comprising three species, one of which includes two subspecific taxa, distributed across 12 …

After obtaining certification of the absence of transmission of the Trypanosoma cruzi by
Triatoma infestans in 2006, other native species of protozoan vectors have been found in …

Triatoma petrocchiae is the newly member of the Triatoma brasiliensis species complex.
This species overlaps with T. brasiliensis in geographic and ecotypic occupation in the …

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

Abstract In the subfamily Triatominae, Triatoma exhibits the largest number of species, which
are arranged in complexes. For the T. brasiliensis species complex, recent investigations …

Although Brazil was declared free from Chagas disease transmission by the domestic vector
Triatoma infestans, human acute cases are still being registered based on transmission by …

BACKGROUND Vector transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi appears to be interrupted in
Chile; however, data show increasing incidence of Chagas' disease, raising concerns that …

Ecological niche modeling of Triatominae bugs allow us to establish the local risk of
transmission of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease. This …

Abstract Triatoma dimidiata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a secondary vector of Trypanosoma
cruzi in Colombia and represents an important epidemiological risk mainly in the central and …

Abstract Background The protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi circulates in semiarid areas of
northeastern Brazil in distinct ecotopes (sylvatic, peridomestic and domestic) where …
