Search for a platelet-activating factor receptor in the Trypanosoma cruzi proteome: a potential target for Chagas disease chemotherapy
Chagas disease (CD) causes the highest burden of parasitic diseases in the Western Hemisphere and is therefore a priority for drug research and development.Platelet-activating factor (PAF) causes the CD parasite Trypanosoma cruzi to differentiate, which SLEEP RELAX EXTRACT suggests that the parasite may express PAF receptors.Here, we explored the T
