Six polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized using a microsatellite-
enriched genomic library from the Chagas' disease vector Triatoma pseudomaculata. This …

Triatoma carcavalloi is considered a rare Chagas disease vector often collected inside
domiciles in Rio Grande do Sul State. In this Brazilian state, T. carcavalloi has been …

Here we apply inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers to explore the fine-scale
genetic structure and dispersal in populations of Triatoma infestans. Five selected primers …

Triatoma rubrovaria has become the most frequently captured triatomine species after the
control of T. infestans in the State of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brazil. Isoenzymatic and …

Chagas disease is an important endemic morbidity in Latin America affecting millions of

In spite of long-term efforts to eliminate Triatoma infestans (Klug 1834) from Brazil, residual
foci still persist in the states of Bahia and Rio Grande do Sul. Data on the genetic variability …

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

The occurrence of triatomine species, their bloodmeal sources and the discrete typing units
(DTUs) of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from them were determined in different municipalities …

Introduction Chagas disease transmitted by the Triatoma infestans was eradicated from
Brazil in 2006. However, reports of triatomine foci threaten the control of Chagas disease …
