Article Synopsis
- * This study investigates the immune response and gene expression changes in Chagas patients, finding that early CCC is linked to reduced immune activity, which is different from other types of cardiomyopathy.
- * Understanding these immune changes may create new biomarkers for early CCC progression, potentially aiding in earlier treatment and better outcomes for patients before severe heart damage occurs.
Street dogs survive on food handouts provided by individuals, or the wider community yet typically receive limited to no veterinary care. They can also carry a variety of zoonotic diseases such as rabies, posing a significant risk to human and dog population health. Dog sterilisation is one of the most humane and effective methods available to control street dog populations.

Pregnant women and their children are of particular importance to screen as can be transmitted vertically. The objective of this study was to screen for infection among pregnant women from endemic areas seen at the Hospital General de Mexico for prenatal care, so that they and their children may be quickly connected to CD treatment.
