Species of flagellated protist
Trypanosoma rangeli is a species of hemoflagellate excavate parasites of the genus Trypanosoma . Although infecting a variety of mammalian species in a wide geographical area in Central and South America, this parasite is considered non-pathogenic to these hosts. T. rangeli is transmitted by bite of infected triatomine bugs of the Reduviidae family, commonly known as barbeiro, winchuka [ 1] (vinchuca) , chinche, pito ou chupão.[ 2]
The genome was published in September 2014.[ 3]
Occurring in sympatry with Trypanosoma cruzi , the etiological agent of Chagas disease , in wide geographical areas in the Americas, T. rangeli shares hosts, vectors and a large amount of its antigenic coat T. cruzi leading to misdiagnosis of Chagas disease.[ 4] [ 5]
