INTRODUCTION Behavioral fever is a response to infections with microorganisms observed in some poikilothermic animals. Rhodnius prolixus is involved in the transmission of two parasites: Trypanosoma cruzi (pathogenic for humans and transmitted in feces) and Trypanosoma rangeli (non-pathogenic for humans, pathogenic for Rhodnius and transmitted by the bite of an infected individual). Only T. ran...
This paper presents a re-evaluation of the taxonomic position and evolutionary relationships of Trypanosoma (Herpetosoma) rangeli based on the phylogenetic analysis of ssrRNA sequences of 64 Trypanosoma species and comparison of mini-exon sequences. All five isolates of T. rangeli grouped together in a clade containing Trypanosoma (Schizotrypanum) cruzi and a range of closely related trypanosom...
Differential immunodiagnosis of T. rangeli and T. cruzi infections in man poses a particular problem, not only because these parasites share antigenic determinants, as detected by immunofluorescence, but also because they have a similar geographical distribution, the same host range and often identical insect vectors. We show here that whereas mouse anti-T. rangeli sera have significant cross r...
Extracts and tissue culture supernatants of axenic forms of T. rangeli were assayed for the presence of sialidase and trans-sialidase activities. Using sialyl(alpha 2-3)lactose, sialyl(alpha 2-6)lactose, poly(alpha 2-8)N-acetylneuraminic acid, fetuin and 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid as sialic acid donors, and lactose as a sialic acid acceptor, no trans-sialidase activity was det...
Trypanosoma rangeli is an important hemoflagellate parasite of several mammalian species in Central and South America, sharing geographical areas, vectors and reservoirs with T. cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Thus, the occurrence of single and/or mixed infections, including in humans, must be expected and are of great importance for specific diagnosis and epidemiology. In compari...
BACKGROUND Rhodnius prolixus is a blood-sucking bug vector of Trypanosoma cruzi and T. rangeli. T. cruzi is transmitted by vector feces deposited close to the wound produced by insect mouthparts, whereas T. rangeli invades salivary glands and is inoculated into the host skin. Bug saliva contains a set of nitric oxide-binding proteins, called nitrophorins, which deliver NO to host vessels and en...
In this study the effect of eight DNA topoisomerase inhibitors on the growth Trypanosoma rangeli epimastigotes in cell culture was investigated. Among the eight compounds tested, idarubicin was the only compound that displayed promising trypanocidal activity with a half-maximal growth inhibition (GI(50)) value in the sub-micromolar range. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis showed a re...
In experimental murine infections with Trypanosoma rangeli it has been observed development immune response to Trypanosoma cruzi. The aim of the present work was to analyze the result of antigenic stimuli and the protective effect with T. rangeli in T. cruzi infections. Mice groups immunized with metacyclic trypomastigotes of T. rangeli (Choach -2V strain), derived from haemolymph and salivary ...
A Colombian strain of Trypanosoma rangeli was characterized by analyzing its behaviour in different axenic and cellular culture, its infection rate and the histopathological lesions produced in experimental animals. Although slight inflammatory infiltrations were shown in different histopathological sections, no pseudocysts could be observed. Grace's insect medium is better than liver infusion ...
A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of natural infections by trypanosome species in squirrel monkeys: Saimiri sciureus (Linnaeus) and Saimiri ustus (Geoffroy) caught respectively near 2 hydroelectric plants: Balbina, in the State of Amazonas, and Samuel, in the State of Rondônia, Brazil. A total of 165 squirrel monkeys were examined by thick and thin blood smears (BS), haemocultur...
