Caracterización molecular de aislados de Trypanosoma cruzi de triatominos recolectados en los municipios del Estado de Hidalgo, México

Abstract: Introducción: Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), esta clasificado en seis linajes mediante marcadores moleculares de tipificación, que son fácilmente amplificados por técnicas de biología molecular. El objetivo del trabajo fue identificar y ubicar geográficamente a los aislados de T. cruzi que infectan naturalmente a los triatominas de los municipios del Estado de Hidalgo a través de la técnica de PCR, que amplifica fragmentos de la región intergénica del gen mini-exón.  Método: Se recolectaron 170 muestras… Show more

“…A limitation of the current study is that we were unable to confirm the sensitivity of parasite detection performed by microscopy versus molecular testing, and the true infection prevalence of the four principal domestic triatomines of Oaxaca may be greater than what we report. Perez-España et al (2019) [28] estimated an overall infectivity rate of 1.76% from 170 Triatoma spp. (T. dimidiata, T. mexicana, and T. gerstaeckeri) when examined using traditional microscopy, but the rate was 11.17% using PCR.…”

“…The abdominal compression of live insects was applied to collect feces on glass slides [27]. The feces were diluted with 50 µL of PBS solution, pH 7.0, and parasites were observed at 40× through an optical microscope (Olympus CH2, Tokyo, Japan) [28,29]. As shown in Table 1, 31.9% of the triatomines processed did not yield feces, so the parasite detection was not able to be performed.…”

“…Lo anterior se debe a que estas técnicas cuentan con una alta sensibilidad y especificidad (en ambos casos > 97%). Además, pueden detectar el material genético de un solo organismo por cada µl de muestra (INDRE, 2019a, b;Passos et al, 1997;Pérez-España et al, 2019;Viettri et al, 2022).…”
