| contact sensitivity responses in mice infected with trypanosoma cruzi. | mechanisms of depression of contact sensitivity responses in c57bl/10 mice infected with trypanosoma cruzi were studied. cellular involvement during sensitization with oxazolone was investigated in mice acutely infected with t. cruzi. contact sensitivity was not expressed in mice during the latter stages of the acute infection. spleen cells from sensitized, infected mice which were unable to respond to oxazolone could confer contact sensitivity upon normal syngenic mice as effectively as spleen ... | 1978 | 103835 |
| the course of infection of trypanosoma cruzi in gamma-irradiated rats. | the course of infection of both blood and tissues by the sonya strain of trypanosoma cruzi in gamma-irradiated rats has been investigated. the blood infection was dimorphic; slender and broad forms were present throughout, though broad forms predominated at high parasitaemias. both total blood parasitaemia and numbers of slender forms increased progressively in a series of waves with a periodicity of about four days. the rate of increase in the numbers of intracellular parasites corresponded wit ... | 1978 | 104411 |

| hematotropic parasites of translocated raccoons in the southeast. | ninety-four raccoons (procyon lotor) from 6 southeastern states were examined for hematotropic parasites, to evaluate the carrier potential of these animals as they relate to translocation and release for hunting purposes. four species of hematotropic parasites were identified, viz, babesia procyonis, haemobartonella procyoni, hepatozoon procyonis, and trypanosoma cruzi. lesions in infected raccoons were associated only with h procyonis. babesia procyonis was enzootic in populations of raccoons ... | 1978 | 104938 |

| active entry of bloodstream forms of trypanosoma cruzi into macrophages. | the uptake of bloodstream forms of trypanosoma cruzi, y and cl stocks, by mouse peritoneal macrophages and their intracellular differentiation and multiplication has been compared in vitro. after 48 h the number of macrophages showing intracellular amastigote forms was higher when the y stock was used. the number of parasitized cells increased with the time of contact between parasites and macrophages. prior treatment of the parasites with anti-t. cruzi antibodies and/or complement increased the ... | 1979 | 105337 |

| acquired cell-mediated immunodepression in acute chagas' disease. | in this study two groups of patients with acute chagas' disease were identified. group one consisted of five patients with apparent acute chagas' disease. these patients showed symptoms and signals of an acute illness, such as high fever and enlarged spleen. one of these patients developed severe myocarditis and heart failure. group two consisted of seven patients with inapparent acute chagas' disease. this was a nonclinical entity, not perceived by the patient who did not seek medical care. the ... | 1978 | 107195 |

| antibodies against neurons in chronic chagas' disease. | severe qualitative and quantitative alterations of the autonomic system inervating the heart and other organs have been demonstrated in experimental and natural chagas' disease. these facts led us to search for the presence of antibody to neurons in 230 chagasic sera by an indirect immunofluorescence technique. our results indicated that 83% of the chagasic patients presented igg antibodies and 7% igm antibodies to neurons. all control sera were negative. the demonstrated antibody to neurons pre ... | 1998 | 108824 |
| electromyographical findings in human chronic chagas' disease. | an electromyographical investigation of 80 patients with chronic chagas' disease was made. it was found that 79% of the studied patients had emg manifestations of old and chronic denervation of the upper and lower limbs without clinical features of nervous system involvement. | 1978 | 109065 |
| an electrophysiological investigation of skeletal muscle in human chronic chagas' disease. | an electrophysiological study has been made of the thenar, hypothenar, soleus and extensor digitorum brevis muscles and their inervation in 90 patients with chronic chagas' disease. some of them showed a reduced number of functional motor units with increased size of many of the surviving units. no decremental muscle response was found to repetitive nerve stimulation. motor and sensory conduction velocities as well as motor terminal latencies were on the normal range. these findings suggested th ... | 1978 | 109066 |
| gastrointestinal pathology in south america. | non-neoplastic gastrointestinal disease in south america is largely related to environmental conditions. parasitic disorders, including chagas' disease with megacolon, predominate in endemic regions. common enteritides of various etiologie are frequent, whereas appendicits, diverticulosis of the colon, ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease are extremely rare. there was no appendicitis in native indians of paraguay. | 1998 | 109417 |
| suppressor cells present in the spleens of trypanosoma cruzi-infected mice. | infection with trypanosoma cruzi decreases the ability of spleen cells from mice to respond to either t cell, concanavalin a (con a), or b cell, lipopolysaccharide (lps), mitogens. the effect of infection on the mitogenic response depends on the elapsed time between the day of infection and the time of mitogen presentation. responses early in infection are normal, whereas later responses to either mitogen are depressed. spleen cells from late trypanosome-infected mice inhibit the ability of norm ... | 1979 | 109508 |
| chemotherapy with ethidium bromide-dna complex in established chagas' disease. | two different strains of mice (akr and nmri-ivic) were inoculated intraperitoneally with the virulent y strain of trypanosoma cruzi, and then treated with the lysosomotropic ethidium bromide-dna complex, according to several different treatment schedules. when animals were treated 48 hours after intraperitoneal inoculation with three intraperitoneal doses of eb-dna no parasitemia was detected, even after 11 weeks, confirming previous results. however, when infection was allowed to become fully e ... | 1979 | 110160 |
| prevalence of parasitemia and seroreactivity to trypanosoma cruzi in a rural population of northeast brazil. | age-specific prevalence rates of parasitemia and seroreactivity to trypanosoma cruzi were determined in a rural area endemic for chagas' disease in northeast brazil. parasitemia was detected by blood cultures and xenodiagnosis, and serum antibodies to the parasite were measured by the complement fixation (cf) and indirect immunofluorescence (ifa) tests. of the 116 persons examined, 39 (33.7%) had antibodies and 23 (19.8%) had parasitemia. ninety-six percent of parasitemic individuals were seropo ... | 1979 | 110161 |

| enhancement of host resistance against trypanosoma cruzi infection by the immunoregulatory agent muramyl dipeptide. | n-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine (muramyl dipeptide [mdp]) enhanced resistance against trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice. this effect was evidenced by significant reductions in both parasitemias and mortality rates and increased survival time in mdp-treated animals compared with untreated infected mice. mdp effectively augmented host resistance when administered in any one of the following ways: (i) continuous subcutaneous release from an osmotic minipump for a 7-day period starting 2 d ... | 1979 | 113344 |

| antibody-dependent killing of bloodstream forms of trypanosoma cruzi by human peripheral blood leukocytes. | bloodstream forms of trypanosoma cruzi were found to be destroyed by human lymphoid cells, neutrophils, or eosinophils in the presence of specific antibodies. nonspecific immunoglobulins present in normal serum did not mediate the cytotoxic reaction. cells or antibody had no significant lytic effect on the parasite when tested separately and purified, non-activated human adherent cells were inactive antibody was present or not. | 1979 | 116558 |
| use of micro-elisa for quantitating antibody to trypanosoma cruzi and trypanosoma rangeli. | of 229 residents of a panamanian village where both trypanosoma cruzi and trypanosoma rangeli are endemic, 52% had antibody to one or both species by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa), 26% were positive by complement fixation, 17% were positive by direct agglutination, and 32% were positive on the basis of clinical impression. although the sensitivity of elisa makes it the procedure of choice for sero-epidemiologic studies, there does appear to be some serologic cross-reactivity betw ... | 1979 | 116559 |
