(Entomological Society of America., 1998-03)
Eleven Central American populations of Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz & Neiva) were analyzed for genetic variation at 16 enzyme loci. The aim was to study the genetic structure among populations within this region and to ...
Some Morphological and Molecular Aspects of the Life Cycle of Trypansoma cruzi in the Insect Vector
(Inst Oswaldo Cruz, 1999-09)
On two occasions I have reviewed the different aspects of the life cycle of Trypanosoma cruzi
in the insect vector. In the first article (Zeledón
