| molecular characterization of trypanosomatid infections in wild howler monkeys (alouatta caraya) in northeastern argentina. | the transmission of trypanosoma cruzi by vectors is confined to the americas, and the infection circulates in at least two broadly defined transmission cycles occurring in domestic and sylvatic habitats. this study sought to detect and characterize infection by t. cruzi and other trypanosomes using pcr strategies in blood samples from free-ranging howler monkeys, alouatta caraya, in the northeastern argentina. blood samples were collected at four sites with variable levels of habitat modificatio ... | 2016 | 27617205 |
| molecular identification of trypanosomatids in wild animals. | diverse wild animal species can be reservoirs of zoonotic flagellate parasites, which can cause pathologic chagas disease. the present study aimed to detect the natural occurrence of flagellate parasites through direct microscopic examination of the parasites in blood samples and through pcr of whole blood and blood culture (haemoculture) samples from 38 captive and 65 free-living wild animals in the centre for conservation of wild fauna (ccwf), an area endemic for leishmaniasis. for this study, ... | 2014 | 24636787 |
