Spatial epidemiology and adaptive targeted sampling to manage the Chagas disease vector Triatoma dimidiata.
Widespread application of insecticide remains the primary form of control for Chagas disease in Central America, despite only temporarily reducing domestic levels of the endemic vector Triatoma dimidiata and having little long-term impact. Recently, an approach emphasizing community feedback and hou...
