Epicuticular lipids induce aggregation in Chagas disease vectors
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The triatomine bugs are vectors of the protozoan parasite <it>Trypanosoma cruzi</it>, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Aggregation behavior plays an important role in their survival by facilitating the location of r...
