| polymerase chain reaction detection of trypanosoma cruzi in suboptimally preserved vectors and comparative infection rates 2007-2010 in escondido, southern california. | we investigate the effect of specimen preservation on reliable detection of infection rates of the chagas disease agent trypanosoma cruzi (kinetoplastida: trypanosomatidae) in the californian endemic vector triatoma protracta (uhler) (hemiptera: reduviidae) by using polymerase chain reaction. infection rates in suboptimally preserved specimens (dry or low-percentage ethanol) were found to be not significantly different from optimally preserved samples. based on our samples, the infection rate of ... | 2011 | 21919730 |

| genetic variation, population structure, and phylogenetic relationships of triatoma rubida and t. recurva (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) from the sonoran desert, insect vectors of the chagas' disease parasite trypanosoma cruzi. | nucleotide and amino acid sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) gene segments were used to gain insights into the population biology and phylogenetic relationships of two species of hematophagous kissing bugs (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) from the sonoran desert of northwestern mexico and southern arizona, usa, triatoma rubida (uhler, 1894) and t. recurva (stål, 1868), both of which are vectors of the protozoan parasite trypanoso ... | 2006 | 16934496 |
| identifying the predator complex of homalodisca vitripennis (hemiptera: cicadellidae): a comparative study of the efficacy of an elisa and pcr gut content assay. | a growing number of ecologists are using molecular gut content assays to qualitatively measure predation. the two most popular gut content assays are immunoassays employing pest-specific monoclonal antibodies (mab) and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) assays employing pest-specific dna. here, we present results from the first study to simultaneously use both methods to identify predators of the glassy winged sharpshooter (gwss), homalodisca vitripennis (germar) (hemiptera: cicadellidae). a total ... | 2008 | 18618149 |
