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 ...
RAPD Protocol for triatominae
([s.n.], 1995)
ABSTRACT
RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) technique was evaluated in silvatic and domestic I. infestans originating from Cochabamba (Bolivia). Total genomic DNA was isolated from individual legs. Three extraction ...
Cryptic speciation in Lutzomyia (Nyssomyia) Trapidoi (Fairchild & Hertic) (Diptera: Psychodidae) detected by multilocus enzyme electrophoresis
(Am. J. Trop Med. Hyg., 1996)
Abstract
Lutzomyia trapidoi is the major vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Ecuador. In the framework of an epidemiologic study, female Lu. trapidoi sand flies were captured on human bait in La Tablada and Paraiso ...
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 ...
Cytogenetic and isozymic comparisons of two laboratory lines of Glossina palpalis gambiensis
(Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, 1994)
Abstract.
The genetics of two laboratory colonies of Glossina palpalis gambiensis were characterized by C-banding and isoenzyme studies. The colonies, derived from flies collected in the same locality, had different ...
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, ...
