<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> Parasite Burdens of Several Triatomine Species in Colombia

<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> Parasite Burdens of Several Triatomine Species in Colombia

<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>, the causal agent of Chagas disease, is mainly transmitted by insects of the Triatominae subfamily. In Colombia, there are 26 triatomine species, and 16 of them are naturally infected with the parasite. The parasite loads of naturally infected vectors can be sign...
