CCL11 and Myocardial fibrosis: In addition, both mouse lineages had an increase in the level of CCL11 at 8 dpi, and although there are not many studies addressing the relationship of this chemokine to T. cruzi infection response, it has been described that CCL11 mRNA expression is increased in cardiomyocytes infected with the parasite (Udoko et al., 2016), and this chemokine has been related to myocardial fibrosis (Zweifel et al., 2010).
