Phenotypic variability in traits related to flight dispersal in the wing dimorphic species Triatoma guasayana

Abstract Background Triatoma guasayana is considered an emerging vector of Chagas disease in the Southern Cone of South America. The presence of a triatomine population with brachypterous individuals, in which both wings are reduced, has recently been reported for this species. The aim of the presen...
