| genetic diversity of triatoma infestans (hemiptera: reduviidae) in chuquisaca, bolivia based on the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. | partial cytochrome b dna sequences for 62 triatoma infestans were analyzed to determine the degree of genetic variation present in populations of this insect in the northwest region of chuquisaca, bolivia. a total of seven haplotypes were detected in the localities sampled. the phylogenetic relationship and population genetic structure of the haplotypes found in this region, indicate that there is greater variation in this relatively small region of bolivia than what has been previously reported ... | 2006 | 16410965 |
| microsatellites reveal a high population structure in triatoma infestans from chuquisaca, bolivia. | for chagas disease, the most serious infectious disease in the americas, effective disease control depends on elimination of vectors through spraying with insecticides. molecular genetic research can help vector control programs by identifying and characterizing vector populations and then developing effective intervention strategies. | 2008 | 18365033 |
| differential patterns of insecticide resistance in eggs and first instars of triatoma infestans (hemiptera: reduviidae) from argentina and bolivia. | previous work at our laboratory has indicated high resistance levels to deltamethrin correlated with failures of chemical control in field populations of triatoma infestans (klug, 1834) (hemiptera: reduviidae) in northern argentina and southern bolivia. the aim of the present work was to study the resistance patterns in eggs and first instars of t. infestans in populations from argentina and bolivia. at the egg stage, a population from salvador mazza, argentina, showed the highest resistance rat ... | 2008 | 18533435 |
