Video Introduction

This video is adapted from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJflzrSfXF4

In this video, we join Scott Tytheridge to learn about the biology of Triatomine bugs. There are 140 known species of triatomines, and these bugs are the primary vector of Chagas disease, which is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.

All thanks and gratitude to the scientists and scholars at the LSHTM for sharing their knowledge.
