The Role of Heme and Reactive Oxygen Species in Proliferation and Survival of Trypanosoma cruzi by Marcia Cristina Paes, Daniela Cosentino-Gomes, Cíntia Fernandes de Souza, Natália Pereira de Almeida Nogueira, José Roberto Meyer-Fernandes

“…Within the hosts, T. cruzi has to cope with sudden environmental changes especially in the redox status and heme is able to increase the basal production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can be also produced as byproducts of the parasite aerobic metabolism. In this regard, ROS sensing is likely to be an important mechanism for the adaptation and interaction of these organisms with their hosts. …”
