Thermal preferences and limits of Triatoma brasiliensis in its natural environment--field observations while host searching. [PDF]
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, 2015 The goal of this work was to explore the thermal relationship between foraging Triatoma brasiliensis and its natural habitat during the hottest season in the state of Ceará, Brazil. The thermal profiles were determined using infrared analysis.

Distributional potential of the Triatoma brasiliensis species complex at present and under scenarios of future climate conditions. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2014 The Triatoma brasiliensis complex is a monophyletic group, comprising three species, one of which includes two subspecific taxa, distributed across 12 Brazilian states, in the caatinga and cerrado biomes.

Domestic, peridomestic and wild hosts in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Caatinga area colonised by Triatoma brasiliensis. [PDF]
Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz, 2014 The role played by different mammal species in the maintenance of Trypanosoma cruzi is not constant and varies in time and place. This study aimed to characterise the importance of domestic, wild and peridomestic hosts in the transmission of T.
