摘要: Abstract This chapter on Population Genetics of Triatominae highlights current knowledge and open questions in this field. genetic analyses help design evidence-based vector control strategies by identifying quantifying barriers to gene flow among nearby populations, inferring sources reinfestation after insecticide treatment, distinguishing epidemiologically relevant subpopulations, examining the evolution spread resistance. We highlight importance population genetics epidemiology explain how empirical estimation methods can infer evolutionary ecological processes drift, migration, mutation, selection. Valuable contributions from studies efforts are highlighted potential genome-wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms data high throughput sequencing technologies discussed. an important tool us better understand disease epidemiology, thus surveillance interrupt parasite transmission.
