Reintroductions—captive-born animals introduced into the species’ original distribution area—and translocations—free-living animals transferred to another location within the historical distribution area—are important ...

BACKGROUND: The major Neotropical malaria vector, Anopheles darlingi, was reintroduced into the Iquitos, Loreto, Peru area during the early 1990s, where it displaced other anophelines and caused a major malaria epidemic. ...

Studies about habitat fragmentation, in terms of how it affects gene flow and genetic variability, have traditionally been conducted on island-like systems in which the remaining habitats form patches embedded in a matrix. ...

Factors modeling the population genetic structure are of major importance when species involved in the transmission of zoonoses are considered. The long-tailed pygmy rice rat or ‘colilargo’ Oligoryzomys longicaudatus is a ...

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 ...

Background: Despite the large burden of Plasmodium vivax, little is known about its transmission dynamics. This study explored the population structure and spatio-temporal dynamics of P. vivax recurrent infections after ...
