Bacterial Symbionts of the Triatominae and Their Potential Use in Control of Chagas Disease Transmission

1 Jan 2002

Abstract excerpt

Chagas disease is caused by the parasitic protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by insects in the family Reduviidae, subfamily Triatominae, commonly known as kissing bugs. Because these insects feed throughout their entire developmental cycle on vertebrate blood, they harbor populations of symbiotic bacteria in their intestinal track that produce nutrients that are lacking in the insects' limited diet. It...
