Many insects affect food production and human health, and in an attempt to control these
insects the use of synthetic insecticides has become widespread. However, this has resulted …

Objective To define the insecticide resistance status of Triatoma infestans to deltamethrin
(pyrethroid), malathion (organophosphate) and bendiocarb (carbamate) in Bolivia. Methods …

Most of the human infections with Trypanosoma cruzi are caused by triatomine species
adapted to thrive in domestic habitats and blood-feed on humans. Residual house spraying …

Recently, high resistance to pyrethroid insecticides has been associated with ineffective field
treatments against Triatoma infestans (Klug)(Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in northern Argentina …

Pyrethroid pesticides have been suggested to be a cause of Parkinson disease and other
neurodegenerative diseases. To investigate this, a cross-sectional study was conducted …

Background Rapid reinfestation of insecticide-treated dwellings hamper the sustained
elimination of Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease in the Gran Chaco …

Background Over the last few decades, pyrethroid-resistant in Triatoma infestans
populations have been reported, mainly on the border between Argentina and Bolivia …

After controlling Triatoma infestans in Brazil, other species of triatomine that were
considered minor in the transmission of Chagas disease became important. The persistence …

The objective of this work was the study of the relative contribution of general esterases: á-
napthyl acetate (á-NA) and p-nitro phenyl acetate (p-NPA) in pyrethroid-resistant T. infestans …

La enfermedad de Chagas afecta a más de un millón y medio de personas en Argentina y
es transmitida principalmente por la vinchuca Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834). El control …
