| sources of blood meals of sylvatic triatoma guasayana near zurima, bolivia, assayed with qpcr and 12s cloning. | in this study we compared the utility of two molecular biology techniques, cloning of the mitochondrial 12s ribosomal rna gene and hydrolysis probe-based qpcr, to identify blood meal sources of sylvatic chagas disease insect vectors collected with live-bait mouse traps (also known as noireau traps). fourteen t. guasayana were collected from six georeferenced trap locations in the andean highlands of the department of chuquisaca, bolivia. | 2014 | 25474154 |
