2b-RAD genotyping for population genomic studies of Chagas disease vectors: Rhodnius ecuadoriensis in Ecuador

Costales Cordero, Jaime Alfredo; Ocaña Mayorga, Sofía Beatriz; Villacis Salazar, Anita Gabriela; Yumiseva Marín, César Alberto (2017)

Rhodnius ecuadoriensis is the main triatomine vector of Chagas disease, American trypanosomiasis, in Southern Ecuador and Northern Peru. Genomic approaches and next generation sequencing technologies have become powerful ...
Abundance, Natural Infection with Trypanosomes, and Food Source of an Endemic Species of Triatomine, Panstrongylus howardi (Neiva 1911), on the Ecuadorian Central Coast

Baus Carrera, Esteban Guillermo; Grijalva Cobo, Mario Javier; Ocaña Mayorga, Sofía Beatriz; Villacis Salazar, Anita Gabriela; Yumiseva Marín, César Alberto (2015)

The elimination of domestic triatomines is the foundation of Chagas disease control. Regional initiatives are eliminating introduced triatomine species. In this scenario, endemic triatomines can occupy the ecological niches ...
Chagas Disease Has Not Been Controlled in Ecuador

Costales Cordero, Jaime Alfredo (2016-06-28)

A recent study by Cartelle Gestal et al. reported an analysis of data from the Ministry of Public Health on the epidemiological situation of neglected tropical diseases in Ecuador. Based on a misleading definition of Chagas ...
Chagas disease reactivation in a heart transplant patient infected by domestic Trypanosoma cruzi discrete typing unit I (TcIDOM)

Costales Cordero, Jaime Alfredo (25/08/2015)

Background: Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease, displays high intraspecific genetic diversity: six genetic lineages or discrete typing units (DTUs) are currently recognized, termed TcI through TcVI. Each ...
Chagas vectors Panstrongylus chinai (Del Ponte, 1929) and Panstrongylus howardi (Neiva, 1911): chromatic forms or true species?

Villacis Salazar, Anita Gabriela; Yumiseva Marín, César Alberto (2020-05-06)

Background: Chagas disease is a parasitic infection transmitted by “kissing bugs” (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) that has a huge economic impact in Latin American countries. The vector species with the upmost ...
Comprehensive survey of domiciliary triatomine species capable of transmitting Chagas Disease in southern Ecuador

Grijalva Cobo, Mario Javier; Villacís Salazar, Anita Gabriela; Yumiseva Marín, César Alberto; Moncayo Benalcázar, Ana Lucía; Baus Carrera, Esteban Guillermo; Ocaña Mayorga, Sofía Beatriz (06/10/2015)

Chagas disease is a major health problem in Latin America. Its infectious agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted mainly by the feces of insects called triatomines. Although great progress has been made in reducing ...
Congenital Chagas Disease in the ecuadorian amazon: maternal screening at delivery and evaluation of risk factors associated with vector exposure

Costales Cordero, Jaime Alfredo (2019)

Congenital infection with Trypanosoma cruzi remains a major route for Chagas disease transmission in endemic and non-endemic regions. We evaluated an intervention strategy aimed to detect congenital Chagas disease cases ...
Determinants of intentions to prevent triatomine infestation based on the health belief model: An application in rural southern Ecuador

Villacis Salazar, Anita Gabriela (2020)

Introduction: Control of triatomine infestation is a key strategy for the prevention of Chagas disease (CD). To promote this strategy, it is important to know which antecedents to behavioral change are the best to emphasize ...
Diseño y desarrollo de un videojuego Educativo mediante una metodología ágil, como herramienta orientada a niños de 7 a 11 años para la prevención de la enfermedad de Chagas

Rodríguez Clavijo, Francisco; Villacis Salazar, Anita Gabriela (2020)

Chagas disease (CD) is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by the feces of Triatomine insects. The absence of treatments and effective vaccines makes this disease not only a medical problem, but also an educational, ...
A national survey to determine prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection among pregnant women in Ecuador

Costales Cordero, Jaime Alfredo; Yumiseva Marín, César Alberto (09/02/2015)

A nationwide survey was conducted to obtain an estimate of Chagas disease prevalence among pregnant women in Ecuador. As part of a national probability sample, 5,420 women seeking care for delivery or miscarriage at 15 ...
