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 …

Triatomine species largely differ in their degrees of adaptation to thrive in domestic habitats,
blood-feed on humans, and transmit Trypanosoma cruzi. Pathogen transmission dynamics …

Background Peri-urban and urban settings have recently gained more prominence in
studies on vector-borne transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi due to sustained rural-to-urban …

Chagas disease is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in Latin America.
Studying the biological parameters of each vector species or subspecies contributes to our …

In Mexico, more than 30 species of triatomines, vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological
agent of Chagas disease, have been collected. Among them, Triatoma pallidipennis stands …

The proximity between infectious disease vector populations and human settlements, and
the infection prevalence of vector populations can determine the rate of encounters between …

Abstract Triatominae bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) are usually associated with different
vertebrate species, upon which many of them feed. Yet how these different blood meal …

Three behaviors of epidemiological importance, namely feeding latency, feeding duration
and defecation latency, for six populations of Meccus phyllosomus longipennis (Usinger) …

Several important biological parameters for estimating the vectorial capacity of a triatomine
species were determined on a Mexican population of the recently described Triatoma …
