Who Feeds the Trypanosoma cruzi Vectors? Systematic Review, Geographic Distribution, and Decision Tree of Blood Meal Sources for Brazilian Triatomines [PDF]
MicroorganismsChagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, affects 7 million people. Studying the ecology of triatomine vectors through midgut content analysis allows for infection diagnosis and the identification of blood meal sources (BMSs).
