(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. ...

(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 ...

Detection of sylvatic dark morphs of Triatoma infestans in the Bolivian Chaco
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1997)
Triatoma infestans, the most important vector of Chagas disease in the southern part of Latin America, is considered to originate from the Cochabamba valley in Bolivia because this is the only region where true sylvatic ...
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 ...
Current spread of Triatoma infestans at the expense of Triatoma sordida in Bolivia

Triatoma infestans is the most widespread synanthropic species of Triatominae and the most important vector of Chagas disease in South America. The progressive geographical expansion of this species from its silvatic focus ...
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 ...
