Cultivation-independent methods reveal differences among bacterial gut microbiota in triatomine vectors of Chagas disease.
BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is a trypanosomiasis whose agent is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by hematophagous bugs known as triatomines. Even though insecticide treatments allow effective control of these bugs in most Latin American countries where Chagas d...
