| 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 |
| occurrence of hybrids and laboratory evidence of fertility among three species of the phyllosoma complex (hemiptera: reduviidae) in mexico. | in seven studied communities of western mexico, triatomine specimens were sympatrically collected, some with atypical morphological characteristics in contrast to pure specimens, which were presumed to be hybrids. more than 200 specimens of meccus pallidipennis and meccus longipennis with brown-yellow markings on dorsal connexival segments were collected in ahuacapán and quitupan. in la mesa, more than 60 specimens similar to meccus picturatus in most morphological characteristics (including siz ... | 2009 | 20140373 |
| importance of species of triatominae (heteroptera: reduviidae) in risk of transmission of trypanosoma cruzi in western mexico. | the epidemiological risk of infection by trypanosoma cruzi chagas in human populations of western mexico is still under study. although most vectors in this region and their vector capability are already known, new studies estimating the risk and the importance of individual triatominae species (hemiptera: reduviidae) for t. cruzi transmission are necessary. for 1 yr, every month, > 400 human dwellings and their surroundings in eight communities of two western mexico states were searched for tri ... | 2008 | 18533443 |
| 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 |
