| american tripanosomiasis: a study on the prevalence of trypanosoma cruzi and trypanosoma cruzi-like organisms in wild rodents in san luis province, argentina. | chagas disease is caused by trypanosoma cruzi. wild and perianthropic mammals maintain the infection/transmission cycle, both in their natural habitat and in the peridomestic area. the aim of this paper was to present the results from a study on wild rodents in the central and northern regions of san luis province, argentina, in order to evaluate the prevalence of this infection. | 2010 | 20563490 |
| [contribution to knowledge of reservoirs of trypanosoma cruzi (chagas, 1909) in corrientes province, argentina]. | in order to identify trypanosoma cruzi reservoirs in transmission areas, 60 mammals in capital and san luis del palmar departments, corrientes, argentina were studied. primates, rodents, carnivores, marsupials and edentates were investigated, 40 of them living in captivity and 20 caught with traps in a rural area. the mammals were examined by xenodiagnosis and third or fourth instars nymphs of triatoma infestans starved for 2 weeks were used. the feces were microscopically observed (400x) for tr ... | 1999 | 10380566 |
| [triatoma infestation in the san luis del palmar department of corrientes province, argentina]. | the purpose of this study was to determine domestic and peridomestic infestation of triatominae, trypanosoma cruzi infection rates, and the prevalence of human seroreactivity in rural areas of the department of san luis del palmar, corrientes, argentina (fig. 1). the study took place from april 1986 to may 1989. the department of san luis del palmar covers an area of 2551 km2 and is part of the neotropical biogeographic region, chacoan dominion and province. the climate is of the subhumid type. ... | 1992 | 1342684 |
| [evaluation of an elisa technique for detection of antigens and circulating immune complexes of trypanosoma cruzi by a field study in an endemic zone of argentina]. | the elisa technique for detection of t. cruzi circulating antigens (cag) and immune complexes (cic) in the sera of chronic chagasic patients was field-tested in a well-known endemic area of argentina (san luis province). of 215 individuals screened, 51 were positive for elisa-cic and 45 for elisa-cag. seventy four subjects were considered por t. cruzi-infected, as they showed serologic reactivity at least by two different techniques. in this group, 49 (66.21%) were elisa-cic positive, whereas in ... | 1992 | 1340028 |
