Abstract excerpt
Monitored biclonal densities of parasites were offered to third-stage larvae of Triatoma infestans via an artificial feeding device and 30 days later, the gut contents of the insects were processed for microscopic examination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of Trypanosoma cruzi kinetoplast DNA [kDNA]). A total of 15 mixtures involving nine different stocks attributed to the 19/20, 32 and 39 major...
