Abstract excerpt
In Bolivia, the Gran Chaco ecoregion suffers from serious problems of house reinfestation with Triatoma infestans despite vector control by insecticides spraying. In order to identify the origin of the triatomines collected after spraying, the genetic structure of T. infestans populations collected in four neighboring villages, before and after spraying, was analyzed using ITS-2 and mtCytB sequencing. Before...
