Atlas of Chagas disease vectors in the Americas
Publication year: 1998
Habitats of Triatominae bugs are important from an epidemiological point of view. Each species is related to certain environmental conditions, and its significance as a vector for Trypanosoma cruzi is often linked to its proximity to human dwellings or the infestation of houses, corrals, pigeon or chicken coops, woodpiles, and/or other peridomiciliary sites. The authors of this chapter have agreed to provide a general list of references, mostly devoted either to those publications compiling the scattered bibliography or to some specific papers where a single species was studied, giving compiled bibliography added to the original research. Despite this bibliographical condensation, the list is long enough to provide a general idea about some basic references to each species
