Estructura poblacional y variabilidad genética de Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) procedente de diferentes áreas geográficas de Colombia

Abstract: Introducción. Rhodnius prolixus es el vector más importante de la enfermedad de Chagas en Colombia. La caracterización genética de esta especie resulta útil para comprender su potencial de dispersión. La distribución del vector y la estructura genética de sus poblaciones, son factores importantes para implementar de manera adecuada las estrategias de control y vigilancia epidemiológica de la enfermedad de Chagas. Objetivo. Establecer relaciones genéticas entre poblaciones de R. prolixus capturadas en diferente… Show more

“…The later is mostly domestic and does not show significant genetic structure across several eco-geographical regions (López et al, 2007). The relatively homogenous populations could be potentially eliminated effectively with the appropriate use of chemical control measurements (López et al, 2007). However, T. dimidiata presents sylvatic populations across its geographical distribution within the country.…”

“…Chagas disease is a public health problem in 17 countries of Latin America [ 13 ]. In Colombia, the prevalence of Chagas disease is estimated to be approximately 5% [ 14 ], and the main species of triatomines involved in the transmission of this disease are Rhodnius prolixus , Triatoma dimidiata , Triatoma maculata and Triatoma venosa [ 15 ].…”
