Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The current persistence of Triatoma infestans (one of the main vectors of Chagas disease) in some domestic areas could be related to re-colonization by wild populations which are increasingly reported. However, the infection rate and the genetic characterization of the Trypanosoma cruzi strains infecting these populations are very limited. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Of 333 wild Triatoma infestans...
