Reactivation of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission by native vectors with different domiciliation capabilities is a major concern for Chagas disease control programs . T. via intra-domestic Rhodnius prolixus was certified as interrupted the Pan American Health Organization in Miraflores municipality (Boyacá, Colombia) 2019. However, Triatoma venosa, vector infected has been increasingly found inside human dwellings across rural areas. In this study, aim to describe eco-epidemiological aspects...
<p><strong>Introducción.</strong> <em>Aedes aegypti</em> es el principal vector de fiebre amarilla urbana, dengue, chikungunya y zika. Se ha demostrado que la distribución biogeográfica esta especie se expandido debido al calentamiento global a factores socioeconómicos culturales. Los cambios en los patrones altitudinal este su infección con virus son prioridades investigación encaminada desarrollar estrategias vigilancia entomológica virológica salud...
In Colombia, dogs and opossum are the most important mammals in domestic sylvatic T. cruzi transmission. However, role of both species has not been evaluated areas where converge peridomestic area. To evaluate infection status wild habitats Puerto Valdivia, Antioquia Department. The small was performed by hemoculture, molecular serological methods. Additionally, children under 15 years old triatomine searches carried out. We found that 16.07% 34% dogs, 59.1% 61.1% Didelphis marsupialis were...
Background The transmission dynamics of leishmaniasis are complex. There is also a lack information about the ecological relationships between vector/host/parasite at more local and specific level. Andean region concentrates than 50% Colombia’s cutaneous (CL) cases. study interactions sand flies through identification blood sources has provided on female’s opportunistic behavior, feeding various hosts. Therefore, this aimed to determine flies’ with Leishmania parasites their in an endemic...
Introduction. Diverse studies at a taxonomical and molecular level suggest that Lutzomyia longipalpis, main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in Latin America, is complex species with wide distribution throughout the continent adaptation to different habitats. Objective. To carry out entomological surveillance area influence Hydroelectric Plant Miel I. Materials methods. Adhesive traps were used transect covering an approximately 400km for capture insects, which then identified using key...
Introducción: la leishmaniasis visceral (LV) es una enfermedad endémica en Colombia y aunque representa alta carga morbimortalidad, información de sus aspectos ecoepidemiológicos escasa. Método: se realizó revisión sistemática descripción del comportamiento desde el primer caso reportado 1943, hasta 2019 a partir bases datos científicas boletines epidemiológicos Sistema Nacional Vigilancia Salud Pública-SIVIGILA. Se seleccionaron 60 artículos que cumplieron con los criterios inclusión....
Abstract The community structure of sand flies indicates the level adaptation vector species in a region, and context management control, this information allows for identifying potential risks pathogen transmission. This study aimed to analyze fly diversity spatial-temporal distribution an endemic area cutaneous leishmaniasis. was carried out Carrizales hamlet (Caldas), between September 2019 October 2021. monthly evaluated through collections with CDC traps. Shannon evenness indices were...
The increase in outbreaks of Chagas disease Colombia has required the strengthening entomological surveillance with active participation affected communities and monitoring natural infection collected kissing bugs recollected inside households. Trypanosoma cruzi triatomines by inhabitants some municipalities department Antioquia 2019 was evaluated molecular methods. This study described intradomiciliary presence Panstrongylus geniculatus (Latreille, 1811) four cities Antioquia: Barbosa,...
