Unlocking the in  vitro anti-Trypanosoma cruzi activity of halophyte plants from the southern Portugal

Conclusion Our results suggest that the compounds identified in fraction 8 are likely responsible for the observed anti parasitic activity. Further research is in progress aiming to isolate and identify the specific active molecules. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the in vitro anti T. cruzi activity of halophyte species.
