Wild Triatoma infestans, a potential threat that needs to be monitored
2009
Noireau, François
This paper provides an overview of current knowledge (2009) regarding T. infestans wild foci in Bolivia. The sylvatic ecology and the role of wild T. infestans in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi are still poorly understood despite the number and diversity of foci recorded. The key question regarding the threat represented by wild populations of T. infestans is whether they can recolonize insecticide-treated villages and thus jeopardise control efforts. The paper examines current considerations of the epidemiological significance of wild T. infestans.
