Detection of Bartonella henselae DNA in Triatoma sordida collected in peridomiciliary environments. [PDF]
Bartonelloses represent a group of potentially fatal diseases associated with various clinical manifestations including endocarditis. Caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Bartonella, these microorganisms have a remarkable ability to infect mammals, and their transmission is commonly associated with hematophagous vectors such as fleas, lice ...

Post-control surveillance of Triatoma infestans and Triatoma sordida with chemically-baited sticky traps. [PDF]
Chagas disease prevention critically depends on keeping houses free of triatomine vectors. Insecticide spraying is very effective, but re-infestation of treated dwellings is commonplace. Early detection-elimination of re-infestation foci is key to long-term control; however, all available vector-detection methods have low sensitivity. Chemically-baited

Dispersive flight and house invasion by Triatoma guasayana and Triatoma sordida in Argentina [PDF]
Flight activity and invasion of houses by Triatoma sordida and T. guasayana were studied in the Province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Spontaneous findings of both species in houses were recorded from 1982 to 1989.

Assessing the mitochondrial DNA diversity of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma sordida (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [PDF]
Triatoma sordida is a species that transmits Trypanosoma cruzi to humans. In Brazil, T. sordida currently deserves special attention because of its wide distribution, tendency to invade domestic environments and vectorial competence. For the planning and

خلفية: تعتمد الوقاية من مرض شاغاس بشكل حاسم على الحفاظ على المنازل خالية من ناقلات الترياتومين. رش المبيدات الحشرية فعال للغاية، لكن إعادة إصابة المساكن المعالجة أمر شائع. الكشف المبكر - القضاء على بؤر إعادة الإصابة هو مفتاح المكافحة على المدى الطويل ؛ ومع ذلك، فإن جميع طرق الكشف عن ناقلات الأمراض المتاحة لها حساسية منخفضة.

Ecological and Sociodemographic Determinants of House Infestation by Triatoma infestans in Indigenous Communities of the Argentine Chaco [PDF]
The Gran Chaco ecoregion, a hotspot for Chagas and other neglected tropical diseases, is home to >20 indigenous peoples. Our objective was to identify the main ecological and sociodemographic determinants of house infestation and abundance of Triatoma ...

Oral transmission of Chagas disease from a One Health approach: A systematic review
Abstract Objective To analyse acute Chagas disease (CD) outbreaks through a qualitative systematic review and discuss the determinants for its prevention and control. Methods Review of studies in which clinical cases of oral transmission were confirmed by parasitological and/or serological tests that included an epidemiological investigation of sources

Feeding and defaecation patterns in Triatoma sordida [PDF]
Triatoma sordida is a peridomestic Triatominae that could play an important role in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, although its vectorial competence is not well known. The aim of this work was to evaluate two aspects of the vectorial competence: the feeding behaviour and defaecation patterns, and to compare them with T. infestans.

Flight and nutritional status of sylvatic Triatoma sordida and Triatoma guasayana [PDF]
Nutritional status relating to flight activity was investigated in natural populations of Triatoma sordida and T. guasayana during the dry season in the Bolivian Chaco. The peak flight activity of both species was unimodal and covered the period 61-180 min after sunset. The weight of insects was used as the indicator of nutritional status. Interspecies
