Vectores de leishmaniasis en las AméricasLeishmaniasis vectors in the Americas
(Fundación Oswaldo Cruz, 2009-12)
Se realizó la revisión de los artículos sobre vectores de leishmaniasis en América, publicados e indexados entre el año 2004 y el 10 de julio del 2009. Se discriminaron según los temas: identificación de especies, incriminación ...
Chagas disease vector control and Taylor's law
(Public Library of Science, 2017-11)
Background: Large spatial and temporal fluctuations in the population density of living organisms have profound consequences for biodiversity conservation, food production, pest control and disease control, especially ...
Ecological and physiological thermal niches to understand distribution of Chagas disease vectors in Latin America
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-03)
In order to assess how triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), Chagas disease vectors, are distributed through Latin America, we analysed the relationship between the ecological niche and the limits of the physiological thermal ...
MVAΔ008 viral vector encoding the model protein OVA induces improved immune response against the heterologous antigen and equal levels of protection in a mice tumor model than the conventional MVA
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Modified vaccinia Ankara virus (MVA) is extensively used as a vaccine vector. We have previously observed that MVAΔ008, an MVA lacking the gene that codes for interleukin-18 binding protein, significantly increases CD8+ ...
Rural houses infestation by Triatoma infestans in northwestern Argentina: Vector control in a high spatial heterogeneous infestation area
(Public Library of Science, 2018-08)
Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a vector of the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, causative agent of Chagas disease. During the last decade, vector control activities have been systematically carried out in ...
Insights from quantitative and mathematical modelling on the proposed WHO 2030 goals for Chagas disease
(Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2019-12)
Chagas disease (CD) persists as one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with a particularly large impact in the Americas. The World Health Organization (WHO) recently proposed goals for CD elimination as a public ...
Influence of Vectors' Risk-Spreading Strategies and Environmental Stochasticity on the Epidemiology and Evolution of Vector-Borne Diseases: The Example of Chagas' Disease
(Public Library of Science, 2013-08)
Insects are known to display strategies that spread the risk of encountering unfavorable conditions, thereby decreasing the extinction probability of genetic lineages in unpredictable environments. To what extent these ...
Leptolegnia chapmanii como alternativa biológica para el control de Aedes aegypti
(Inst Nacional Salud, 2019-12)
Leptolegnia chapmanii is a facultative pathogen of many species of mosquitoes, among which species of the genus Aedes, Culex and Anopheles stand out for their medical and sanitary importance. The potential of L. chapmanii ...
Seroprevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection and vector control activities in rural communities of the southern Gran Chaco (Argentina)
(Elsevier Science, 2010-03)
We compared age-related seroprevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection with history of vector control interventions and social and ecological changes in three historically endemic departments of Cordoba province, Argentina, ...
Rethinking the old hypothesis that new housing construction has an impact on the vector control of Triatoma infestans: A metapopulation analysis
(Elsevier Science, 2020-12)
Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a hematophagous insect, vector of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, etiological agent of the Chagas disease. In the south of La Rioja, Argentina, the persistent infestation by ...
