This article presents an overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen
transmission by insect vectors. It first briefly summarises some of the disease-causing …

Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease present in the Americas, is caused by the
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is transmitted by triatomine kissing bug vectors. Hundreds …

Chagas disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi is a public health issue in Latin America.
This highly diverse parasite is divided into at least seven discrete typing units (DTUs) TcI …

Triatomine bugs, the vectors of Chagas disease, feed primarily on vertebrate blood and live
in close association with their hosts. Here we provide an updated synthesis of current …

This review focuses on the most reliable and up-to-date methods for diagnosing
trypanosomoses, a group of diseases of wild and domestic mammals, caused by …

Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan causative of Chagas disease (ChD), exhibits striking
genetic and phenotypic intraspecific diversity, along with ecoepidemiological complexity …

Insects have established mutualistic symbiotic interactions with microorganisms that are
beneficial to both host and symbiont. Many insects have exploited these symbioses to …

Integrating how biodiversity and infectious disease dynamics are linked at multiple levels
and scales is highly challenging. Chagas disease is a vector‐borne disease, with …

Background Triatomines are hematophagous insects that play an important role as vectors
of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. These insects have adapted …

Background Triatomines are blood-sucking insects capable of transmitting Trypanosoma
cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease in humans. Vectorial transmission entails an …
