Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma
cruzi and transmitted mainly by members of the subfamily Triatominae. There are currently …

This article presents an overview of paratransgenesis as a strategy to control pathogen
transmission by insect vectors. It first briefly summarises some of the disease-causing …

The members of the subfamily Triatominae are true bugs specialized in blood-sucking. All
species are potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909), the causative agent of …

Background Identifying mosquito vectors is crucial for controlling diseases. Automated
identification studies using the convolutional neural network (CNN) have been conducted for …

Chagas disease (CD) is a public-health concern across Latin America. It is caused by
Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite transmitted by blood-sucking triatomine bugs. Automated …

Vector-borne Chagas disease is endemic to the Americas and imposes significant economic
and social burdens on public health. In a previous contribution, we presented an automated …

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 …

There are several identification tools that can assist researchers, technicians and the
community in the recognition of Chagas vector insects (triatomines), from other insects with …

Climate change can influence the geographical range of the ecological niche of pathogens
by altering biotic interactions with vectors and reservoirs. The distributions of 20 …

Background/Methodology Triatomine bugs are the vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent
of Chagas disease. Vector control has for decades relied upon insecticide spraying, but …
