Abstract INTRODUCTION: Studying the feeding preferences of triatomines is an important entomological surveillance tool, since continuous surveillance of the disease is necessary. METHODS: The precipitin reaction was used to describe the feeding preferences of triatomines along with their natural infe...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study reports, for the first time, the presence of Panstrongylus lignarius in the State of Rondonia, Brazil. METHODS: Specimen of P. lignarius was collected from a flat in an urban area of the municipality of Porto Velho, Western Amazon. RESULTS: With this finding of P. lig...
We describe the eleventh major outbreak of foodborne Trypanosoma cruzi transmission in urban Venezuela, including evidence for vertical transmission from the index case to her fetus. After confirming fetal death at 24 weeks of gestation, pregnancy interruption was performed. On direct examination of the ...

Chagas disease remains highly prevalent in Chile, especially between the regions of Arica and Parinacota, and Coquimbo. Since 1999 it is considered that in Chile the vector transmission was interrupted. Under this premise, the epidemiological dynamics should be changing. We analyzed the evolution of the ...
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Panstrongylus herreri is a main Chagas disease vector, and its success as a vector stems from its ability to establish domiciliated colonies; we aimed to explore its biology and reproduction. METHODS: The average amount of blood ingested and the time from the beginning of a blo...
Abstract: Residual insecticide spraying still is the main tool used to suppress house infestations with Chagas disease vectors. While manual compression sprayers (MCS) have traditionally been used in Latin America, Mendoza's vector control program from Argentina introduced the use of a modified motorized...
surgindo em um cenário não habitual, relacionado com a forma de transmissão. Atualmente, a transmissão por via oral envolvendo alimentos contaminados é a principal via de infecção humana, com surtos em toda a América Latina. Entre os sintomas da fase aguda, destacam-se febre prolongada, quase sem...
