Most of the human infections with Trypanosoma cruzi are caused by triatomine species
adapted to thrive in domestic habitats and blood-feed on humans. Residual house spraying …

Background The elimination of Triatoma infestans, the main domestic vector of
Trypanosoma cruzi, is lagging behind expectations in the Gran Chaco region. We …

Background Triatoma infestans—the principal vector of the infection that causes Chagas
disease—defies elimination efforts in the Gran Chaco region. This study identifies the types …

Abstract Purpose of Review The genetic structure of insect vectors offers valuable insights
for identifying panmictic units, reinfestation sources, and minimal intervention units in vector …

Genetic and morphological structure of vector populations are useful to identify panmictic
groups, reinfestation sources and minimal units for control interventions. Currently, no …

Triatoma infestans, the primary vector of Chagas disease in southern South America, is
reported as a dimorphic species for flight muscle development and presents a marked …

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a phenotypic marker used as indicator of developmental stress
or instability, is sometimes associated with insecticide application and resistance. Here we …

The patterns of genetic structure in natural populations provide essential information for the
improvement of pest management strategies including those targeting arthropod vectors of …

Chagas disease is a vector-borne disease endemic in Latin America. Triatoma infestans, a
common vector of this disease, has recently expanded its range into rapidly developing …

Prevention of vector-borne transmission of Chagas disease mainly relies on residual
insecticide spraying. Despite significant success at a regional scale, house infestation with …
