| [experimental antitriatomic program in santiago]. | the rural migration to urban centers occurred since the 40s in many latin american countries, including santiago the capital city of chile, originated a growing belt of premises built with light poor material (the rests of previous rural habitations, mud, pieces of timber, plastic and cardboard for walls, and cane stalks and artificial clinkstones for roofs) giving raise to many types of slums. this situation facilitated the passive transport of the different instars, including eggs, of triatomi ... | 1991 | 1726919 |

| the ecology of chagas disease in chile. | chagas disease probably affects over half a million people in chile, principally in rural communities in the fertile valleys of the arid 'norte chico' region, north of santiago. the main domestic vector is triatoma infestans, but triatoma spinolai, although mainly in rocky sylvatic and peridomestic ecotopes, also invades houses. since the spanish invasion in the sixteenth century, and particularly during the last 100 years, the endemic region has suffered an ecological breakdown, largely due to ... | 1982 | 6821391 |
| [tripano-triatomine infection of triatoma spinolai in a zone with epidemiological risk]. | triatoma spinolai is the only wild vector for chagas disease in chile and its epidemiological importance is being studied. | 1996 | 9197018 |
| congenital chagas disease of second generation in santiago, chile. report of two cases. | congenital chagas disease (cchd) has been reported in different countries, mostly in latin america. in 1987 a fatal case of cchd of second generation (cchdsg) was published. within a period of six months--1989-1990--two cases of cchdsg were diagnosed and studied in the city of santiago. two premature newborns, sons of two sisters, with moderate liver and spleen enlargement, were found to have positive serology for chagas disease and xenodiagnoses. the mothers, urban residents all their lives, wi ... | 2001 | 11558005 |
| abundance of mepraia spinolai in a periurban zone of chile. | mepraia spinolai is a silvatic species of triatominae which prefers microhabitats near to or in rock piles. it is also able to maintain similar or higher size populations near houses. the density of bugs in quarries near santiago, chile, differed within microhabitats and varied significantly within sites according to season. m. spinolai was not found in sites characterized by human perturbation of quarries. our results confirm m. spinolai as a silvatic triatomine whose importance as a vector of ... | 2002 | 12048552 |

| geographic variation of trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing units from triatoma infestans at different spatial scales. | we assessed the diversity and distribution of trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing units (dtu) in triatoma infestans populations and its association with local vector-borne transmission levels at various geographic scales. at a local scale, we found high predominance (92.4%) of tcvi over tcv in 68 microscope-positive t. infestans collected in rural communities in santiago del estero province in northern argentina. tcv was more often found in communities with higher house infestation prevalence comp ... | 2014 | 25090650 |
