Triatomine insects are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909), the causing agent of Chagas disease. We studied the morphological ontogenetic changes of Dipetalogaster maxima (Uhler, 1894), an endemic Chagas vector of Baja California Sur, Mexico. We

Biochemical characterization of a thrombin inhibitor from the bloodsucking bug Dipetalogaster maximus. [PDF]
From the bloodsucking bug Dipetalogaster maximus, a protein with anticoagulant activity was isolated and biochemically characterized. The isolated protein, named dipetalogastin, possesses an average molecular mass of 11.8 kD. Its N-terminal sequence shows homology to rhodniin, a thrombin inhibitor isolated from the bug Rhodnius prolixus.

Life history of two abundant populations ofDipetalogaster maximus(Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in northwestern Mexico [PDF]
We focused on the analysis of biological parameters of two different abundant populations of Dipetalogaster maximus (Uhler) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) from northwestern Mexico. The biological parameters were related to hatching of eggs, life cycle, and meal needed for molting by each instar of two populations from environmentally similar ...

Relação interespecífica entre Dipetalogaster maximus Uhler (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) e a cepa y do Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) [PDF]
Realizou-se um estudo comparativo entre a biologia de Dipetalogaster maximus Uhler infectada com a cepa Y de Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas e não infectada, para se conhecer a relação interespecífica existente entre o inseto e o protozoário, pelo estabelecimento e permanência da infecção durante o ciclo de vida do triatomíneo.

Less invasive blood sampling in the animal laboratory: clinical chemistry and haematology of blood obtained by the Triatominae bug Dipetalogaster maximus [PDF]
Dipetalogaster maximus (Dipmax), a blood-sucking bug belonging to the family Reduviidae, has been used to obtain blood samples, for example for clinical chemistry and haematology, in a variety of zoo animals and wildlife. Using this bug allows stress-free blood sampling as the bug is able to draw blood without the mammal noticing the bug.
