Grant awarded for Chagas work in non-human primates

May 9, 2018 by Carolyn Hodo

Very excited that we were awarded a $30,000 grant from the American College of Lab Animal Medicine (ACLAM) Foundation to study transmission ecology of Trypanosoma cruzi among non-human primates in a research and breeding facility in Central Texas. We in the Hamer lab have been collaborating with researchers at this facility for a few years (see recent NHP pub), and are happy to receive some dedicated funding for this research! This project will track parasitemia and infectivity to vectors (xenodiagnosis) in a cohort of naturally infected macaques over a year, as well as look for evidence of vertical and direct horizontal transmission among monkeys using housing records and banked serum samples.
