Thermal performance of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans, under thermal variability

Abstract excerpt

Vector-borne diseases (VBD) are particularly susceptible to climate change because most of the diseases' vectors are ectotherms, which themselves are susceptible to thermal changes. The Chagas disease is one neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma cruzi.
