Detection of Neorickettsia sp. in Oligoryzomys flavescens rodent from a protected urban area in Buenos Aires City (Argentina)
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
Rodents play an important role in vector-borne pathogens cycle. To detect Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Neorickettsia, Rickettsia and Borrelia species in rodents from a protected urban area in Buenos Aires City (Argentina) were ...
Vector competence of Argentine mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) for West Nile virus (Flaviviridae: Flavivirus)
(Entomological Society of America, 2013-04)
We examined the ability of Culex pipiens L. complex mosquitoes from Argentina to vector West Nile virus (WNV) to assess their role in the transmission of WNV in South America. Several egg rafts of Culex spp. were collected ...
A preliminary study on the effects of a transgenic corn event on the non-target pest Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)
(Elsevier, 2010-06)
The inclusion of the cry gene in corn may produce direct effects on non-target pests. Our research was focused on the relationship between Bt corn germplasm, expressing the cry1F protein to control the fall armyworm ...
An insight into the sialotranscriptome and virome of Amazonian anophelines
(BioMed Central, 2019)
Background: Saliva of mosquitoes contains anti-platelet, anti-clotting, vasodilatory, anti-complement and antiinflammatory
substances that help the blood feeding process. The salivary polypeptides are at a fast pace ...
Effects of fipronil on dogs over Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease
(Springer, 2012-10)
Chagas disease is the most important endemic disease in Latin America, mainly transmitted by Triatoma infestans in the Southern Cone countries of South America. Dogs are one of themain domestic reservoirs of Trypanosoma ...
Experimental evaluation of insecticidal paints against Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), under natural climatic conditions
(BioMed Central, 2009-07)
Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in the Gran Chaco region of South America. The traditional spraying technique used for the application of pyrethroid insecticides has shown low efficiency in the ...
Spatio-temporal genetic structure in populations of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma infestans from Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-10-21)
Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera, Reduvidae) is the main vector of Chagas disease in South America between the latitudes 10° and 46° S. The analysis of the spatial genetic structure of populations at fine scale can provide ...
Current status of virus-vectored vaccines against pathogens that affect poultry
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
The most effective strategies for the control of disease in poultry are vaccination and biosecurity. Vaccines useful against pathogens affecting poultry must be safe, effective with a single dose, inexpensive, applicable ...
Seasonality and temperature-dependent flight dispersal of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) and other vectors of Chagas disease in Western Argentina
(Entomological Society of America, 2017-09)
Flight dispersal of Triatominae is affected by climatic conditions and determines the spatiotemporal patterns of house invasion and transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae). We investigated ...
Leptolegnia chapmanii (Straminipila: Peronosporomycetes) as a future biorational tool for the control of Aedes aegypti (L.)
(Elsevier Science, 2017-05)
The aim of the present review is to summarize the current knowledge about Leptolegnia chapmanii as a pathogen of mosquito larvae. To this end, we present data on its identification, distribution, host range and effects on ...
