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 …

Lack of independence, or pseudoreplication, in samples from ecological studies of insects
reflects the complexity of working with living organisms: the finite and limited input of …

Background Establishing the sources of reinfestation after residual insecticide spraying is
crucial for vector elimination programs. Triatoma infestans, traditionally considered to be …

After the decrease of the relative importance of Triatoma infestans, a number of studies
reported the occurrence of sylvatic triatomines dispersing actively to domestic environments …

Chagas disease is an infectious disease of human and animal health concern, with 6–8
million chronic human infections and over 50,000 deaths throughout the Americas annually …

In this study, we evaluate the effect of participatory Ecohealth interventions on domestic
reinfestation of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma dimidiata after village-wide suppression …

Abstract Triatoma guasayana (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), considered a secondary vector of
Chagas disease, invades rural dwellings through flight dispersal during the warm season in …

The epidemiological scenario in central Argentinian Chaco region shows persistence of
Triatoma infestans domestic populations in endemic areas, with control interventions …

Aim The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the dispersal of sylvatic triatomines
to anthropic habitats is stimulated by degradation of their natural habitat. Location State of …

Vector transmission remains the main mode of Chagas disease transmission. The first part
of this chapter presents the current state of knowledge on the transmission mechanisms, the …
