Triatoma sordida is among the main Brazilian species considered as Chagas disease
vectors. The genetic studies are directed mainly to phylogenetic questions because this …

Several palms species provide an important habitat for triatomines and associate
vertebrates in tropical America. The objective of this work is to identify the triatomine species …

The Triatoma brasiliensis genetic structure was analyzed using the Cyt B gene in different
geographic locations and ecotopes after a short and long period after insecticide treatment …

Background DNA barcoding assumes that a biological entity is completely separated from its
closest relatives by a barcoding gap, which means that intraspecific genetic distance (from …

Triatoma venosa presents a restricted geographical distribution in America and is
considered as a secondary vector of Chagas disease in Colombia and Ecuador. A total of …

Chagas disease, whose etiological agent is the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, affects
millions of people worldwide and it is mainly transmitted by infected triatomine feces …

Triatoma sordida is an endemic Chagas disease vector in South America, distributed in
Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Chromosomal, molecular, isoenzymatic, and …

Eight natural Bolivian populations of two closely related species of Triatominae,
Triatomasordida and T. guasayana, were analysed by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis at …

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to study intraspecific variation in Triatoma costalimai, a
potential vector of Chagas disease present in Brazil and Bolivia. METHODS: We analyzed …

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