Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, exhibits great genetic diversity, which has been related to its biological properties. However, these are poorly known in strains from endemic area Hidalgo. To assess parasite’s virulence, we evaluated parasitemia, mortality, and tropism thirteen organs CD1 mice during acute phase infection. For genotyping, amplified mini-exon gene T. cruzi DNA using PCR. All five isolates were identified as belonging DTU TcI. The peak parasitemia...
In order to determine the risk of transmission Trypanosoma cruzi by triatomines in Metztitlan municipality, Hidalgo State, Mexico, entomological indexes were calculated and characteristics dwellings described.A transversal, retrospective, descriptive, observational study was performed means an intentional not probabilistic expertise sampling from January December 2005 10 localities which presence investigated either intra or peridomestic environmental 699 houses.Building material infected...
Triatoma pallidipennis is an exclusive and widely distributed species in Mexico one of the three main vectors that transmit Chagas disease country. The state Hidalgo endemic area for where presence several triatomines has been reported. objective our work was to describe morphology, colonization process, reproductive behavior T. Guadalupe, Tecozautla, two years after first collection a specimen this region. A total 28 specimens collected at both domicile peridomicile, showing 17.8% infection...
Chagas disease represents a significant public health problem in Mexico. In the state of Hidalgo, studies on presence triatomines are scarce and restricted to few locations. To determine risk transmission Hidalgo stratify vector potential, distribution Triatominae was surveyed from 2015 2016 collaboration with primary care services local communities. A total 570 specimens collected 278 houses 25 municipalities. The species detected were T. dimidiata 391 samples, mexicana 159 gerstaeckeri 17...
Background: We report the presence of Triatoma longipennis for first time in two localities Hidalgo, Mexico. Methods: This study was conducted at Tecozautla municipality, Hidalgo. Collection performed April 2022. Results: collected eight triatomines from Guadalupe: fourth-instar nymphs, three fifth-instar one female, and males. In San Miguel Caltepantla, a female inside dwelling. One sample tested positive Trypanosoma cruzi. Conclusions: These findings suggest need to investigate dynamics...
