| entomological and ecological aspects of six sylvatic species of triatomines (hemiptera, reduviidae) from the collection of the national biodiversity institute of costa rica, central america. | a total of 797 specimens of wild adult triatomines, belonging to six species from the entomological collections of the costa rican national biodiversity institute, was studied from the standpoint of their relative abundance, as reflected by light traps, distribution in the country, seasonal variations and climatic and altitudinal preferences. triatoma dimidiata was the most abundant species (32.9% of the total specimens), with a very extensive distribution in different ecological zones, being mo ... | 2001 | 11562697 |
| [triatomines (reduviidae: triatominae) in a chagas disease focus in talaigua nuevo (bolívar, colombia)]. | the epidemiological importance and ecological characteristics of triatomines were investigated in a chagas disease focus in talaigua nuevo, bolivar province. | 2005 | 16433183 |
| geographical clustering of trypanosoma cruzi i groups from colombia revealed by low-stringency single specific primer-pcr of the intergenic regions of spliced-leader genes. | a low-stringency single-primer polymerase chain reaction (lssp-pcr) typing procedure targeted to the intergenic regions of spliced-leader genes (sl) was designed to profile trypanosoma cruzi i stocks from endemic regions of colombia. comparison between sl-lssp-pcr profiles of parasite dna from vector faeces and cultures isolated from those faeces showed more conservative signatures than profiles using lssp-pcr targeted to the minicircle variable regions (kdna). this was also observed by analysin ... | 2009 | 18850114 |
| incrimination of eratyrus cuspidatus (stal) in the transmission of chagas' disease by molecular epidemiology analysis of trypanosoma cruzi isolates from a geographically restricted area in the north of colombia. | following the report of two cases of acute chagas' disease and the appearance of several triatomine species in human dwellings in an area considered non-endemic for domestic transmission of trypanosoma cruzi; a epidemiological, entomological and t. cruzi molecular epidemiology analysis was performed in order to establish the transmission dynamic of the parasite in the studied area. 2 t. cruzi isolates from human patients, 5 from eratyrus cuspidatus, 4 from rhodnius pallescens, 4 from panstrongyl ... | 2009 | 19442641 |
| [distribution and ecoepidemiology of the triatomine fauna (hemiptera: reduviidae) in margarita island, bol+¡var, colombia]. | information concerning to triatomine diversity and some eco-epidemiologic aspects on margarita island has been recorded only from two of the five counties on the island. knowledge about species habitat and their natural infection is essential to establish the risk for chagas disease in endemic areas. | 2010 | 21713340 |
| [investigation of vectors and reservoirs in an acute chagas outbreak due to possible oral transmission in aguachica, cesar, colombia]. | colombia recorded 11 cases of acute chagas disease and 80 cases of oral contamination with trypanosoma cruzi. the current study analyzes the entomological and parasitological characteristics of the outbreak in aguachica, cesar department, in 2010. an interdisciplinary group of health professionals and regional university personnel conducted the laboratory tests in the patients and the investigation of the transmission focus. eleven cases of acute chagas diseases were detected in a single family ... | 2014 | 24896050 |
