The immunomodulatory effects of the Enalapril in combination with Benznidazole during acute and chronic phases of the experimental infection with Trypanosoma cruzi.
In conclusion, we assume that the CT administrated in the initial stage of infection, presents a minor immunomodulatory effect when the VL-10 strain of T. cruzi is used. In contrast, Bz and Enalapril in monotherapies persist suggesting a potential protection against cardiac damages during experimental T. cruzi infection.
