Modelling the potential geographic distribution of triatomines infected by Triatoma virus in the southern cone of South America

摘要

BackgroundTriatoma virus (TrV) is the only entomopathogenous virus identified in triatomines. We estimated the potential geographic distribution of triatomine species naturally infected by TrV, using remotely sensed and meteorological environmental variables, to predict new potential areas where triatomines infected with TrV may be found.
