Location of Comodoro Rivadavia (Chubut) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I haplotype frequencies among Triatoma infestans bugs in provinces in Argentina and departments in Bolivia. Colors and patterns in circles indicate frequencies of each haplotype in an area. The haplotype of the bug from southern Patagonia (x) is indicated in red. Shared haplotypes between Argentina and Bolivia are indicated in blue (haplotype c) and green (haplotype n). Yellow areas indicate provinces surveyed. Gray sha
