Abstract Background Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) is an important neglected
tropical illness, which has the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi as etiological agent …

In triatomines, vectors of Chagas disease, active dispersal takes place by walking and flying.
Flight has received more attention than walking although the last is the dispersal modality …

Flight is the main form of dispersion for adult triatomines. It is postulated here that some body
morphological parameters vary in T. guasayana according to a greater or lesser wing …

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 …

Chagas disease was investigated in two new settlements of landless rural workers
inhabiting prefabricated, triatomine-proof houses and in four neighboring older communities …

Three behaviors of epidemiological importance: the time lapse for the onset of feeding,
actual feeding, and defecation time for Meccus phyllosomus pallidipennis (Stål), Meccus …

In vector control terms, insecticide resistance is the development of the capacity, of an insect
population, to tolerate doses of an insecticide that are lethal to most individuals in a typical …

Hematophagous insects of the subfamily Triatominae include several species with a large
variety of shapes, behavior and distribution. They have great epidemiological importance …

Triatoma brasiliensis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is an important vector of Chagas' disease in
both sylvatic and peridomestic ecotopes. Discriminating between these populations of …

The phylogenetic relationships among species of Triatoma matogrossensis subcomplex (T.
baratai, T. guazu, T. matogrossensis, T. sordida, T. vandae, and T. williami) was addressed …
