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 ...
Enfermedad de Chagas
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2020-11-12)
El objetivo de este video es presentar una breve explicación sobre la enfermedad de Chagas, una zoonosis ocasionada por el protozoario Tripanosoma cruzi, que afecta a más de 100 mamíferos incluyendo al ser humano. Se señala ...

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 ...
Chagas' disease: Risk factors for house infestation by Triatoma dimidiata, the major vector of Trypanosoma cruzi in Costa Rica
(The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health., 1991)
The reduction of domiciliary infestation by insect vectors, the key to controlling Chagas' disease, depends on identification of housing features associated with infestation. In this study, log-linear modeling was used to ...
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
after environmental modifications in the peridomestic areas of 20 households. It was verified that the two ...
Environmental management for the control of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811), (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Costa Rica: a pilot project
(Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2006-06)
An ecological control method, using environmental management operations, based on biological and behavioral characteristics of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811), was implemented as a pilot project in an area of Costa ...
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 ...
Host life history strategy, species diversity, and habitat influence Trypanosoma cruzi vector infection in changing landscapes
(PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2012-11-15)
Background: Anthropogenic land use may influence transmission of multi-host vector-borne pathogens by changing
diversity, relative abundance, and community composition of reservoir hosts. These reservoir hosts may have ...
