Abstract excerpt
Triatomine vectors were collected on human dwellings in Michoacán México. Blood meal sources were identified by real time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) using DNA extracted from triatomine guts. The assay was performed with one only specific primer set to amplify a fragment of the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal gene from vertebrate species. Also Trypanosoma cruzi parasites were detected in triatomine gut samples...
