An outbreak of pyrethroid resistance was recently detected in Triatoma infestans from northern Argentina. To analyze the inheritance of the resistant phenotype, we carried out experimental crosses between resistant (R) and susceptible (S) strains captured in Argentina during 2005. The R strain was c
For about half of all Chagas disease cases T. infestans has been the responsible vector. Contributing to its genetic knowledge will increase our understanding of the capacity of geographic expansion and domiciliation of triatomines. Populations of all infestans subcomplex species, T. infestans, T. d
Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease in the southern cone countries, is the principal target of a regional elimination program. A better understanding of its dispersal, sources of reinfestation, and insecticide resistance is key to an effective control program. To address such probl
