## Abstract To investigate the effects of __Trypanosoma cruzi__ on the mechanical properties of infected host cells, cytoskeletal stiffness and remodeling dynamics were measured in parasite‐infected fibroblasts. We find that cell stiffness decreases in a time‐dependent fashion in __T. cruzi__‐infec
