Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease transmitted by the protozoan Trypanosoma
cruzi that lately has been highlighted because several outbreaks attributed to oral …

Transboundary zoonotic diseases, several of which are vector borne, can maintain a
dynamic focus and have pathogens circulating in geographic regions encircling multiple …

Chagas disease is one of the most important yet neglected parasitic diseases in Mexico and
is transmitted by Triatominae. Nineteen of the 31 Mexican triatomine species have been …

Landscape interactions of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc) with Triatoma dimidiata (Td) depend on
the presence and relative abundance of mammal hosts. This study analyzed a landscape …

Background The evolutionary history and ecological associations of Trypanosoma cruzi, the
need to identify genetic markers that can distinguish parasite subpopulations, and …

The niche conservatism hypothesis states that related species diverge in niche
characteristics at lower rates than expected, given their lineage divergence. Here we …

The population genetics of Triatoma dimidiata haplogroups was analyzed at landscape and
sub-regional scales in Chiapas and regional level across the Mexican Neotropics, and …

The reduction in biodiversity from land use change due to urbanization and agricultural
intensification appears to be linked to major epidemiological changes in many human …

In contrast to other mammalian reservoirs, many bat species migrate long-distances and
have the potential to introduce exotic pathogens to new areas. Bats have long been …

A widely accepted idea in parasite-host relationships is that the former manipulates the latter
so that it increases its own success. In the case of complex life cycles, this means that the …
