These polymorphic molecular markers could be particularly useful in Chagas disease control initiatives. A wider applicability of the primer-pairs isolated was shown, from 6 to 10 loci being amplifiable in five out of the ten Rhodnius species tested, namely R. domesticus, R. nasutus, R. neglectus, R. neivai and R. robustus. Interestingly, all the loci were amplified in the latter. These markers may be of interest to trace the colonization of human dwellings from triatomine sylvatic populations in order to better define epidemiological risk patterns. 052
