Background Knowledge of triatomine food sources in different ecotopes enables the
estimation of T. cruzi transmission risk in diverse environments, as well as its dynamics of …

The role played by different mammal species in the maintenance of Trypanosoma cruzi is
not constant and varies in time and place. This study aimed to characterise the importance of …

Abstract Background The identification of Trypanosoma cruzi and blood-meal sources in
synanthropic triatomines is important to assess the potential risk of Chagas disease …

An outbreak of Chagas disease, possibly involving its vector Triatoma brasiliensis
brasiliensis, was identified in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Given the historical …

Abstract In the Amazon region, Trypanosoma cruzi transmission cycles involve a great
diversity of Triatominae vectors and mammal reservoirs. Some Rhodnius spp. mainly inhabit …

Background: In rural areas of Espírito Santo state, southeast Brazil, triatomine species
attracted by light frequently invade residences. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

The present study, carried out in the municipality of Gentio do Ouro, Bahia, Brazil aimed to
evaluate which wild mammals may be involved in the transmission of T. cruzi and which are …

Trypanosoma cruzi is a parasitic protozoan that infects a diversity of hosts constituting the
cycle of enzootic transmission in wild environments and causing disease in humans …

This study aimed to identify the Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes and their relationship with
parasitic load in distinct geographic and ecotypic populations of Triatoma brasiliensis in two …

The genetic variability of 24 Trypanosoma cruzi isolates from humans (11) and triatomines
(13) in northeastern Brazil was analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) …
