Parasites of firebugs in Austria with focus on the "micro"-diversity of the cosmopolitan trypanosomatid Leptomonas pyrrhocoris. [PDF]
AbstractIn this work, we investigated parasites of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus in Austria and demonstrated that in addition to the extensively studied Leptomonas pyrrhocoris, it can also be infected by Blastocrithidia sp. and by a mermithid, which for the first time has been characterized using molecular methods.

The arrival and spread of the European firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus in Australia as documented by citizen scientists [PDF]
Abstract - We report the recent introduction and spread of the European Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) in Australia, as documented on the citizen science platform iNaturalist. The species was first observed in December 2018 in the City of Brimbank (Melbourne, Victoria) and has quickly expanded into 15 adjacent municipalities, including areas in ...

The X chromosome still has a lot to reveal – revisiting Hermann Henking's work on firebugs [PDF]
ABSTRACT In 1891, the existence of an X chromosome was noted for the first time. Hermann Henking was studying spermatocyte divisions of the firebug Pyrrhocoris apterus and observed that one chromosome behaved differently than all of the rest of the chromosomes. Henking called this chromosome ‘Element x’.

Platelets: Inflammatory Firebugs of Vascular Walls [PDF]
Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. Platelets can “inflame” the vascular wall by various mechanisms and thereby initiate and support the development of atherosclerosis. Platelet interaction with leukocytes, endothelial cells, and circulating progenitor cells triggers autocrine and paracrine activation processes, leading to inflammatory and ...

We studied the development of the indirect flight muscles and reproductive organs in long-winged (macropterous) adults of the flightless bug Pyrrhocoris apterus (L.) and the factors involved in flight muscles histolysis by means of total protein analysis.
