| risk of trypanosoma cruzi i (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) transmission by panstrongylus geniculatus (hemiptera: reduviidae) in caracas (metropolitan district) and neighboring states, venezuela. | the collection of panstrongylus geniculatus bugs by inhabitants of dwellings in caracas city (metropolitan district) and in the neighboring miranda and vargas sates, venezuela, allowed for the gathering of data on the potential role of this sylvatic triatomine bug as a vector of chagas disease in this area. the natural infection by trypanosoma cruzi was recorded by examining fresh and stained faeces of the bugs. additionally, a random amplification of polymorphic dna technique for parasite ident ... | 2005 | 16019006 |
| trypanosoma (schizotrypanum) cruzi: histopathology in mice infected with strains isolated from didelphis marsupialis from the valley of caracas (venezuela). | the histopathological alterations produced in nmri strain mice by isolates of trypanosoma cruzi from didelphis marsupialis captured near human dwellings in the valley of caracas, venezuela are described. the donor opossums showed pseudocysts and amastigotes and trypomastigotes only in the heart muscle, and few areas of discrete inflammations and lysis of some muscle cells. mice were parasitized in the heart, skeletal muscle, jejunum, colon, liver, lung, urinary bladder, penis, seminal vesicle, p ... | 1996 | 9460250 |
| urban trypanosoma (schizotrypanum) cruzi: pathology in white mice of isolates from panstrongylus geniculatus. | the histopathological alterations produced in white mice (nmri strain) by isolates of trypanosoma (schizotrypanum) cruzi from panstrongylus geniculatus captured in dwellings of the city of caracas, venezuela are reported. the heart, skeletal muscle, liver, spleen, duodenum, colon, lung, and brain were parasitized by all the isolates. all showed strong myotropism, with elevated virulence and severe histopathological alterations in the cardiac and skeletal muscle, and in the smooth muscle of the d ... | 1989 | 2517002 |
