Background: In rural areas of Espírito Santo state, southeast Brazil, triatomine species
attracted by light frequently invade residences. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the etiological agent of Chagas disease, a neglected tropical infection
with great public health importance. This protozoan has triatomine insects as vector but may …

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 This work presents the initial findings of a molecular epidemiological
investigation of Trypanosoma cruzi in triatomine insects in State of Mato Grosso do Sul …

Background Knowledge of triatomine food sources in different ecotopes enables the
estimation of T. cruzi transmission risk in diverse environments, as well as its dynamics of …

Trypanosoma cruzi genetic diversity was investigated in 25 isolates (vectors and humans)
from the semiarid zone of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Molecular markers (3 …

Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasitic protozoan responsible for Chagas disease. Seven different
Discrete Typing Units (DTUs) of T. cruzi are currently identified in nature: TcI− TcVI, and …

Background: In the Amazon region, several species of triatomines occur in the natural
environments. Among them, species of the genus Rhodnius are a risk to human populations …

Eighteen strains of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from two species of triatomines in the state of
Paraná, Brazil, were characterized molecularly using three strategies: RAPD (randomly …

Many previous studies have shown a great phylogenetic and biological variability of
Trypanosoma cruzi using different molecular and biochemical methods. Populations of T …
