38 results about "Trypanosoma cruzi" patented technology

Trypanosoma cruzi is a species of parasitic euglenoids. Amongst the protozoa, the trypanosomes characteristically bore tissue in another organism and feed on blood (primarily) and also lymph. This behaviour causes disease or the likelihood of disease that varies with the organism: for example, trypanosomiasis in humans (Chagas disease in South America), dourine and surra in horses, and a brucellosis-like disease in cattle. Parasites need a host body and the haematophagous insect triatomine (descriptions "assassin bug", "cone-nose bug", and "kissing bug") is the major vector in accord with a mechanism of infection. The triatomine likes the nests of vertebrate animals for shelter, where it bites and sucks blood for food. Individual triatomines infected with protozoa from other contact with animals transmit trypanosomes when the triatomine deposits its faeces on the host's skin surface and then bites. Penetration of the infected faeces is further facilitated by the scratching of the bite area by the human or animal host.

Geldanamycin derivatives and method of use thereof

The present invention relates to novel geldanamycin derivatives which have antitumor and antiparasitic properties. The geldanamycin derivatives disclosed herein have antitumor properties in humans due to their interaction with human heat shock protein 90 (hsp90). The human parasites Plasmodium falciparum, Trypanosoma Cruzi, and Leishmania donovani are lethally susceptible to exposure to geldanamycin via complexation of geldanamycin with their homologs (Pfhsp90, hsp83, and hsp90, respectively) of the human hsp90. The geldanamycin derivatives disclosed herein also interact with these parasitic hsp90 homologs so as to have antiparasitic properties.

Mucin-associated surface protein as vaccine against Chagas disease

Use of synthetic peptides derived from Trypanosoma cruzi antigens and their use in vaccination against trypomastigote infection and Chagas disease. T. cruzi uses several surface proteins to invade the host. In their role of protection, the surface protients ensure the targeting and invasion of specific cells or tissues. A conserved region in the family of mucin-associated surface proteins (MASP) was used to analyze the expression of MASP at different points of invasion and proved to be important for host cell invasion, thus suggesting MASP as a candidate for vaccine development. A synthetic peptide, MASPsyn, was studied and showed efficacy in stimulating antibody and cytokine production necessary for resistance against the parasite.

Methods for delaying and / or preventing the binding of parasites to host cells (especially mammalian host cells) are provided. The methods delay or prevent infection of host cells and the development of disease symptoms. The methods delay or prevent the parasites from locating and binding to host cells, thereby reducing the infectivity of the parasite, and allow for adjuvant drug therapy to have a longer treatment time period before infection sets in. The methods involve modifying the charge field sensed by the parasite in the vicinity of potential host cells. Such modifications may be made by exposing the parasite and / or the host cell to charge-altering agents such as charged nanoparticles.
