Distribution of Pyrethroid Resistant Populations of Triatoma infestans in the Southern Cone of South America.
BACKGROUND:A number of studies published during the last 15 years showed the occurrence of insecticide resistance in Triatoma infestans populations. The different toxicological profiles and mechanisms of resistance to insecticides is due to a genetic base and environmental factors, being the insecti...
