Pathogen diversity, immunity, and the fate of infections: lessons learned from Trypanosoma cruzi human-host interactions

Luisa M. D. Magalhaes et al.

Summary: This Review explores the interactions between the highly diverse Trypanosoma cruzi population and the human host, and highlights the importance of this relationship for guiding therapies and vaccines for Chagas disease. The diversity of T cruzi and its impact on the immune response pose significant challenges for treatment and vaccine development.

Discrete typing units of Trypanosoma cruzi: Geographical and biological distribution in the Americas

Natalia Velasquez-Ortiz et al.

Summary: This article presents a systematic review of the literature from the past 20 years to provide an update on the distribution of DTUs for Chagas disease in the Americas and collects ecoepidemiological information. The study found that this disease is widespread throughout the continent and that researchers use a wide range of genetic markers and methods to study the parasite.

Serological Approaches for Trypanosoma cruzi Strain Typing

Virginia Balouz et al.

Summary: The protozoan agent Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas' disease, has a complex population structure with multiple strains exhibiting diverse ecoepidemiological distribution. Serological typing methods using host antibodies against polymorphic parasite antigens are robust, cost-effective, and not limited by biological/methodological constraints. High-throughput immunomics provides an opportunity to enhance T. cruzi serotyping.

Strain-specific genome evolution in Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi establishes life-long infections in humans and other mammals due to the genetic diversity in genes encoding target antigens, which allows the parasite to evade immune responses. This diversity is maintained through processes like gene amplification and recombination, leading to extreme genome flexibility. This poses challenges for developing protective vaccines and contributes to the species-specific biological diversity of T. cruzi.

Assessing Trypanosoma cruzi Parasite Diversity through Comparative Genomics: Implications for Disease Epidemiology and Diagnostics

Alicia Majeau et al.

Summary: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is an important vector-borne neglected tropical disease with diverse genetic strains that may contribute to poor diagnostic performance. Most markers are suitable for estimating parasite diversity at the DTU level, while some are particularly useful for assessing intra-DTU diversity. Antigenic diversity is likely a key factor in the limited diagnostic performance in Central and North America.
