Abstract
Trypanosomes found in mammals (including humans) are blood and sometimes
tissue parasites of the order Kinetoplastida, family of the Trypanosomatidae,
genus Trypanosoma.Theyare principally transmitted by biting insects, in which
most of them undergo a biological cycle. They are grouped into 2 sections:
Stercoraria, which develops in the posterior part of the insect digestive tract,
including Trypanosomacruzi,which is both an extra- and intracellular parasite
that is responsible for Chagas disease, a major human disease affecting 15
million people and threatening 100 million people in Latin America (Coura and
Borges, 2010).The other is Salivaria which develops in the anteriorpart of the
insect digestive tract, such as the main African pathogenic livestock
trypanosomes, including the agents of sleeping sickness. This is a major human
disease affecting around half a million people and threatening 60 million people
in Africa (Rodgers, 2009).
