BackgroundTriatomines in Latin America are natural Chagas disease (ChD) vectors. Triatomine domiciliation is one of the main factors increasing the occurrence risk of this disease in humans. There are 66 triatomine sp...

Summary What is already known on this topic?Triatoma rubrofasciata is a potential vector that can transmit American trypanosomiasis and was widely recorded in South of China.What is added by this report?Because of the...
Trypanosoma cruzi,the causative agent of Chagas disease, interacts with molecules in the midgut of its insect vector to multiply and reach the infective stage. Many studies suggest that the parasite binds to midgut-sp...
Although having five different ways of transmission the vector-borne is the principal way of transmission of Chagas disease, which involves insects of the subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). Nineteen of the...
Background:Most species of Triatominae live exclusively in Latin America.However,one species,Triatom a rubrofasciata,has been recorded in the Americas as well as in various port areas in Africa and Asia.An increasing ...

Background:Triatomines,also known as kissing bugs,which are found throughout the world and especially in Latin America,are well known natural vectors that transmit American trypanosomiasis,also called Chagas disease.I...
Objective:To investigate the bioecological relationship between Chagas disease peridomestic vectors and reptiles as source of feeding.Methods:In a three-story building,triatomines were captured by direct search and el...
