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

In the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, the main vector of Chagas disease is Triatoma
dimidiata. Field studies suggest that natural transmission occurs through transient and …

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 …

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 …

The associations between the presence of triatomines and environmental variables were
studied using correlation analysis and logistic regression models for a sample of villages in …
