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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Isozyme evidence of lack of speciation between wild and domestic triatoma infestans (Heteroptera: reduviidae) in Bolivia
(J. Med. Entomol., 1987-01)
Abstract .
Wild and domestic Triatoma infestans from
the Cochabamba region of Bolivia were virtually identical at l9 gene loci coding for enzymes. No allele was
distinctive of either the wild or the domestic populations. ...
Metric differences between silvatic and domestic Triatoma infestans (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) in Bolivia
(Med Entomol, 1997)
Abstract.
One hundred and fifty-seven specimens of Bolivian Triatoma infestans (Klug 1834), including 44 from the silvatic focus at Cochabamba (Bolivia), were compared using morphometric characters of the head capsule. ...
Low probability of transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi to humans by domiciliary Triatoma sordida in Bolivia
(Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1997)
Abstract
The role of Triatoma sordida in the domestic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi was assessed in 7 rural localities in Velasco Province, Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Tri. sordida, the only triatomine species ...
A new focus of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania amazonensis in a Sub Andean region of Bolivia
(Acta Tropica, 1988)
Abstract
We detected a new outbreak focus with high incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis in the Sub Andean region of La Paz. This area was never considered previously as an endemic zone of leishmaniasis. Leishmania stocks ...
