High infection rates of Triatoma dimidiata are associated with low levels of Trypanosoma cruzi seroprevalence in Pedro Carbo, Ecuador. Use of a tc24 gene-based PCR approach
In control programs for vectorial transmission of Chagas’ disease, conventional microscopic procedures are generally performed to determine baseline levels of infectivity of vectors. Reported here are data using Polymerase Chain Reaction in the detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in Triatoma dimidiata, o...
