Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular epidemiology of American trypanosomiasis in Brazil based on dimorphisms of rRNA and mini-exon gene sequences.

TL;DR: Molecular typing of human parasite isolates from three well-characterised endemic regions of Chagas disease and from Amazonas State, where T. cruzi is enzootic, suggests that in some endemic areas in Brazil there is a preferential linkage between both cycles mediated by lineage-1 stocks.
Journal ArticleDOI

The coati (Nasua nasua, Carnivora, Procyonidae) as a reservoir host for the main lineages of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Pantanal region, Brazil

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the T. cruzi transmission cycle among coatis in the southern Pantanal seems to be well established, as high serum prevalences and high parasitemias throughout the two studied periods, and give support that predator-prey links are important mechanisms for T.cruzi transmission and perpetuation in the wild.
Journal ArticleDOI

Food web connections and the transmission cycles of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma evansi (Kinetoplastida, Trypanosomatidae) in the Pantanal Region, Brazil

TL;DR: It is proposed that transmission of T. cruzi and T. evansi in the southern Pantanal region takes place via an intricate ecological trophic network involving generalist and specialist mammal species that are linked through a robust food-web connection.
