Many arthropod species have adopted vertebrate blood as their main food source. Blood is
rich in nutrients and, except for the presence of parasites, sterile. However, this food source …

Abstract Although kissing bugs (Triatominae: Reduviidae) are perhaps best known as
vectors of Chagas disease, they are important experimental models in studies of insect …

Urban transmission of arthropod‐vectored disease has increased in recent decades.
Understanding and managing transmission potential in urban landscapes requires …

The spatio-temporal reinfestation patterns by Triatoma infestans following a blanket
insecticide spraying in the rural community of Amamá in northwestern Argentina were …

Defining spatial and temporal occurrences of triatomine vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the
agent of Chagas disease, in the US is critical for public health protection. Through a citizen …

Abstract In Arequipa, Peru, vectorborne transmission of Chagas disease by Triatoma
infestans has become an urban problem. We conducted an entomologic survey in a …

The aim of this paper was to analyse the active dispersal of Triatoma infestans and the role
of chickens as passive carriers of this insect in peridomestic areas of La Rioja, Argentina. To …

The host–vector–parasite interactions in Chagas disease peridomestic transmission cycles
in the United States are not yet well understood. Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida …

Reinfestation by Triatoma infestans after insecticide spraying has caused elimination efforts
in the dry Chaco region to fail repeatedly. The sources and spatial extent that need to be …

Wing geometric morphometry was used to study the spatial structuring of populations of
Triatoma infestans from different villages, ecotopes, and sites within a village in …
