Current spread of Triatoma infestans at the expense of Triatoma sordida in Bolivia
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1996)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 ... -
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 structure of Triatoma sordida (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) domestic populations from Bolivia : application on control interventions
(Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz, 1999)The genetic population of Triatoma sordida group 1, a secondary vector of Chagas disease in Bolivia, was studied by multi-locus enzyme electrophoresis. A total of 253 nymphal and adult specimens collected from seven ... -
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 ... -
Sylvatic triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Bolivia : trends toward domesticity and possibleinfection with Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae)
(Journal of Medical Entomology, 1995)ABSTRACT The risk of domestic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas) by sylvatic triatomines was assessed in an isolated area of the subandean region of Bolivia. None of the 390 residents examined had serological ... -
Trypanosoma cruzi : study of the distribution of two widespread clonal genetypes in Bolivian Triatoma infestans vectors shows a high frequency of mixed infestions
(Experimental Parasitology, 1996)Abstract. The detection of two widespread Trypanosoma cruzi clonal genotypes (20 and 39) in feces of Bolivian specimens of the vector Triatoma infestans was performed by a combination of polymerase chain reaction and ...
