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.

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 ...

Standardization of laboratory bioassays for the study of Triatoma sordida susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides. [PDF]
Increasing reports of high-resistant Triatominae populations concerns scientists and sanitarians as little is known about the factors behind the occurrence of such phenotype and its real impact on vector control strategies. Moreover, the utilization of a large variety of methodologies hinder the comparison of the reported studies.This work aims to ...

Cryptic speciation in the Triatoma sordida subcomplex (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) revealed by chromosomal markers [PDF]
Background Chagas disease vectors (Hemiptera-Reduviidae) comprise more than 140 blood-sucking insect species of the Triatominae subfamily. The largest genus is Triatoma, subdivided in several complexes and subcomplexes according to morphology, ecology ...

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

Systematics of Triatoma sordida, T. guasayana and T. patagonica (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) [PDF]
Because of the relative epidemiological significance of Triatoma sordida, T. guasayana and T. patagonica, and the need to resolve doubts about their taxonomic validity, we report here a detailed taxonomic comparison of the three species using multivariate analysis of morphometric measures combined with comparisons of their genitalia and antennal ...

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.

Trypanosoma cruzi genotypes associated with domestic Triatoma sordida in Bolivia
Triatoma sordida is the second species of Triatominae considered of epidemiological significance in Bolivia. Associated with Triatoma infestans in various regions, it is as yet the only triatomine species established in human dwellings in localities of Velasco province, Department of Santa Cruz. This domestication is considered as primary.
