| peridomestic colonization of triatoma longipennis (hemiptera, reduviidae) and triatoma barberi (hemiptera, reduviidae) in a rural community with active transmission of trypanosoma cruzi in jalisco state, mexico. | infestation of peridomiciles is likely a major risk factor for chagas disease transmission in jalisco state, mexico. an entomological and serological survey of a typical village was conducted between july and september 2003. the peridomestic areas of 100 dwellings were visited and triatomines were searched manually in 369 potential sites. a total of 1821 triatoma longipennis (93.2%) or triatoma barberi was captured. both species frequently occurred in sympatry. the infestation index was 60% for ... | 2007 | 17382891 |
| 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 |
