Spatial Distribution of Triatoma guasayana (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in Hardwood Forest Biotopes in Santiago del Estero, Argentina
In the study area Triatoma guasayana Wygodzinsky & Abalos is the only wild triatomine found sympatric with Triatoma infestans (Klug) in peridomestic premises. The Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas wild cycle is centered around the same biotopes occupied by T. guasayana, which are also visited mainly by o...
