High prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in shelter dogs from southern Louisiana, USA
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. The role of dogs as sentinels has been proposed in multiple regions, as they are a domestic reservoir for T. cruzi. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of T. cruzi infection in shelter dogs...
