The ecology and genetics of Chagas disease vectors in Ecuador, with emphasis on Rhodnius ecuadoriensis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae)

2003-01-01

Abstract excerpt

An estimate >11 million people are infected by Trypanosoma cruzi in Latin America. Chagas disease control programmes have been successful in the Southern Cone countries, and similar initiatives are underway in the Andean countries. In Ecuador prevalence is estimated as ~ 130000 people, with 2.5-3.8 million at risk; annual associated costs may reach >20 million US dollars. We studied ecological, genetic, and evolut...
