| role of two triatoma (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) species in the transmission of trypanosoma cruzi (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) to man in the west coast of mexico. | from august 1997 to august 1998, 334 specimens of triatoma longipennis and 62 of t. picturata were collected in four groups of localities placed in the zone from guadalajara, jalisco to tepic, nayarit, in the west coast of mexico. most t. longipennis were collected outdoors (69.2%) while most t. picturata (58.1%) were collected indoors. all collected specimens were examined for trypanosoma cruzi infection, which was detected on 98 (29.3%) t. longipennis and 17 (27.4%) t. picturata. this study co ... | 2001 | 11285487 |
| sylvatic triatominae of the phyllosoma complex (hemiptera: reduviidae) around the community of carrillo puerto, nayarit, mexico. | research on domestic and sylvatic triatomines within the community of carrillo puerto and neighboring areas of nayarit, mexico, documented that triatoma longipennis (usinger) and triatoma picturata (usinger) were infected with trypanosoma cruzi (l.) in both habitats. t. picturata was the predominant species in both habitats. mouse baited-traps increased the effectiveness of collecting sylvatic triatomines, which were difficult to sample by inspecting habitats such as burrows, caves, and cliffs. ... | 2001 | 11580035 |
| epidemiological risk for trypanosoma cruzi transmission by species of phyllosoma complex in the occidental part of mexico. | domestic and peridomestic triatomine populations were collected in three rural mexican communities of jalisco, nayarit and zacatecas states. triatoma longipennis and t. picturata (phyllosoma complex) were the principal species unequally distributed in the villages: t. longipennis was the main species in two communities and t. picturata in the third one. peridomestic infestation and colonization indexes were remarkably high ranging from 26.1% to 50% and from 58.3% to 85.7%, respectively. moreover ... | 2006 | 16478619 |
