Hydrocarbons of Rhodnius prolixus, a Chagas disease vector
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2001The surface hydrocarbons of the blood-sucking insect, Rhodnius prolixus, a major Chagas disease vector in Venezuela, Colombia and Central America, were characterized by capillary gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (CGC-MS). A total of 54 single or multicomponent peaks of saturated, straight-chain and methyl-branched hydrocarbons were ...

Chagas disease vector control in Central America
Parasitology Today, 1997As the Southern Cone Initiative proceeds steadily towards eradication of Triatoma infestans, there is increasing interest in applying similar approaches to control Chagas disease vectors in Mexico, Central America and countries of the Andean Pact. Here, Chris Schofield and Jean-Pierre Dujardin discuss the technical feasibility of such an approach.

Acute Vector-Borne Chagas Disease
2019It has been estimated that there are between six and seven million people in the world infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, most of them in Latin America. The vector-borne transmission is produced through insects of the subfamily Triatominae carrying the parasite.

Evolution, Systematics, and Biogeography of the Triatominae, Vectors of Chagas Disease
2018In this chapter, we review and update current knowledge about the evolution, systematics, and biogeography of the Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)-true bugs that feed primarily on vertebrate blood. In the Americas, triatomines are the vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease.

Observations on Vectors of Chagas' Disease in the United States
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1961Summary The causative agent of Chagas' disease, Trypanosoma cruzi, was found in 23 or 3.4% of 675 conenose bugs collected from 1936 to 1959 in New Mexico. Sixteen infected insects from Tyrone and two from Chaco Canyon were Triatoma protracta protracta and five from Carlsbad Caverns were Triatoma gerstaeckeri.

Attraction of Triatomine Bug Vectors of Chagas's Disease to Betalights
Nature, 1971APART from the improvement of housing standards as circumstances permit, the control of Chagas's disease throughout its range in South and Central America depends on control of the vectors (domestic triatomine bugs) by periodic indoor application of residual insecticide, usually HCH.

A Model for Chagas Disease Involving Transmission by Vectors and Blood Transfusion
Theoretical Population Biology, 1994Models on the population dynamics of Chagas disease are discussed. The effects of vector and blood transfusion transmission are considered and epidemiological data is provided to support model assumptions. Also, the role of density-dependence on the population dynamics of the vector population is explored as well as the existence of non-reproductive ...

Chemical control of Chagas disease vectors.
Biomedical and environmental sciences : BES, 1990This paper presents the reasons why countries to which Chagas disease is endemic should carry out the relevant research themselves. A local technical capability for a rational improvement in the chemical control of vectors is being developed. This research includes (1) the triatomicidal activity of chemical insecticides, (2) determination of the ...
