Novel Kdr mutations (K964R and A943V) in pyrethroid-resistant populations of Triatoma mazzottii and Triatoma longipennis from Mexico and detoxifying enzymes

Insect sci. (Online); 26 (5), 2019
Although having five different ways of transmission the vector-borne is the principal way of transmission of Chagas disease, which involves insects of the subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). Nineteen of the 31 species that occur in Mexico are associated with humans, and all are capable of tran...

First report of two kdr mutations L1014F/S in natural populations of Triatoma pallidipennis Stal and Triatoma picturata Usinger vectors of Chagas disease in Mexico

J. vector ecol; 44 (2), 2019
Contexto e Importância : Nos últimos anos, houve cerca de 5.000 casos relatados de doença de Chagas no México. A transmissão da doença é facilitada pela ausência de programas eficazes de monitoramento e vigilância dos vetores, além do uso intensivo de inseticidas, o que pode levar ao surgiment...

Avaliação e planejamento de atividades de controle da doença de Chagas utilizando ferramentas geoespaciais Autores

Saúde Geoespacial; 14 (786), 2019
Chagas continues to be a relevant public health problem in Latin America. In this work, we present a spatiotemporal analysis applied for the evaluation and planning of Chagas vector control strategies. We analysed the spatial distribution of the vector Triatoma infestans infestation related to ongoing co...

Type 1 cardiorenal syndrome in a patient with an acute infection caused by Trypanosoma cruzi in the Brazilian Amazon region - a case report

Abstract Cardiorenal syndrome type 1 (CRS 1) occurs when acute heart failure leads to acute kidney injury. There are several etiologies of CRS 1, including Chagas disease. Here, we present the first case report of CRS 1 in a patient with acute Chagas disease. Electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardio...

Using a Chagas disease hospital database: a clinical and epidemiological patient profile

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease (CD) prevention and control rely on studies of its distribution, characteristics of individuals affected and mode of transmission. CD data in Brazil are scarce; a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of 80 patients treated at the Clinical Hospital ...

Chagas disease reactivation: cutaneous manifestations in a transplanted patient

An. bras. dermatol; 93 (6), 2018
Abstract: Chagas disease is an endemic zoonosis caused by a protozoan agent called Trypanosoma cruzi. It is mainly transmitted by a hematophagous vector, and less frequently by blood transfusion, transplacental and solid organ transplant. In most cases, primary infection is not diagnosed and the disease ...
