Type | Article | |
Abstract | This article is an integrative mini review of the research on the interactions between Trypanosoma rangeli and
the insect vector, Rhodnius prolixus. Special attention is given to the interactions of these parasites with the gut
environment, gut walls, with hemolymph invasion, hemocytes, hemocyte microaggregations, prophenoloxidaseactivating
system, superoxide, and nitric acid generation and eicosanoid pathways. We described factors affecting
vectorial capacity and suggested that T. rangeli may modulate the hemocoelic invasion and the survival of the
parasites by overcoming the cellular and humoral defense reactions of the insect vector at different physiological
events. The mechanisms of these interactions and their significance for parasite transmission are discussed. | pt_BR |
