Abstract excerpt

Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, remains a major public health problem in Latin America. In endemic countries, transmission to humans is primarily mediated by infected triatomine bugs. In this study, we investigated the molecular epidemiology of T. cruzi in Triatoma dimidiata, the principal vector in El Salvador. A total of 145 T. cruzi DNA samples were obtained from T....
