Genética de poblaciones de triatomineos en relación a las estrategias de control de insectos vectores
(Bol. Soc. Zool. Uruguay, 1995)
The causative agent of Chagas disease infects more than 16 millions persons in Latin America; the resulting human chronic pathology is responsible of an important economic loss. The authors first analyze the main features ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Isoenzymes as a tool for the identification of Rhodnius species (Hemiptera: reduviidae: Triatominae)
(Research and Reviews in Parasitology, 1996)
ABSTRACT.
Some species of Rhodnius prove difficult to separate on overt morphological characters. leading to difficulties in determining the current distribution of several of the most epidemiologically significant species. ...
Chagas disease vector control in Central America
(Parasitology Today, 1997)
As the Southern Cone Initiative proceeds steadily towards eradication of Triatoma infestans, there is increasing interest in applying similar approaches to control Chagas disease vectors in Mexico, Central America and ...
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 ...
Étude de 11 enzymes et données de génétique formelle pour 19 loci enzymatiques chez Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Ann. Soc. Belge Med. Trop., 1985)
Résumé.
Onze enzymes ont été analysées par électrophorèse sur acétate de cellulose chez Triatoma infestans (Klug. 1834), vecteur principal de la maladie de Chagas.
Ces onze enzymes correspondent au moins á 19 loci, dont ...
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 ...
