A multi-species bait for Chagas disease vectors. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2014 Antecedentes Los insectos triatominos son los vectores de insectos de Trypanosoma cruzi, el agente etiológico de la enfermedad de Chagas. Se sabe que estos insectos se agregan dentro de los refugios durante las horas del día y se ha demostrado que dentro de los refugios, la agregación es inducida por los volátiles emitidos por las heces de los insectos.

Transcriptomics Applied to the Study of Chagas Disease Vectors. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2022 ABSTRACT. Chagas disease is a neglected disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, and is transmitted mainly by the feces of contaminated triatomines. Knowledge of the biological, ecological, behavioral, genetic, taxonomic, and systematic aspects of these vectors can contribute to the planning of vector control programs, because all species are

The Body of Chagas Disease Vectors. [PDF]
PathogensMorphometry is an effort to describe or measure the morphology of the body, or parts of it. It also provides quantitative data on the interactions of living organisms with their environment, external or internal. As a discipline, morphometrics has undergone significant developments in the last decade, making its implementation more visual and less ...

Towards environmental detection of Chagas disease vectors and pathogen. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Abstract Background Accurate surveillance of triatomine household infestation is crucial for Chagas disease vector control. However, no gold standard detection method with high levels of sensitivity or specificity is currently available.

The Evolutionary Origin of Diversity in Chagas Disease Vectors. [PDF]
Trends Parasitol, 2017 Chagas disease is amongst the ten most important neglected tropical diseases but knowledge on the diversification of its vectors, Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), is very scarce. Most Triatominae species occur in the Americas, and are all considered potential vectors.

Karyotype Evolution of Chagas Disease Vectors (Hemiptera, Triatominae). [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2018 The Triatominae subfamily is composed of 153 hematophagous species that are potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Karyotypic studies in triatomines were initiated in 1909. There are 92 karyotypes described, all grouped into the tribes Rhodniini and Triatomini.

Control of Chagas disease vectors [PDF]
Salud Pública de México, 2003 Most Latin American countries are making dramatic progress in controlling Chagas disease, through a series of national and international initiatives focusing on elimination of domestic populations of Triatominae, improved screening of blood donors, and clinical support and treatment of persons infected with Trypanosoma cruzi.

Behavioural biology of Chagas disease vectors [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 Many arthropod species have adopted vertebrate blood as their main food source. Blood is rich in nutrients and, except for the presence of parasites, sterile. However, this food source is not freely available, nor is obtaining it devoid of risk. It circulates inside vessels hidden underneath the skin of mobile hosts that are able to defend themselves ...

Elimination of vector-borne transmission of Chagas disease [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999 The control of the vector-borne transmission of Chagas disease in Brazil was organized as a national program in 1975, when two large entomological and sero-epidemiological surveys were conducted in the country in order to identify areas at highest risk of transmission and to guide interventions regarding the chemical treatment of domestic vectors of ...

Cuticular hydrocarbons of Chagas disease vectors in Mexico [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002 Capillary gas-liquid chromatography was used to analyse the cuticular hydrocarbons of three triatomine species, Triatoma dimidiata, T. barberi and Dipetalogaster maxima, domestic vectors of Chagas disease in Mexico. Mixtures of saturated hydrocarbons of straight and methyl-branched chains were characteristic of the three species, but quantitatively ...
