Ecological patterns of blood-feeding by kissing-bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae)
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2011-06)
Host use by vectors is important in understanding the transmission of zoonotic diseases, which can affect hu mans, wildlife and domestic animals. Here, a synthesis of host exploitation patterns by kissing-bugs, vectors of ...
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 ...
Entomological and Ecological Aspects of Six Sylvatic Species of Triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) from the Collection of the National Biodiversity Institute of Costa Rica, Central America
(Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001)
A total of 797 specimens of wild adult triatomines, belonging to six species from the entomological
collections of the Costa Rican National Biodiversity Institute, was studied from the standpoint of their

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 ...

nitropropene (N2), 1-(5-bromo-2-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N3) and 1-(4-bromo-2-thienyl)-2-nitropropene (N4), ...
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 ...
Nestedness patterns of sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) species in a neotropical semi-arid environment
(Elsevier, 2016)
A common pattern in neotropical Leishmania spp. transmission is the co-occurrence of several sand fly
(SF) species at endemic foci. We collected 13 SF spp. by direct aspiration in natural resting places (NRP)
and 10 SF ...
