Abstract excerpt
Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease, and T. rangeli are kinetoplastid parasites endemic to Latin America. Although closely-related to T. cruzi and capable of infecting humans, T. rangeli is non-pathogenic. Both parasite species are transmitted by triatomine bugs, and the presence of T. rangeli constitutes a confounding factor in the study of Chagas prevalence and transmission dynamics. T. cruzi po...
