Chagas disease is a chronic parasitic infection restricted to America. The disease is caused
by the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to human through the feces of …

Many insects affect food production and human health, and in an attempt to control these
insects the use of synthetic insecticides has become widespread. However, this has resulted …

Background Vector control has substantially reduced Chagas disease (ChD) incidence.
However, transmission by household-reinfesting triatomines persists, suggesting that …

Triatomines are hemipteran bugs acting as vectors of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma
cruzi. This parasite causes Chagas disease, one of the major parasitic diseases in the …

Background Chagas disease control campaigns relying upon residual insecticide spraying
have been successful in many Southern American countries. However, in some areas, rapid …

Terpenoids from natural plant sources are valuable for their diverse biological activities that
have important roles in the medical and agrochemical industries. In this study, we assessed …

American trypanosomiasis is a chronic parasitosis caused by the kinetoplastid parasite
Trypanosoma cruzi and is highly prevalent among a large variety of marsupial and placental …

Most of the human infections with Trypanosoma cruzi are caused by triatomine species
adapted to thrive in domestic habitats and blood-feed on humans. Residual house spraying …

Background Establishing the sources of reinfestation after residual insecticide spraying is
crucial for vector elimination programs. Triatoma infestans, traditionally considered to be …

There are currently two major factors that have modified the epidemiology of Chagas
disease in the last decades: climate change and migration flows. In this new scenario, there …
