Abstract excerpt
Triatoma brasiliensis is the most important Chagas disease vector in semiarid areas of Northeastern Brazil. Although generally found in natural environment, it regularly colonizes or reinvades domiciliary ecotopes. In order to analyse gene flow between habitats, we identified and characterized six microsatellite loci using a microsatellite-enriched genomic library. To assess the usefulness of these...
