Towards environmental detection of Chagas disease vectors and pathogen

2021-12-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Accurate surveillance of triatomine household infestation is crucial for Chagas disease vector control. However, no gold standard detection method with high levels of sensitivity or specificity is currently available. Several intrinsic features of triatomine bug behaviour and the lifecycle of Trypanosoma (T . ) cruzi lead to deposition of environmental DNA (eDNA) in infested houses. This study...
