Here we apply inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers to explore the fine-scale
genetic structure and dispersal in populations of Triatoma infestans. Five selected primers …

Background For Chagas disease, the most serious infectious disease in the Americas,
effective disease control depends on elimination of vectors through spraying with …

Accurate prediction of vectors dispersal, as well as identification of adaptations that allow
blood-feeding vectors to thrive in built environments, are a basis for effective disease control …
