Small Heat Shock Proteins have a Paramount Role in <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> Infection Impacting Intestinal Homeostasis of an insect vector of Chagas Disease
2026-01-07
Abstract excerpt
Rhodnius prolixus , an insect vector of Chagas disease, ingests blood meals several-fold its own body weight. This nutritional overload triggers specific adaptive responses that prevent or remediate damage from multiple stressors, including oxidative, osmotic, and microbial challenges.
