| [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 |
| [compared dynamics of triatoma infestans cohorts in residential environment]. | triatoma infestans is an insect with a high colonization capacity, capable of maintaining populations near saturation levels in different environments. however, it has a great lability in its population parameters when exposed to variable environmental conditions. the aim of this work was to explore the response of two cohorts with 4 initial egg densities, in two environmental conditions ("shelter" at 24 +/- 2.7 degrees c and 73 +/- 7% of relative humidity and "room" at 16.9 +/- 2.1 degrees c an ... | 1994 | 7597346 |
