Absence of experimental cross-protection induced by a Trypanosoma cruzi-like strain isolated from bats Ausência de proteção cruzada experimental induzida por uma cepa Trypanosoma cruzi-like isolada de morcego

This study evaluated the possibility of inoculation and reinoculation with a trypanosomatid isolated from bats that is morphologically, biologically and molecularly similar to Trypanosoma cruzi, to protect against infection by virulent strains.
