Abstract excerpt

The transmission dynamics of Trypanosoma cruzi in natural environments exhibit considerable variation at the micro-locality scale. However, the specific biotic and abiotic factors driving this heterogeneity remain largely unidentified. The Atlantic Forest of the state of Espírito Santo (ES) presents a unique transmission network of T. cruzi, in which Triatoma vitticeps represents the absolute majority among...
