Triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) prevalent in the northwest of Peru: species...
Cuba, César Augusto Cuba; Vallejo, Gustavo Adolfo; Gonçalves, Rodrigo GurgelABSTRACT: The development of strategies for the adequate control of the vector transmission of Chagas disease depends on the availability of updated data on the triatomine species present in each region, their geographical distribution, natural infections by Trypanosoma cruzi and/or T. rangeli, eco-biological characteristics and synanthropic behavioral tendencies. This paper summarizes and updates current infor...

Detecção da infecção por Trypanosoma cruzi e Trypanosoma rangeli em vetores tri...
Pavia, Paula Ximena; Vallejo, Gustavo Adolfo; Montilla, Marleny; Nicholls, Rubén Santiago; Puerta, Concepción JudithTrypanosoma rangeli is non pathogenic for humans but of important medical and epidemiological interest because it shares vertebrate hosts, insect vectors, reservoirs and geographic areas with T. cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Therefore, in this work, we set up two PCR reactions, TcH2AF/R and TrFR2, to distinguish T. cruzi from T. rangeli in mixed infections of vectors based on amplification of ...
