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

The composition and contribution of different host species in the dynamics of vector-borne
zoonotic parasites are particularly relevant for public health. Hence, the study of host …

Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, is mainly transmitted by insects of
the Triatominae subfamily. In Colombia, there are 26 triatomine species, and 16 of them are …

Exploring the dynamics of disease transmission involves an understanding of complex
interactions within the eco-epidemiologic framework. In the context of Chagas disease (CD) …

Chagas disease is considered a public health issue in Colombia, where many regions are
endemic. Triatoma dimidiata is an important vector after Rhodnius prolixus, and it is gaining …

Chagas disease affects millions of people in Colombia and worldwide, with its transmission
influenced by ecological, environmental, and anthropogenic factors. There is a notable …

The proximity between infectious disease vector populations and human settlements, and
the infection prevalence of vector populations can determine the rate of encounters between …

Chagas disease (ChD) is a vector zoonosis native to the American continent caused by the
protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi; the biological vectors are multiple species of …

Triatoma melanica is a sylvatic vector species in Brazil. In We aimed to characterize the
Trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing units (DTUs), the parasitic loads, and the blood meal …

In this paper, an insect-parasite-host model with Ricker's type reproduction of triatomines
and the standard incidence rate of the interaction between insects and hosts is formulated to …
