| molecular individual-based approach on triatoma brasiliensis: inferences on triatomine foci, trypanosoma cruzi natural infection prevalence, parasite diversity and feeding sources. | we used an individual-based molecular multisource approach to assess the epidemiological importance of triatoma brasiliensis collected in distinct sites and ecotopes in rio grande do norte state, brazil. in the semi-arid zones of brazil, this blood sucking bug is the most important vector of trypanosoma cruzi--the parasite that causes chagas disease. first, cytochrome b (cytb) and microsatellite markers were used for inferences on the genetic structure of five populations (108 bugs). second, we ... | 2016 | 26891047 |
