Journal ArticleDOI
Insecticide resistance of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) vector of Chagas disease in Bolivia.
TL;DR: The objective is to define the insecticide resistance status of Triatoma infestans to deltamethrin (pyrethroid), malathion (organophosphate) and bendiocarb (carbamate) in Bolivia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A physiological time analysis of the duration of the gonotrophic cycle of Anopheles pseudopunctipennis and its implications for malaria transmission in Bolivia.
TL;DR: A new presentation of cycle length results taking into account the number of ovipositing nights and the proportion of mosquitoes laying eggs is suggested, which allows the inclusion of temperature effects on the gonotrophic cycle in transmission models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host choice and human blood index of Anopheles pseudopunctipennis in a village of the Andean valleys of Bolivia
TL;DR: The low antropophily of An.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Although most of the wild populations were found to be susceptible to deltamethrin, three populations from three departments showed a mortality rate of less than 100%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental control of Triatoma infestans in poor rural villages of Bolivia through community participation.
TL;DR: Even if cleaning activities were still neglected, community participation proved to be effective in reducing house infestation, and mud wall coating could be proposed as a supplementary tool to the National Program of Chagas Disease Control to enhance the effects of insecticide sprayings.
