Chagas disease is a neglected chronic infectious disease that persists with a high morbidity and mortality burden, accounting for approximately 6-7 million infections worldwide and 12,000 deaths / year. Tauá municipality - Ceará is located in Inhamuns area, semi-arid northeast, whose predominant biome is Caatinga. A high - risk region in the Trypanosoma cruzi home transmission has rural areas with high dispersi...
A compreensão dos elementos que constituem a dinâmica de reinfestação de triatomíneos e a transmissão de Trypanosoma cruzi, pode colaborar com informações úteis para o planejamento dos serviços de saúde quanto às ações para prevenir a Doença de Chagas. Descrever o padrão da reinfestação pelo Triatoma brasiliensis em área de caatinga do município de Tauá (CE), após borrifação com inseticida residual. Estudo desc...

Traditionally, the control of human transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi is accomplished by the application of insecticides with residual action. However, knowledge about the role of hosts domestic and wild outdoor environments are critical for determining the maintenance and / or dispersion of T. cruzi. This study aimed to characterize the importance of domestic reservoirs, wild and peridomestic transmission of T...
