Microsatellites reveal a high population structure in Triatoma infestans from Chuquisaca, Bolivia.
For Chagas disease, the most serious infectious disease in the Americas, effective disease control depends on elimination of vectors through spraying with insecticides. Molecular genetic research can help vector control programs by identifying and characterizing vector populations and then developin...
