Abstract: The identification of bloodmeal sources in triatomine bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is important in understanding vector–host associations and in measuring the risk for Chagas' disease transmission. The bloodmeal sources of triatomines infected with Trypanosoma cruzi (Trypanosomatida:… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.01958
Abstract: Background: In contrast to adults, Trypanosoma cruzi-infected children have more broadly functional Trypanosoma cruzi-specific T cells, and the total T-cell compartment exhibits fewer signs of immune exhaustion. However, not much is known about the link… read more here.
