Description

Chagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a chronic parasitic disease caused by the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi that affects about 8 million people around the world where more than 25 million are at risk of contracting the infection. Despite of being endemic on 21 Latin-American countries, Chagas disease has become a global concern due to migratory movements. Unfortunately, available drugs for the treatment have several limitations and they are generally administered during the chronic phase of the infection, when its efficacy is considered controversial. Thus, prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccines are emerging as interesting control alternatives. In this work, we proposed Trypanosoma cruzi 80 kDa prolyl oligopeptidase (Tc80) as a new antigen for vaccine development against Chagas disease.

Translated Description (Arabic)

مرض شاغاس، المعروف أيضًا باسم داء المثقبيات الأمريكي، هو مرض طفيلي مزمن يسببه البروتوزوان المثقبي الكروزي الذي يصيب حوالي 8 ملايين شخص حول العالم حيث يتعرض أكثر من 25 مليون شخص لخطر الإصابة بالعدوى. على الرغم من توطن مرض شاغاس في 21 دولة في أمريكا اللاتينية، إلا أنه أصبح مصدر قلق عالمي بسبب حركات الهجرة. لسوء الحظ، فإن الأدوية المتاحة للعلاج لها العديد من القيود ويتم إعطاؤها بشكل عام خلال المرحلة المزمنة من العدوى، عندما تعتبر فعاليتها مثيرة للجدل. وبالتالي، تظهر اللقاحات الوقائية و/أو العلاجية كبدائل مراقبة مثيرة للاهتمام. في هذا العمل، اقترحنا تريبانوسوما كروزي 80 كيلو دالتون بروليل أوليجوبتيداز (Tc80) كمستضد جديد لتطوير لقاح ضد مرض شاغاس.
