Triatomine vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi: a molecular perspective based on nuclear ribosomal DNA markers
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) is mainly transmitted by blood-sucking bugs of the reduviid subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Prosorrhyncha). Control strategies are directed mainly against these insect vectors, as no vaccine is available and, except in the very early stage of infection, there is no effective chemótherapy. Studies of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) will lead to major advances in our...
