chiari +5 more
TL;DR: The higher sensitivity of the PCR method observed in both acute and chronic phases of T.cruzi infections in mice and dog, respectively, could be useful in monitoring the course of infection during experimental drug tests in laboratory animals.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a low-stringency single specific primer PCR (LSSP-PCR) was applied to the study of the variable region of kinetoplast DNA minicircles from T cruzi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of MAT, IgM ELISA and PCR methods for the diagnosis of human leptospirosis.
TL;DR: The number of positive cases verified by PCR and IgM ELISA among the 45 unconfirmed cases by MAT, demonstrating the value of PCR in the early diagnosis of human leptospirosis, is demonstrated.
