Sex influence on the susceptibility of Swiss mice to Trypanosoma cruzi [Influencia del sexo en la susceptibilidad de ratones Swiss a Trypanosoma cruzi]
(Boletin de Malariologia y Salud Ambiental, 2012-10-07)
Some authors have reported that female mice are more resistant to Trypanosoma cruzi infections than male mice. In order to test this hypothesis we did a comparative study using four isolates of T. cruzi from Costa Rica in ...
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 ...
Life cycle of Triatoma ryckmani (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in the laboratory, feeding patterns in nature and experimental infection with Trypanosoma cruzi
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2010-02)
A cohort initiated with 121 eggs, yielding 105 first instar nymphs (eclosion rate: 86.78%), allowed us to observe
the entire life cycle of Triatoma ryckmani under laboratory conditions (24ºC and 62% relative humidity), ...
Molecular evidence of intraspecific variability in different habitat-related populations of Triatoma dimidiata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) from Costa Rica
(Springer, 2010-02-18)
Intraspecific genetic variation among Triatoma
dimidiata (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) from seven Costa Rican
populations and from different domestic, peridomestic, and
sylvatic ecotopes were analyzed. The complete ...
