C. | Public Library of Science | 2020-06-10T18:12:17ZBACKGROUND: Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in South America. As in all hematophagous arthropods, its saliva contains a complex cocktail that assists blood feeding by preventing platelet aggregation and blood clotting an[...]texto impreso

The Ministry of Health has conducted a series of mass dog vaccination campaigns to contain the outbreak, but canine rabies virus transmission continues in Ar[...]texto impreso
Salazar, Renzo ; Castillo-Neyra, Ricardo ; Tustin, Aaron W. ; Borrini-Mayori, Katty ; Náquira, César ; Levy, Michael Z. | American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene | 2019-02-06T14:57:43ZPopulations of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, have recently undergone explosive growth. Bed bugs share many important traits with triatomine insects, but it remains unclear whether these similarities include the ability to transmit Trypa[...]texto impreso

Central to the focus on behavior has been a growing understanding of how the human brain makes decisions, from motivations and mindsets to uncon[...]texto impreso
Levy, Michael Z. ; Tustin, Aaron ; Castillo-Neyra, Ricardo ; Mabud, Tarub S. ; Levy, Katelyn ; Barbu, Corentin M. ; Quispe-Machaca, Victor R. ; Ancca-Juarez, Jenny ; Borrini-Mayori, Katty ; Naquira-Velarde, Cesar ; Ostfeld, Richard S. | The Royal Society | 2019-02-06T14:53:12ZFaeces-mediated transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi (the aetiological agent of Chagas disease) by triatomine insects is extremely inefficient. Still, the parasite emerges frequently, and has infected millions of people and domestic animals. We syn[...]texto impreso
Dornakova, Veronika ; Salazar-Sanchez, Renzo ; Borrini-Mayori, Katty ; Carrion-Navarro, Oscar ; Levy, Michael Z. ; Schaub, Gunter A. ; Schwarz, Alexandra | Public Library of Science | 2020-06-10T18:12:16ZBACKGROUND: Salivary proteins of Triatoma infestans elicit humoral immune responses in their vertebrate hosts. These immune responses indicate exposure to triatomines and thus can be a useful epidemiological tool to estimate triatomine infesta[...]texto impreso

As the number and size of urban environments increase globally, it [...]texto impreso
Castillo Neyra, Ricardo ; Levy, Michael Z. ; Náquira, César | Instituto Nacional de Salud | 2019-02-06T14:51:18ZEn la ciudad de Arequipa, Perú, se han detectado perros con rabia desde marzo de 2015, señal de la reintroducción del virus de la rabia (VR) en esta zona previamente declarada libre de esta enfermedad. La alta densidad de perros vagabundos ha si[...]texto impreso
