Abstract Background Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva, 1911 is the main vector of Trypanosoma
cruzi in the caatinga of Northeastern Brazil. Despite of its epidemiological relevance, there …

Triatoma sordida is a species that transmits Trypanosoma cruzi to humans. In Brazil, T.
sordida currently deserves special attention because of its wide distribution, tendency to …

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence
analyses were used to assess the genetic population structure of the South American …

Understanding the population dynamics of vectors is crucial for effective control of vector-
borne diseases. In the Northeastern Brazilian semi-arid region, Triatoma brasiliensis …

This study aimed to identify the Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes and their relationship with
parasitic load in distinct geographic and ecotypic populations of Triatoma brasiliensis in two …

Background Triatoma sordida, a vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, is native of Brazil, Bolivia,
Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay, and occurs primarily in peridomiciles. Currently, it is the …

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 …

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

Among the 126 Brazilian members of the subfamily Triatominae, those of greatest
epidemiological importance include Triatoma infestans, passively introduced into this …

We used an individual-based molecular multisource approach to assess the
epidemiological importance of Triatoma brasiliensis collected in distinct sites and ecotopes …
