Some eukaryotic protozoa such as " Leishmania major " and " Trypanosoma cruzi " lack the RNAi pathway entirely.
12.
The primary wildlife reservoirs for " Trypanosoma cruzi " in the United States include opossums, raccoons, armadillos, squirrels, woodrats, and mice.
13.
Irgm1 null mice were reported to develop pancytopenia following infection with both " Mycobacterium avium " and " Trypanosoma cruzi ".
14.
This species and other " kissing bugs " are vectors of " Trypanosoma cruzi ", the protozoan that causes Chagas disease.
15.
In South American trypanosomiasis ( Chagas disease ), the parasite " Trypanosoma cruzi " forms pseudocysts, particularly within muscular and neurological tissue.
16.
These compounds displayed moderate antiplasmodial ( against " Plasmodium falciparum " ) and trypanocidal ( against " Trypanosoma cruzi " ) activities.
17.
Interestingly, the glyoxalase I found in eukaryotic trypanosomal parasites such as " Leishmania major " and " Trypanosoma cruzi " can also use nickel for activity,
18.
Medical professionals primarily use xenodiagnosis in determining the presence of a chronic infection of " Trypanosoma cruzi " ( the flagellate that causes Chagas disease ).
19.
In 1909, examining the lungs of guinea pigs experimentally infected with " Trypanosoma cruzi ", Carlos Chagas described parasitic forms that linked the pulmonary cycle of the trypanosome.
20.
Glyoxalase I is a target for the development of pharmaceuticals against bacteria, protozoans ( especially " Trypanosoma cruzi " and the " Leishmania " ) and human cancer.
