| an experimental infection of trypanosoma cruzi in striped skunks (mephitis mephitis). | four adult (3 male, 1 female) captive-raised, decented, striped skunks (mephritis mephitis) were infected experimentaly with a field strain (texas-tulane) of trypanosoma cruzi, originally isolated from a naturally-infected dog. two skunks were injected intravenously with approximately 4.5 x 10(6) viable t. cruzi trypomastigotes. two skunks were inoculated per os and per conjunctivum with 10 ml of phosphate buffered saline containing macerated, t. cruzi-infected triatomine intestines and intestin ... | 1980 | 6774112 |
| seroprevalence of trypanosoma cruzi among eleven potential reservoir species from six states across the southern united states. | trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of chagas' disease, is a substantial public health concern in latin america. although rare in humans and domestic animals in the united states, t. cruzi is commonly detected in some wildlife species, most commonly raccoons (procyon lotor) and virginia opossums (didelphis virginiana). to increase our understanding of the reservoir host species range and geographic distribution, 11 species of mammals from six states spanning the known range of t. cruzi (arizo ... | 2010 | 20020815 |
| southern plains woodrats (neotoma micropus) from southern texas are important reservoirs of two genotypes of trypanosoma cruzi and host of a putative novel trypanosoma species. | trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of chagas' disease, is an important public health and veterinary pathogen. although human cases are rare in the united states, infections in wildlife, and in some areas domestic dogs, are common. in 2008 and 2010, we investigated t. cruzi prevalence in possible vertebrate reservoirs in southern texas, with an emphasis on southern plains woodrats (neotoma micropus). infection status was determined using a combination of culture isolation, polymerase chain re ... | 2013 | 23127189 |
| prevalence of trypanosoma cruzi infection in dogs and small mammals in nuevo león, mexico. | chagas disease, caused by the protozoan trypanosoma cruzi, is an important public health concern in areas extending from south america northward into the southern united states of america. although this hemoflagellate has many wild and domestic mammalians reported as reservoir hosts, studies on this subject are scarce in nuevo león state, a region located in northeastern mexico. this cross-sectional study showed that the general prevalence of t. cruzi infection in nuevo león state was 14.5% (35/ ... | 2017 | 28705488 |
