Geographic Distribution of Chagas Disease Vectors in Brazil Based on Ecological Niche Modeling
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.

Taxonomic and systematic analysis among triatomine bug species (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) from colonies of the Special Health Service of Araraquara (SESA), inferred from 16S rDNA mitocondrial sequences [PDF]
Foram analisadas seqüências de nucleotídeos do gene 16S do rDNA mitocondrial em 14 populações de triatomíneos mantidos em colônias no insetário SESA de Araraquara- SP, comparando-as com seqüências do mesmo gene disponíveis no GenBank.

Introduction. American trypanosomiasis, also known as Chagas disease, is a zoonosis caused by Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi). Dogs and cats participate actively in this parasite′s transmission cycle. This study aimed at evaluating the occurrence of T. cruzi in dogs and cats from Botucatu, SP, Brazil, as well as at evaluating the technique of hemoculture ...

Introducción. Se han detectado asociaciones biológicas huésped-parásito específicas que sugieren que los triatominos del género Rhodnius podrían actuar como filtros biológicos en la transmisión de Trypanosoma rangeli. Objetivo.

Fungal flora of the digestive tract of Rhodnius prolixus, Rhodnius neglectus, Diptelanogaster maximus and Panstrongylus megistus, vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, Chagas, 1909 [PDF]
This paper reports a study on the mycobiota in the digestive tract of four important species of triatomines: Rhodnius prolixus, R. neglectus, Diptelanogaster maximus and Panstrongylus megistus. The digestive tracts of 90 adults and 425 nymphs of these four triatomine species were studied and 365 fungal strains were isolated.

Modelling the potential geographic distribution of triatomines infected by Triatoma virus in the southern cone of South America [PDF]
Background: Triatoma virus (TrV) is the only entomopathogenous virus identified in triatomines. We estimated the potential geographic distribution of triatomine species naturally infected by TrV, using remotely sensed and meteorological environmental ...
