| importance of triatoma pallidipennis (hemiptera: reduviidae) as a vector of trypanosoma cruzi (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) in the state of morelos, mexico, and possible ecotopes. | we performed a transversal-type epidemiological study in the state of morelos, mexico, to determine the presence of triatomines, their ecotopes, and importance in transmission of trypanosoma cruzi chagas. sampling sites included domestic, peridomestic, and wild areas with collection based on the person per hour technique. we determined the entomological indices related to infestation, density, overcrowding, colonization, infection, and dispersion, which were used to calculate transmission risk. ... | 1999 | 10337089 |

| feeding patterns of triatoma longipennis usinger (hemiptera, reduviidae) in peridomestic habitats of a rural community in jalisco state, mexico. | we analyzed triatomine blood feeding patterns to evaluate the role of peridomiciles in trypanosoma cruzi transmission at the rural village of tepehuaje de morelos at jalisco state, mexico (1999). a total of 206 bugs were collected in 11 out of 26 households (42.3%). nymphs predominated in the collections (64.9% of the total). except for one triatoma barberi female, a species that belongs to the protracta species complex, all adults were triatoma longipennis, a species of the phyllosoma complex. ... | 2004 | 15605639 |
| risk factors associated with house infestation by the chagas disease vector triatoma pallidipennis in cuernavaca metropolitan area, mexico. | chagas disease caused by infection with trypanosoma cruzi chagas (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) is widespread in mexico, transmitted by various triatomine bugs (hemiptera: reduviidae). the only domestic vector in cuernavaca (population 650 000) is triatoma pallidipennis (ståhl) with t. cruzi seroprevalence ranging from 1% to 9% in the resident human population. we surveyed possible risk factors for t. pallidipennis infestation at cuernavaca (altitude 1200-2200 m) on south-western slopes of t ... | 2005 | 15958028 |
| infestation by triatoma pallidipennis (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) is associated with housing characteristics in rural mexico. | long-term control of chagas disease requires not only interruption of the human transmission cycle of trypanosoma cruzi schyzotrypanum, chagas, 1909 by controlling its domestic triatomine vectors but also surveillance to prevent reinfestation of residences from sylvatic or persistent peridomestic populations. although a number of potential risk factors for infestation have been implicated in previous studies, the explanatory power of resulting models has been low. two years after cessation of tr ... | 2006 | 17162961 |
