    • Modeling the spatial distribution of Chagas disease vectors using environmental variables and people´s knowledge 
      Hernández, Jaime; Núñez, Ignacia; Bacigalupo, Antonella; Cattan Ayala, Pedro (BioMed Central, 2013)
      Background: Chagas disease is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to mammal hosts by triatomine insect vectors. The goal of this study was to model the spatial distribution of triatomine species ...
    • The parasite load of Trypanosoma cruzi modulates feeding and defecation patterns of the chagas disease ... 
      Chacón Olivos, Francisco Javier; Bacigalupo Bacigalupo, Antonella Eugenia; Álvarez Duhart, Bárbara Raquel; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto Antonio; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina (MDPI, 2022)
      Trypanosoma cruzi is the causal agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic zoonosis transmitted mainly through the feces of triatomine insects. Triatoma infestans is the main triatomine vector of this disease in South America. ...
    • Trypanosoma cruzi parasite load modulates the circadian activity pattern of triatoma infestans 
      Chacón Olivos, Francisco Javier; Muñoz San Martín, Catalina; Bacigalupo Bacigalupo, Antonella Eugenia; Álvarez Duhart, Bárbara Raquel; Solís Muñoz, Rigoberto Antonio; Cattan Ayala, Pedro Eduardo (MDPI, 2022)
      Simple Summary We studied the locomotor activity of one of the kissing bug species that transmit the Chagas disease-causing parasite in humans, which usually bites during the night. To date, no other reports researching ...
