摘要
The basic features of the life cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi have been known for nearly a century. Various aspects of the life cycle, however, have been elucidated only recently, whilst others remain either controversial or unstudied. Here, we present a revised life cycle influenced by recent findings and specific questions that remain unresolved.
