Trypanosoma cruzi amastigote transcriptome analysis reveals heterogenous populations with replicating and dormant parasites
20 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi is a protozoan parasite causing Chagas disease, with a complex life cycle involving different stages in insect vectors and mammalian hosts. Amastigotes are an intracellular form that replicates in the cytoplasm of host cells, and recent studies suggested that dormant forms may be contributing to parasite persistence, suggesting cellular heterogeneity among amastigotes. We investigated here if a...
