| dc.description.abstract | Our work suggests that it is possible to detect Trypanosoma cruzi infection directly from a noninvasively collected fluid such as urine. A direct test in urine with this success rate would be well suited for rapid diagnosis in low-resource areas. Further studies to validate this approach are warranted. | |
