Identifying morphologically similar triatomine species is key to Chagas' disease vector
control and surveillance, but remains challenging when only qualitative phenotypic data are …

We analyzed the geographic distribution using ecological niche modeling of three species of
triatomines distributed in the Mexican state of Puebla. Punctual records were gathered for a …

Background Triatomine bugs, the vectors of Chagas disease, associate with vertebrate hosts
in highly diverse ecotopes. It has been proposed that occupation of new microhabitats may …

Background Triatoma guasayana is considered an emerging vector of Chagas disease in
the Southern Cone of South America. The presence of a triatomine population with …

Background Among Chagas disease triatomine vectors, the largest genus, Triatoma,
includes species of high public health interest. Triatoma dimidiata, the main vector …

Triatoma brasiliensis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is an important vector of Chagas' disease in
both sylvatic and peridomestic ecotopes. Discriminating between these populations of …

The principal vector of Chagas disease in Central America, Triatoma dimidiata, shows
considerable diversity of habitat, phenotype, and genotype across its geographic range …

Abstract Background The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in semiarid areas of
northeastern Brazil in distinct ecotopes (sylvatic, peridomestic and domestic) where …

Eight Triatoma dimidiata populations from different geographic regions were compared
along with related species using traditional morphometry of head characters. A method for …

In the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, the main vector of Chagas disease is Triatoma
dimidiata. Field studies suggest that natural transmission occurs through transient and …
