We analyzed the main karyologic changes that have occurred during the dispersion of
Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease. We identified two allopatric groups …

Chagas disease, one of the most important vector-borne diseases in the Americas, is
caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted to humans by insects of the subfamily …

For about half of all Chagas disease cases T. infestans has been the responsible vector.
Contributing to its genetic knowledge will increase our understanding of the capacity of …

Chagas disease is one of the most important vector-borne diseases in Latin America. The

The wide geographical distribution of Triatoma dimidiata, one of the three major vectors of
Chagas disease, ranges from Mexico to northern Peru. Since this species occupies a great …

Triatoma dimidiata, one of the major vectors of Chagas disease in Central America, is found
in both domestic and peri-domestic habitats. Questions concerning population boundaries …

Background Among Chagas disease triatomine vectors, the largest genus, Triatoma,
