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 ...
Genetic variability and microdistribution of Triatoma infestans genotypes and Trypanosoma cruzi clones in Arequipa región (Peru)
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1997)
The genetic variability of Triatoma infestans and Trypanosoma cruzi populations was studied by isoenzyme analysis in two distinct areas of Arequipa province (Peru); one, Santa Rita de Siguas, being an endemic area for ...
Immune response to Trypanosoma cruzi shed acute phase antigen in children from an endemic area for Chagas'disease in Bolivia
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1997)
A field study of the immune response to the shed acute phase antigen (SAPA) of Trypanosoma cruzi was carried out in the locality of Mizque, Cochabamba department, Bolivia. Schoolchildren (266), with an average of 8.6 ± 3.6 ...
Aporte de la genética poblacional al control y vigilancia de vectores de la enfermedad de Chagas
(Universidad de los Andes, 1997)
La genética poblacional (GP) se interesa en el material biológico que pasa de una generación a otra. Dentro de la GP hay diferentes ramas, por ejemplo, la que estudia las leyes de la transmisión de los caracteres de una ...
Impairment of monocytic function during Trypanosoma cruzi infection
(Clinical and Diagnostic Laboratory Immunology, 1994-11)
During acute infection, Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease, causes immunosuppression by mechanisms that are not fully delineated. Since mononuclear phagocytes are major target cells in trypanosomiasis, ...
