Abstract excerpt

Triatoma infestans is the main and most widespread vector of Chagas disease in South America. For the first time, a large sample of sylvatic populations of T. infestans was analyzed by ITS-2 and mtCytB sequencing. ITS-2 showed a low level of polymorphism but revealed a dichotomy between the Andean and non-Andean sylvatic populations. On the contrary, mtCytB sequences showed a high polymorphism (19 haplotypes...
