| morphometric variability in the chagas' disease vector rhodnius prolixus. | morphometric variability was studied in six domestic venezuelan populations of the blood-sucking bug rhodnius prolixus stal 1897 (reduviidae, triatominae) and in a sylvatic population identified as r. robustus larrousse 1927. evidence is here provided by both uni- and multifactorial analyses of extensive variation of morphological traits between the r. prolixus populations studied. regardless the geographic or climatic environmental factor tested, none can be retained in a selective model accoun ... | 1994 | 8080655 |
| pyrethroid-impregnated curtains for chagas' disease control in venezuela. | the use of insecticide treated materials for the control of chagas' disease transmission is potentially a cost-effective and sustainable option where vectors are sylvatic. a study was undertaken in two rural chagas' disease endemic communities (96 households) of trujillo state, venezuela. after a baseline study (including a short questionnaire survey, assessment of housing conditions, vector behaviour and preferences in vector protection), 37 households were chosen at random for protection by im ... | 2003 | 12943974 |
