Abstract Background Triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) are vectors of Trypanosoma
cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, one of the most important vector-borne …

Triatoma brasiliensis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) is the most important Chagas
disease vector in the semiarid areas of Northeast Brazil. We analyzed mitochondrial …

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

Ecological niche modeling of Triatominae bugs allow us to establish the local risk of
transmission of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease. This …

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

A recent phylogenetic analysis of Triatoma pallidipennis, an important Chagas disease
vector in Mexico, based on molecular markers, revealed five monophyletic haplogroups with …

There are 8 million people with Chagas disease worldwide and in El Salvador
approximately 39% of the population is at risk of contracting the disease. One of the principal …

Abstract Triatoma dimidiata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a secondary vector of Trypanosoma
cruzi in Colombia and represents an important epidemiological risk mainly in the central and …

We assessed the diversity of triatomines, the rates of natural infection, and the discrete
typing units (DTUs) of Trypanosoma cruzi isolated from them in two municipalities in the …

Searches for Chagas disease vectors were performed at the type locality from which
Triatoma sherlocki Papa et al.(Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) was described in the …
