Chagas disease is a chronic parasitic infection restricted to America. The disease is caused
by the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to human through the feces of …

Background Although domestic infestations by Triatoma infestans have been successfully
controlled across Latin America, in areas of the Gran Chaco region, recurrent post-spraying …

Chagas disease affects around 6 million people in the world, and in Latin America, it is
mainly transmitted by the kissing bug. Chemical control of the vector with pyrethroid …

Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is a morphometric tool used to measure developmental
instability in organisms which have been exposed to stress or other adverse conditions …

A wide range of insecticide resistance profiles has been reported across Bolivian domestic
and sylvatic populations of Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834)(Hemiptera, Reduviidae) …

The prevention of Chagas disease is based primarily on the chemical control of Triatoma
infestans (Klug) using pyrethroid insecticides. However, high resistance levels, correlated …

Pyrethroids are the most widely used insecticides for controlling insect vectors carrying
medically and economically significant pathogens. In Colombia, studies on triatomine …

Chagas disease is still a major public health problem in Bolivia mostly due to the recurrent
reinfestation of houses by Triatoma infestans. The current study evaluated the danger of …

Objective To investigate what toxicological interactions occur when binary combinations of
azamethiphos and botanical monoterpenes (eugenol, menthol or menthyl acetate) are …

Sylvatic populations of Triatoma infestans represent a challenge to Chagas disease control
as they are not targeted by vector control activities and may play a key role in post-spraying …
