'It is like a tomato stall where someone can pick what he likes': structure and practices of female sex work in Kampala, Uganda. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Effective interventions among female sex workers require a thorough knowledge of the context of local sex industries. We explore the organisation of female sex work in a low socio-economic setting in Kampala, Uganda.

Short Communication Spermatogenesis in Triatoma melanocephala (Hemiptera: Triatominae)
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2013 Triatoma melanocephala is a rare species of Hemiptera. It belonged to the Brasiliensis subcomplex and presents morphological characteristics very close to those of Triatoma vitticeps. We investigated spermatogenesis of T. melanocephala and compared it with that of T.

Modelling the potential geographic distribution of triatomines infected by Triatoma virus in the southern cone of South America [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Triatoma virus (TrV) is the only entomopathogenous virus identified in triatomines. We estimated the potential geographic distribution of triatomine species naturally infected by TrV, using remotely sensed and meteorological environmental ...
