The relationship of endotoxaemia to peripheral and central nervous system inflammatory responses in Human African Trypanosomiasis.

abstract：:Between December 2007 and March 2009, small mammals were captured in 6 Atlantic Forest patches in Brazil. We assessed tick-host associations and whether they differ among forest strata, sites, seasons, and host age classes or between sexes. Moreover, we assessed the exposure of animals to Rickettsia spp. In total, 432...
