Chagas disease prevention remains mostly based on triatomine vector control to reduce or
eliminate house infestation with these bugs. The level of adaptation of triatomines to human …

Triatomines are hemipteran bugs acting as vectors of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma
cruzi. This parasite causes Chagas disease, one of the major parasitic diseases in the …

Abstract Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811) is the most abundant and significant insect
vector of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi in Central America, and particularly in Guatemala …

Chagas disease is one of the most important diseases in Latin America. Insecticides have
been sprayed to control domiciliated vectors. However, some triatomine species are not …

In this study, we evaluated the responses of Triatoma dimidiata Latreille (Hemiptera:
Reduviidae) to volatiles emitted by conspecific females, males, mating pairs and metasternal …

Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by
triatomine insect vectors. In Guatemala, insecticide spraying is an integral part of …

Background The control of Triatoma dimidiata, a major vector of Chagas disease, was
believed to eliminate Trypanosoma cruzi transmission in Central America. This vector was …

Publisher Summary Vector-borne diseases are responsible for a substantial portion of the
global disease. Control of insect vectors is often the best and sometimes the only way to …

El presente documento tiene como objetivo analizar información publicada sobre Triatoma
dimidiata (Latrille, 1811), para proyectar algunas tendencias de investigación a corto plazo …

Despite successes in reducing transmission, Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis)
remains the greatest economic burden of any parasitic disease in Latin America afflicting …
