	Trypanosoma - MicrobeWiki
		Trypanosoma cruzi cells differ from their African relatives (Trypanosoma brucei) in that no replication occurs in the bloodstream; rather, the cells are only able to replicate after another cell has been penetrated.
		Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi are parasites--therefore the ecology of their vector and host is the ecology of the species itself.
		Trypanosoma cruzi is found in many countries in the Americas, and is carried by insects to animals and human in much the same way as its African counterpart, although rather than the tsetse fly, the vecters are bedbugs or "assassin" flies.

	TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI: TAXONOMY, MORPHOLOGY AND LIFE CYCLE
		Trypanosoma cruzi is a flagellate of the Kinetoplastida Order, Family Trypanosomatidae, characterized by the presence of one flagellum and a single mitochondrion in which is situated the Kinetoplast, a specialized DNA-containing organelle.
		T. cruzi is not a homogeneous population and is composed rather by a pool of strains which circulate in both the domestic and sylvatic cycles involving humans, vectors and animal reservoirs of the parasite.
		The T. cruzi flagellum is connected to the basal body and emerges from a specialized invagination, the flagellar pocket which is apparently involved in the ingestion and uptake of nutrients of the external medium.

	Trypanosoma cruzi. ChagaSpace Group
		Its scientific name is Trypanosoma cruzi, and it is related to another microorganism that in Africa provokes the "sleeping sickness" transmitted by a fly called "Tse-Tse".
		The T. cruzi is very small (around 20 thousandths of an millimeter) and has a very long body with a flagellum and a wavy membrane.
		Those forms are called differently depending on their general look, the way the flagellum emerges from the cell body and the position of 2 very important intracellular structures: nucleus and the motion organ.
