Assessment of The Invasion Speed of Triatomine Populations, Vectors of Chagas Disease
Spraying insecticides to control triatomine populations, the vectors of Chagas disease, does not prevent the reemergence of the disease in infested areas. Mathematical models attempt to explain this reemergence by identifying the factors involved in sylvatic transmission of the parasite T.cruzi. The presence of reservoir hosts such as woodrats is essential to an understanding of the infection's...
متن کاملFactors controlling the volume of feces produced by triatomine vectors of Chagas' disease.
Triatomine species influenced volume of feces produced; Triatoma dimidiata produced the largest volume of feces followed by Panstrongylus megistus, Rhodnius prolixus, and Triatoma infestans. Moreover, stage and sex affected fecal production; 5th-stage female nymphs excreted the largest volume of feces. The amount of blood ingested was significantly correlated with the volume of feces produced i...
متن کاملAn Image-Euclidean-Distance Classifier of Some Triatomine Vectors of Chagas Disease
Chagas disease (CD) disease is a life-threatening tropical parasitic disease caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. T. cruzi is typically transmitted to humans and other mammals by the bite of "kissing bugs" of the subfamily Triatominae (family Reduviidae), primarily by species belonging to the Triatoma, Rhodnius, and Panstrongylus genera. Rapidly identifying CD insect vectors in...
متن کاملCultivation-Independent Methods Reveal Differences among Bacterial Gut Microbiota in Triatomine Vectors of Chagas Disease
BACKGROUND Chagas disease is a trypanosomiasis whose agent is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by hematophagous bugs known as triatomines. Even though insecticide treatments allow effective control of these bugs in most Latin American countries where Chagas disease is endemic, the disease still affects a large proportion of the population of South America...
متن کاملFipronil insecticide: novel application against triatomine insect vectors of Chagas disease.
We investigated the efficacy and the residual effect of fipronil(R) against two species of triatomine bugs, Triatoma infestans and Rhodnius neglectus, in laboratory conditions measuring concentration-response and residual activity on different surfaces (dried mud and lime coated mud). Lethal concentrations (LC50,90) were determined on filter paper. The higher insecticide efficacy against R. neg...
