This review deals with transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi by the most important domestic
vectors, blood transfusion and oral intake. Among the vectors, Triatoma infestans …

In this chapter, we review and update current knowledge about the evolution, systematics,
and biogeography of the Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)—true bugs that feed …

This study consists of a broad review on what is known and what should be improved
regarding knowledge of Chagas disease, not only through analysis on the main studies …

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 …

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

The single celled eukaryote Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite transmitted by numerous species
of triatomine bug in the Americas, causes Chagas disease in humans. T. cruzi generally …

Objective To define the insecticide resistance status of Triatoma infestans to deltamethrin
(pyrethroid), malathion (organophosphate) and bendiocarb (carbamate) in Bolivia. Methods …

Traditional methods for Chagas disease prevention are targeted at domestic vector
reduction, as well as control of transfusion and maternal-fetal transmission. Population …

Triatoma infestans is one of the main domestic vectors of Chagas disease. Reports of wild
habitat occurrences have recently increased. In Chile, after a successful elimination …

Background The evolutionary history and ecological associations of Trypanosoma cruzi, the
need to identify genetic markers that can distinguish parasite subpopulations, and …
