| isoenzymes detect variation in populations of triatoma brasiliensis (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae). | triatoma brasiliensis is one of the most important vectors of chagas disease in the semiarid zone of the northeast of brazil. intraspecific morphological and behavioural variation has been reported for different populations. results for four distinct populations using eight isoenzymes are reported here. the literature describes three subspecies: t. brasiliensis brasiliensis neiva, 1911; t. brasiliensis melanica neiva & lent, 1941 and t. brasiliensis macromelasoma galvão, 1956. these subspecies d ... | 1997 | 9361737 |
| all-around care for patients with chagas disease: a challenge for the xxi century. | in 1987, the university of pernambuco's oswaldo cruz hospital in recife, brazil opened its chagas disease and heart failure outpatient clinic with the aim of providing its patients all-around care through adoption of a biopsychosocial model of care. all-around care involves caring for the patient as a whole human being in the context of the biological, psychological and social factors present, which are an inherent part of the human condition. one prerequisite for the proposed model of care is t ... | 2009 | 19753473 |
| survey for trypanosoma cruzi infection in a municipality in northeast brazil. | an epidemiological survey of trypanosoma cruzi infection was carried out in bodocó, located in the western part of the state of pernambuco, brazil. two hundred and forty-one individuals were parasitologically and immunologically screened. although hemoculture did not reveal the presence of parasites in the blood, the sera of 5 individuals were scored as positive by the indirect fluorescence antibody test and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. seropositivity in individuals above and below the ... | 1999 | 10733161 |
| ecotopes, natural infection and trophic resources of triatoma brasiliensis (hemiptera, reduviidae, triatominae). | triatoma brasiliensis is considered as one of the most important chagas disease vectors in the northeastern brazil. this species presents chromatic variations which led to descriptions of subspecies, synonymized by lent and wygodzinsky (1979). in order to broaden bionomic knowledge of these distinct colour patterns of t. brasiliensis, captures were performed at different sites, where the chromatic patterns were described: caicó, rio grande do norte (t. brasiliensis brasiliensis neiva, 1911), it ... | 1998 | 9698835 |
| synanthropic triatomines (hemiptera, reduviidae) in the state of pernambuco, brazil: geographical distribution and natural trypanosoma infection rates between 2006 and 2007. | the present study shows a descriptive analysis of triatomine occurrence and its natural trypanosoma infection rates in the state of pernambuco, brazil, between 2006 and 2007. | 2012 | 22370830 |

| chagas disease in the state of pernambuco, brazil: analysis of admissions and mortality time series. | a time series study of admissions, deaths and acute cases was conducted in order to evaluate the context of chagas disease in pernambuco. | 2011 | 21739070 |
| spatiotemporal analysis of reported cases of acute chagas disease in the state of pernambuco, brazil, from 2002 to 2013. | control strategies to eliminate the transmission of chagas disease by insect vectors have significantly decreased the number of reported acute cases in brazil. however, data regarding the incidence and distribution of acute chagas disease cases in the state of pernambuco are unavailable in the literature. | 2015 | 25992933 |
