Unexpected failures to control chagas disease vectors with pyrethroid spraying in Northern Argentina
(Entomological Society of America, 2012-11)
Effectiveness of the elimination efforts against Triatoma infestans (Klug) in South America through residual application of pyrethroid insecticides has been highly variable in the Gran Chaco region. We investigated apparent ...
Novel repellents for the blood-sucking insects Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans, vectors of Chagas disease
(BioMed Central, 2020-03)
Background: Studying the behavioral response of blood-sucking disease-vector insects to potentially repellent volatile compounds could shed light on the development of new control strategies. Volatiles released by human ...
