Identifying Current and Missing Knowledge in the Control of Pyrethroid-Resistant Triatoma Infestans, Vector of Chagas Disease [PDF]
, 2017 Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that occur mainly in Latin America. They are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.

Secondary Kill Effect of Deltamethrin on Triatoma infestans [PDF]
Journal of Medical Entomology, 2011 Control of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans, relies on the application of pyrethroid insecticides, especially deltamethrin. We performed laboratory studies to determine whether a T. infestans nymph that comes into contact with a deltamethrin-treated surface horizontally transfers the insecticide to subsequent triatomines.

Temporal change of the aggregation response in Triatoma infestans [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000 Adults and larvae of Triatoma infestans spend daylight hours assembled in shaded places. An assembling factor has been demonstrated in the excrement of this species. We analysed different aspects of the dynamics of the response of bugs. Recently fed insects do not aggregate around faeces.
