Comparative Feeding and Defecation Behaviors of Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected and Uninfected Triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) from the Americas [PDF]

Insects
Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae), the agent of Chagas disease. Stercorarian transmission occurs when infectious parasites are passed in insect feces to vertebrates through the biting wound or mucosa ...

Collection of triatomines from sylvatic habitats by a Trypanosoma cruzi-infected scent detection dog in Texas, USA.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023
BackgroundTriatomine insects, vectors of the etiologic agent of Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi), are challenging to locate in sylvatic habitats. Collection techniques used in the United States often rely on methods to intercept seasonally dispersing ...
