Landscape interactions of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) with Triatoma dimidiata (Td) depend on
the presence and relative abundance of mammal hosts. This study analyzed a landscape …

The control of wild triatomine populations that can invade dwellings is a major challenge for
Chagas disease control in Mexico, but a better knowledge of the biology of these …

In control programs for vectorial transmission of Chagas' disease, conventional microscopic
procedures are generally performed to determine baseline levels of infectivity of vectors …

Boyaca department is an endemic area for Chagas disease in Colombia, where 24 of its
municipalities have been certified by the PAHO with interruption of Trypanosoma cruzi …

Triatomine vectors are responsible for the main route of transmission of the protozoan
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. This illness is potentially life …

Abstract Background In the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, Triatoma dimidiata is the main
