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 …

The Triatominae are vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of the neglected
tropical Chagas disease. Their distribution stretches across Latin America, with some …

Background Chagas disease remains a major public health risk in Bolivia, particularly
among rural indigenous communities. Here we studied the cultural perception of the …

Abstract Triatoma guasayana (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), considered a secondary vector of
Chagas disease, invades rural dwellings through flight dispersal during the warm season in …

Chagas disease is a vector-borne disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, which is
transmitted by triatomine insects. Triatoma infestans is one of the main vectors. Efforts to …

The implementation of sustainable control strategies aimed at disrupting the transmission of
vector-borne pathogens requires a comprehensive knowledge of the vector ecology in the …

Objective To analyse the ecological and social factors involved in infestation of houses by
Triatoma dimidiata in a rural locality of Veracruz, Mexico, where active transmission of the …

Chagas disease is still a major public health problem in Bolivia mostly due to the recurrent
reinfestation of houses by Triatoma infestans. The current study evaluated the danger of …

Sylvatic populations of Triatoma infestans represent a challenge to Chagas disease control
as they are not targeted by vector control activities and may play a key role in post-spraying …

Chagas disease is endemic in~ 70% of Ecuador. Rhodnius ecuadoriensis and Triatoma
carrioni (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) are the primary vectors of Chagas disease in Southern …
