Biology of Trypanosoma cruzi
Taking into consideration the importance of and interest in T. cruzi and Chagas disease, this book is organized in four sections. Section 1 deals with the basic aspects of the protozoan biology with an overview of the lifecycle of the parasite in invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, as well as the various developmental states of T. cruzi maintained in the laboratory. Available information on the reservoir host of T. cruzi in the Amazon rainforest is also discussed. Section 2 deals with basic biochemical data on the parasite, including proteomic and genomic data presently available for various T. cruzi developmental stages. Section 3 deals with the interaction of the parasite with the host, covering topics such as entry of the parasite into host cells and mechanisms involved in evasion of the immune response. Section 4 comprises data on experimental chemotherapy.
