New Approaches to the Ecology of Triatoma sordida in Peridomestic Environments of an Endemic Area of Minas Gerais, Brazil [PDF]

Pathogens
Triatoma sordida is a native South American species and the most frequently captured triatomine in artificial environments in Brazil. Although considered a secondary vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, it is typically associated with low infection rates.

Identification and characterization of microsatellite markers for population genetic studies of Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister, 1835) (Triatominae: Reduviidae) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Panstrongylus megistus is the most important vector of Chagas disease in Brazil. Studies show that the principal factor hindering the control of triatomines is reinfestation of houses previously treated with insecticides.

Comparative Analysis of Vectorial Capacity Among Triatoma brasiliensis brasiliensis, Triatoma juazeirensis, and Their Experimental Hybrids [PDF]

Microorganisms
The existence of a natural hybridization zone of members of the Triatoma brasiliensis complex in Pernambuco, a Brazilian state with areas highly infested by Trypanosoma cruzi vectors, raised questions to be studied about the vectorial capacity of these ...

Food web structure and microenvironment affect Chagas disease vector infection and abundance in a rural landscape

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Vector‐borne pathogen transmission is shaped by multiple abiotic and biotic factors. Understanding the relative importance of these factors on vector abundance and infection is important for developing vector‐borne disease control strategies. The crown of the Attalea butyracea palm provides a natural arboreal mesocosm suitable for studying how

Domiciliação de triatomíneos ou pré-adaptação à antropofilia e à ornitofilia?

Revista de Saúde Pública, 1983
Nas áreas onde se considera que os triatomíneos não se adaptaram aos domicílios, tem sido encontradas colônias, desses insetos, em casas habitadas por mamíferos silvestres ou sinantrópicos. As determinações de sangue feitas em triatomíneos, coletados nos
