Influence of parasite load on renal function in mice acutely infected with Trypanosoma cruzi.
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. Despite the vast number of studies evaluating the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease, the influence of parasite burden on kidney lesions remains unclear. Thus, the main goal of this work was to evaluate...
