Geographic Distribution of Chagas Disease Vectors in Brazil Based on Ecological Niche Modeling
Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Although Brazil was declared free from Chagas disease transmission by the domestic vector Triatoma infestans, human acute cases are still being registered based on transmission by native triatomine species. For a better understanding of transmission risk, the geographic distribution of Brazilian triatomines was analyzed.
