The use of morphometrics in entomological surveillance of sylvatic foci of Triatoma infestans in Bolivia
(Acta Tropica, 1997)
Abstract
Jamach'uma (Cochabamba, Bolivia) is a small village surrounded by sylvatic foci of Triatoma infestans. Houses in the village were also infested with T. infestans, and were sprayed in December 1992 as part of a ...
Trypanosoma cruzi : a pharmacological comparison of some Bolivian isoenzymic strains
(Ann. Soc. Belge Med. Trop., 1983)
Summary .
The drug susceptibility of 3 isoenzymic strains of Trypanosoma cruzi was studied. Two drugs (SQ 18, 506 and Ro 7-1051) and 6 stocks were used. The drug test was carried out on epimastigote cultures. Significant ...
The microdistribution of isoenzymic strains of Trypanosoma cruzi in southern Bolivia; new isoenzyme profiles and further arguments against Mendelian sexuality
(Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1984)
Abstract.
132 Trypanosoma cruzi stocks were collected in southern Bolivia (99 stocks in Tupiza, 33 in Tarija), and were characterized using five enzymes (six loci). From these 132 stocks, a sample of 21 was studied using ...
Biosystematics of old world triatominae
(Acta Tropica, 1997)
Abstract.
Morphometric analysis of Old World species of Linshcosteus and Triatoma showed the two
genera to be well separated. However, although the analysis showed clear distinction between
the five species of Linshcosteus, ...
Enzymatic variability and phylogenetic relatedness among Triatoma infestans, T. platensis, T. delpontei and T. rubrovaria
(Heredity, 1996)
Four congeneric species of triatomine bugs, Triatoma platensis, T. delpontei, T. rubrovaria and T. infestans, were examined by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis. These four species are distributed sympatrically throughout ...
Population structure of Andean Triatoma infestans : allozyme frequencies and their epidemiological relevance
(Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1998)
Abstract. Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) from 22 Andean localities in Bolivia (n = 968) and Peru (n=37) were analysed by multi-locus enzyme electrophoresis. Among 12 gene-enzyme systems analysed, GPD, 6GPD and ...
Morphometrics of domestic Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus in Bolivia
(Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 1998)
The trend to domesticity in Triatominae may represent a transitionary phase towards increasing vectorial importance in the transmission of Chagas disease to humans, and requires sustained entomological surveillance. Although ...
The origin of Rhodnius prolixus in Central America
(Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1998)
Rhodnius prolixus Stal (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) is the main domestic vector of Chagas disease in Venezuela and Colombia, and also in parts of Central América (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua). In Central ...
Inter-relation of sylvatic and domestic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi in areas with and without domestic vectorial transmission in Minas Gerais, Brazil
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1995)
During the period 1980-1986, we captured triatomine bugs and mammalian reservoir hosts from sylvatic and domestic situations in different municipalities of the State of Minas Gerais. Trypanosoma cruzi was isolated from ...
