We review the epidemiological role of domestic and commensal hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi
using a quantitative approach, and compiled> 400 reports on their natural infection. We link …

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 …

Abstract Protozoan pathogen Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909) is the etiologic agent of
Chagas disease, which affects millions of people in Latin America. Recently, the disease …

In three rural villages of northwest Argentina, the overall proportion of domiciliary Triatoma
infestans infected with Trypanosoma cruzi was 49% among 1,316 bugs individually …

Dogs, the main domestic reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Argentine chaco, may be
useful as sentinels of vector-mediated transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in control …

An empirical model of flight initiation coupled with data from a longitudinal study predicted
that the flight dispersal of Triatoma infestans from peridomestic sites was more likely to occur …

The purpose of this study was to identify the origin of Triatoma infestans reinfestation and
study its dynamics following spraying with deltamethrin inside and around 94 houses in …
