Journal ArticleDOI
The identification by isoenzyme patterns of two distinct strain-groups of Trypanosoma cruzi, circulating independently in a rural area of Brazil
TL;DR: It is suggested that the diverse enzyme characters of the two strain-groups circulating in São Felipe reflect diverse origins; the domestic form of T. cruzi probably invaded the area from the south of Brazil with the domestic triatomine vector, Panstrongylus megistus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Further enzymic characters of Trypanosoma cruzi and their evaluation for strain identification.
TL;DR: The composite range of results with all enzymes confirmed the presence of three principal T. cruzi zyModemes, but some enzymic characters overlapped between zymodemes and others suggested subgroups within individual zy modemes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A monoclonal antibody defining antigenic determinants on subpopulations of mammalian neurones and Trypanosoma cruzi parasites.
TL;DR: An IgM λ class monoclonal antibody raised against membranes from rat dorsal root ganglia defines a novel antigenic determinant expressed by subpopulations of mammalian central and peripheral neurones that is cytotoxic to mammalian neurones in vitro.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the role of peroxidase in the defense against H2O2-related free radicals in epimastigotes, and found that the enzyme was not sufficient to defend against free radicals.

Hemocultures for the parasitological diagnosis of human chronic Chagas' disease.
TL;DR: The Xenodiagnosis was performed according to Schenone's method used here as a reference technique and among the various groups of patients examined by both techniques the best results obtained were: 55.08% of positivity for hemocultures against 27.5% for xenodiagnotic.
