Potential geographic displacement of Chagas disease vectors under climate change
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.As a result of modelling the potential distribution of 55 triatomine species in the Neotropical region, with climate change projected for up to 2050, we found no significant changes. With climate change projected for up to 2080 in the Neotropical region, we see a significant potential for the migration of 55 species of triatomines towards the Amazon ...

Contemporary Management of Patients With Chagas Cardiomyopathy in Bolivia
JACC: AdvancesBackground: Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCM) is the debilitating result of a parasitic infection that causes structural and electrical abnormalities. Yet, optimal CCM management is challenging in the resource-poor communities where it predominates. Objectives:

Identifying Health Centers in Honduras Infested with Rhodnius Prolixus Using the Seroprevalence of Chagas Disease in Children Younger than 13 Years. [PDF]
, 2005 The objective of this study is to determine if a Chagas disease protocol starting with a serological survey is as reliable at identifying insect-infested areas as one using the gold standard entomological survey.

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Each of the 111 dots represents a distinct PVC topography recorded in the 12L‐AECGs. Black dots represent PVC associated with patients classified as NYHA class I, green dots with NYHA class II, and yellow dots with NYHA class III.

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour
Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,

Critical monitoring and control factors for achieving food defense criteria
Risk Analysis, EarlyView.Abstract Food can be contaminated by physical, chemical, biological, and radiological hazards. Industry and regulatory agencies have developed the Food Safety Management System, based on the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, to be effective against unintentional food safety risks. However, there is the intentional contamination
