(2021-11-18)Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. They exhibit stercorarian transmission, in which T. cruzi is transmitted via fecal contamination to the host. Differential feeding and ...
-
(2019-07-09)In the southern U.S., triatomine vectors maintain Trypanosoma cruzi- the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease in humans and animals- in sylvatic cycles. Infection with T. cruzi may be asymptomatic or lead to heart ...

(2016-10-14)This dissertation focused on elucidating factors affecting Trypanosoma cruzi transmission in the southern US, using triatomine, canine, and wildlife samples. Collection of triatomine vectors from 2012-2015 included ...
-
(2017-07-08)Trypanosoma cruzi, agent of Chagas disease, is a zoonotic vector-borne protozoan that infects mammalian hosts throughout the Americas. Spillover from sylvatic cycles occurs when triatomine vectors bridge the parasite from ...
