“…25 Sequencing of cytochrome b of seven intestinal content samples from triatomines was carried out as previously described. 26 Sequences were visualized and edited using BioEdit software (Tom Hall Ibis Biosciences, Carlsbad, CA), and the identification of the blood meal source was done comparing the homology of the sequences obtained with the sequences in the nucleotide BLAST database (http://blast .ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/).…”

Abstract. The elimination of domestic triatomines is the foundation of Chagas disease control. Regional initiatives are eliminating introduced triatomine species. In this scenario, endemic triatomines can occupy the ecological niches left open and become a threat to long-term Chagas disease control efforts. This study determined the abundance, colonization, and Trypanosoma cruzi infection rate of the endemic Panstrongylus howardi in 10 rural communities located in Ecuador's Manabí Province. In total, 518 individuals of P. howardi were collected. Infestation indices of 1.4% and 6.6% were found in the domestic and peridomestic environments, respectively. We determined a T. cruzi infection rate of 53.2% (N = 47) in this species. P. howardi has a high capacity to adapt to different habitats, especially in the peridomicile. This implies a considerable risk of transmission because of the frequency of intradomicile invasion. Therefore, this species needs to be taken into account in Chagas control and surveillance efforts in the region.

“…Degenerated primers: cyt_bb1 (5´-CCA TCM AAC ATY TCA DCA TGA TGA AA-3´) and cyt_bb2 (5´-GCH CCT CAG AAT GAY ATT TGK CCT CA-3)were used (Svobodova et al 2009). PCR was carried out with 70 ng of DNA in a final volume of 25 μl: 1x Buffer (Roche®, Basel, Switzerland), 1.5 mM MgCl 2 (Roche®, Basel, Switzerland), 100 µM dNTPs mixture (10 mM, Roche®, Basel, Switzerland), AmpliTaqGold (Roche®, Basel, Switzerland), 1 μl of BSA DNAse Free (20 mg/ml, Roche®, Basel, Switzerland).…”

“…In this region, Phlebotomus tobbi Adler, Theodor et Lourie 1930 was found to be the most abundant (71.3%) species while P. sergenti Parrot 1917, the proven vector of L. tropica in Turkey represented only 3% of the sand fly fauna (Simsek et al 2007). According to the results of recent investigations on the identification of vector species in this region, Leishmania infantum Nicolle 1908 was isolated in a CL focus from both P. tobbi specimens and local human patients for the first time (Svobodová et al 2009). All these data show that extensive studies on the population density, seasonal population dynamics and circadian activity of sand fly species including P. tobbi are needed to improve our knowledge of leishmaniasis transmission dynamics in this area.…”
