Biology, diversity and strategies for the monitoring and control of triatomines - Chagas disease vectors

“…These findings emphasise the increasing risk of Trypanosoma cruzi infection transmission in the Amazon Region (Fé et al 2009). Nevertheless, studies suggest that the degradation of sylvatic environments promotes the dislodgment of insects into new ecotopes, fundamentally affecting humans and their associated domestic animals (Forattini et al 1978, Romaña et al 2003. Unconventional vectorial transmission related to professional activity was also observed in the municipalities of Santa Isabel do Rio Negro and Barcelos, which are located in the microregion of the Negro River in the state of Amazonas.…”

Lack of Segregation between Two Species of Chagas Disease Vectors

“…In preserved forest areas, insects do not tend to invade artificial ecotopes. 7,8 However, in areas where the sylvatic environment has been highly degraded, they are found mostly in domiciliary ecotopes. 9,10 Studies on population diversity of P. megistus in different regions in Brazil reported distinct degrees of adaptation to domestic habitats.…”

Changes in nuclear phenotypes following cold shock in Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister)

“…This study was part of a thesis presented by SLG to the Instituto de Biologia, Unicamp, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master degree. + ing artificial ecotopes (Forattini et al 1978, Forattini 1980. Knowledge of how this species responds to stress is necessary not only to establish the optimal conditions for rearing specimens in the laboratory but also to evaluate the altered biological characteristics of specimens captured in natural ecotopes.…”
