This paper develops a qPCR-based tool to detect and quantify Leishmania infantum genotypes with and without a 12 Kb deletion in clinical and cultured samples, finding DEL genotypes are more frequent and widespread.

This study examines how different heme sources affect gene expression in Trypanosoma cruzi, identifying novel heme-responsive genes and proteins.

The paper investigates the genomic organization of tRNA genes in Trypanosoma cruzi, revealing synteny with Trypanosoma brucei and identifying chromatin insulator-like tRNA genes.

The paper presents a telomere-to-telomere assembly of the Trypanosoma cruzi genome, revealing a 32-chromosome karyotype with conserved structures and identifying a tetraploid chromosome 16.

This study investigates how Neospora caninum alters host cell membrane order using LAURDAN fluorescence and hyperspectral imaging, revealing cholesterol redistribution and its impact on membrane fluidity.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze indigenous ancestry in Uruguayans, identifying Amerindian genetic heritage and estimating admixture timing.

The paper sequences maxicircles from T. cruzi strains using long-read sequencing, revealing their architecture, evolutionary relationships, and proposing a new nomenclature.

The paper reevaluates the genomes of Toxoplasma gondii and Neospora caninum, revealing misassembly, chromosomal rearrangements, and new genes, with implications for genome-based comparative biology.

The paper compares repetitive DNA in Tritryps pathogens using low-coverage sequencing and RepeatExplorer, identifying a new transposable element in Leishmania major.

This study uses Nanopore sequencing to improve genome assembly of Trypanosoma cruzi, increasing contiguity and assembly size by ~16 Mb.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to improve genome assembly and annotation of Trypanosoma cruzi, revealing new repetitive sequences and gene structures.
