“…The search for a vaccine against T. cruzi started in 1912 when it was observed that animals surviving acute infection became resistant to a second infection. [60] Since then, a variety of experimental vaccine candidates have been tested, involving live, killed, or attenuated parasites, recombinant T. cruzi proteins, peptides, and DNA [11,[61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. Both the acute and chronic stages of Chagas disease can be reflected in several experimental animal models, [68][69][70] most examples using the Colombian (TcI) and Y (TcII) strains of T. cruzi [71].…”

“…Previous studies have demonstrated the ability of E6020 alone or formulated together with T cruzi recombinant antigens, including Tc24‐C4 and TSA‐1, in a squalene emulsion to decrease cardiac parasite burdens and increase survival of BALB/c mice with acute T cruzi infection 24,31,32 . Additional studies have confirmed the immunogenicity of T cruzi vaccines formulated with E6020 in Rhesus macaques 41 . However, little is known about the dose‐ranging effect of this TLR‐4 agonist and its ability to confer protection against cardiac damage.…”

“…More recent studies have detected a recall cellular response by Tc24 and TSA1 vaccine antigens in Chagasic patients, indicating that they are processed during natural infection, supporting the potential use of these antigens in humans [ 92 ]. Furthermore, the first evaluation of this vaccine candidate in non-human primates indicated that it is safe, with no hepatic or renal alterations, and immunogenic, with humoral and cellular responses [ 93 ]. Thus, these encouraging results should spur additional studies to expand the work on murine models, and pave the way to clinical trials.…”
