experimental transmission of the parasitic flagellates trypanosoma cruzi and trypanosoma rangeli between triatomine bugs or mice and captive neotropical bats.	trypanosoma cruzi and trypanosoma rangeli-like trypanosomes have been found in a variety of neotropical bat species. in this study, bats (artibeus lituratus, carollia perspicillata, desmodus rotundus, glossophaga soricina, molossus molossus, phyllostomus hastatus) were maintained under controlled conditions, and experiments were conducted to determine how they might become infected naturally with trypanosomes. all bats were first screened for existing infections by hemoculture and the examinatio ...	2007	17710299
phylogenetic analysis of bolivian bat trypanosomes of the subgenus schizotrypanum based on cytochrome b sequence and minicircle analyses.	the aim of this study was to establish the phylogenetic relationships of trypanosomes present in blood samples of bolivian carollia bats. eighteen cloned stocks were isolated from 115 bats belonging to carollia perspicillata (phyllostomidae) from three amazonian areas of the chapare province of bolivia and studied by xenodiagnosis using the vectors rhodnius robustus and triatoma infestans (trypanosoma cruzi marenkellei) or haemoculture (trypanosoma dionisii). the pcr dna amplified was analyzed b ...	2012	22590570
