Insights of antiparasitic activity of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate against different strains of Trypanosoma cruzi

Abstract Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and affects thousands of people. Drugs currently used in therapy are toxic and have therapeutic limitations. In addition, the genetic diversity of T. cruzi represents an important variable and challenge in treatment. Sodium diethyldithiocarbamat...
