The aetiological agent of Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi, is a key human pathogen
afflicting most populations of Latin America. This vectorborne parasite is transmitted by …

The control of Chagas disease vectors has been based principally on spraying dwellings
with insecticides. This strategy reduced the geographic range and infestation prevalence of …

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 The elimination of Triatoma infestans, the main domestic vector of
Trypanosoma cruzi, is lagging behind expectations in the Gran Chaco region. We …

Background Rapid reinfestation of insecticide-treated dwellings hamper the sustained
elimination of Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease in the Gran Chaco …

Background Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in the Southern Cone.
The resistance to pyrethroid insecticides developed by populations of this species impairs …

New vector control tools that can fit into a broader integrated vector management strategy
are notably lacking. We conducted a seven-month randomized trial to assess the efficacy of …

We assessed whether fluralaner administered to outbred healthy dogs reduced or
supressed site infestation and abundance of pyrethroid‐resistant populations of Triatoma …

Genetic and morphological structure of vector populations are useful to identify panmictic
groups, reinfestation sources and minimal units for control interventions. Currently, no …

Background The sustainable elimination of Triatoma infestans in the Gran Chaco region
represents an enduring challenge. Following the limited effects of a routine pyrethroid …
