Journal ArticleDOI
Towards a paradigm shift in the treatment of chronic Chagas disease
Rodolfo Viotti,B. Alarcón de Noya,Tania C. Araújo-Jorge,Mario J. Grijalva,Felipe Guhl,Manuel Carlos López,Janine M. Ramsey,I. Ribeiro,Alejandro G. Schijman,Sergio Sosa-Estani,Faustino Torrico,Joaquim Gascon +11 more
TL;DR: Etiological treatment should now be mandatory for all adult chronic Chagas disease patients and the tools needed to monitor therapeutic efficacy and the potential criteria for evaluation of treatment efficacy beyond parasitological cure are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The re-emergence of many vector-borne diseases represents a public health crisis in Venezuela and has the possibility of severely undermining regional disease elimination efforts, and national, regional, and global authorities must take action to address these worsening epidemics and prevent their expansion beyond Venezuelan borders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of polymerase chain reaction to diagnose the fifth reported US case of autochthonous transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, in Tennessee, 1998.
Barbara L. Herwaldt,Mario J. Grijalva,Anthony L. Newsome,Charles R. McGhee,Malcolm R. Powell,Dewey G. Nemec,Francis J. Steurer,Mark L. Eberhard +7 more
TL;DR: The child's case of T. cruzi infection-the fifth reported US autochthonous case-would have been missed without his mother's attentiveness and the availability of sensitive molecular techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex, subdivision, and domestic dispersal of Trypanosoma cruzi lineage I in southern Ecuador.
Sofía Ocaña-Mayorga,Martin S. Llewellyn,Jaime A. Costales,Michael A. Miles,Mario J. Grijalva,Mario J. Grijalva +5 more
TL;DR: These data represent novel population-level evidence of an extant capacity for sex among natural cycles of T. cruzi transmission, and elucidate local disease transmission, whereby passive anthropogenic domestic mammal and triatomine dispersal across the study area is likely to account for the rapid domestic/peridomestic spread of the parasite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling Disease Vector Occurrence when Detection Is Imperfect: Infestation of Amazonian Palm Trees by Triatomine Bugs at Three Spatial Scales
Fernando Abad-Franch,Fernando Abad-Franch,Goncalo N. Ferraz,Goncalo N. Ferraz,Ciro Campos,Francisco S. Palomeque,Francisco S. Palomeque,Mario J. Grijalva,Mario J. Grijalva,H. Marcelo Aguilar,Michael A. Miles +10 more
TL;DR: Individual palm attributes appear as key drivers of infestation, suggesting that CD surveillance must incorporate local-scale knowledge and that peridomestic palm tree management might help lower transmission risk.
