摘要: Background Trypanosoma cruzi is a protist parasite that causes Chagas disease. Several proteins are essential for virulence and involved in host immune responses anchored to the membrane through glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) molecules. In addition, T. GPI anchors have immunostimulatory activities, including ability stimulate synthesis of cytokines by innate cells. Therefore, genes related anchor biosynthesis constitute potential new targets development better therapies against
