Chaga's disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi protozoan, is one of the most serious parasitic disease in Latin America, affecting approximately 10 million people. The control of infection by mammalian hosts is dependent on effective immune recognition of the parasites by innate immune cells such as macrophages and dendritic cells. These cells express pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) su…
Autophagy is a process of cellular degradation that captures and degrades organelles and intracellular pathogens and delivers them to autolysosomes for destruction. The role of autophagy in Trypanosoma cruzi infection is still largely unknown. During the development of the Ph.D. project, we found that autophagy is induced in response to T. cruzi favoring restriction of parasite replicatio…
