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 …

Background The threat of a rapidly changing planet–of coupled social, environmental and
climatic change–pose new conceptual and practical challenges in responding to vector …

We review the epidemiological role of domestic and commensal hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi
using a quantitative approach, and compiled> 400 reports on their natural infection. We link …

Trypanosoma cruzi is the agent of Chagas disease, transmitted by hematophagous
triatomine vectors. Establishing transmission cycles is key to understand the epidemiology of …

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 …

Zoonotic emergence requires spillover from animals to humans, hence animal-human
interactions. A lot has been emphasized on human intrusion into wild habitats (eg …

Background Although the practice of communication is often called upon when intervening
and involving communities affected by NTDs, the disciplinary framework of health …

Chagas disease, considered a neglected disease by the World Health Organization, is
caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and transmitted by> 140 triatomine …

This article provides an overview of three research projects which designed and
implemented innovative interventions for Chagas disease vector control in Bolivia …

Background Chagas disease (CD) is a life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted by triatomine bugs. Triatomine bugs …
