Can infection with Trypanosoma cruzi modify the toxicological response of Triatoma infestans susceptible and resistant to deltamethrin?
This study examined for the first time the possible effects of Trypanosoma cruzi infection on susceptibility and resistance to deltamethrin in T. infestans. Using WHO protocol resistance monitoring assays, we exposed resistant and susceptible strains of T. infestans, uninfected and infected with T. cruzi to different concentrations of deltamethrin in fourth-instar nymphs at days 10-20 post-emergence and monitored survival at 24, 48, and 72 hours. Our findings suggest that the infection affected the toxicological susceptibility of the susceptible strain, showing higher mortality than uninfected susceptible insects when expo...

Prevention of congenital Chagas disease by screening of mothers and monitoring of serological tests of neonates: the seven years' experience
This study confirms the usefulness of serological tests and of their index value as follow-up. The difference of positivity rate for CD antibodies between people born before and after 1990 should be further investigated to generate information that potentially improve the prevention and control of CD.PMID:37283633 | PMC:PMC10241396 | DOI:10.53854/liim-3102-13 (Source: Infezioni in Medicina)
