Trypanosoma rangeli infected mouse sera reactivity with Trypanosoma cruzi synthetic peptides

In man, differential diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli infections represents a serious problem, not only because both parasites present similar geographical distribution, the same hosts and sometimes the same insect vector, but also because they have common antigen determinants....
