Trypanosoma cruzi in the Peruvian High Jungle
This study illustrates that secondary triatomine vector species, such as Pantrongylus liganrius, seen in this image, are responsible for a significant burden of Chagas disease. This species, P. lignarius, is known to inhabit both domestic and sylvatic ecotopes, and was the only vector species collected in this study. Levy et al.
