Molecular characterization of Trypanosoma cruzi and infection rate of the vector Triatoma dimidiate in Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2012-06-30)
According to the genetic characterization by the analysis of the miniexon gene, strains of Trypanosoma cruzi can be classified into six discrete typing units (DTUs), and the DTU 1 into four distinct genotypes associated ...
Chagas disease in dogs from endemic areas of Costa Rica
(Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002-06)
Dogs with the presumptive diagnosis of Chagas disease are commonly sent to our School of Veterinary Medicine by independent veterinarians. This prompted us to evaluate the prevalence of canine trypanosomiasis in some ...
Distribution and ecological aspects of Rhodnius pallescens in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and their epidemiological implications
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006)
In light of the Central American Initiative for the control of Chagas disease, efforts were made on the part of
Costa Rican and Nicaraguan teams, working separately, to determine the present status of Rhodnius pallescens ...
Ecological control of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811): five years after a Costa Rican pilot project
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008)
An ecological pilot project for the control of Triatoma dimidiata allowed a new evaluation four and five years

Evidence of colonization of man-made ecotopes by Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811) in Costa Rica
(Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001-07)
Triatoma dimidiata adults have been frequently found, during the last five years, in a dog kennel and
a chicken coop, in the back yard of a well-built house, 15 km from San José, the capital of Costa Rica.
In the chicken ...
