Salivary Gland Extract of Kissing Bug, Triatoma lecticularia, Reduces the Severity of Intestinal Inflammation through the Modulation of the Local IL‐6/IL‐10 Axis

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Triatomines are known for their role as vectors of the causative agent of Chagas disease. The occurrence of an arsenal of molecules in their saliva is able to suppress vertebrate immune responses. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that the presence of molecules with therapeutic potential in their saliva is able to constrain inflammation in immune ...

Alpinia Essential Oils and Their Major Components against Rhodnius nasutus, a Vector of Chagas Disease

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Species of the genus Alpinia are widely used by the population and have many described biological activities, including activity against insects. In this paper, we describe the bioactivity of the essential oil of two species of Alpinia genus, A. zerumbet and A. vittata, against Rhodnius nasutus, a vector of Chagas disease.

Triatomine Fauna and Recent Epidemiological Dynamics of Chagas Disease in an Endemic Area of Northeast Brazil

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Updated information of the dispersion dynamics of Chagas disease (CD) and a systemic analysis of these data will aid the early identification of areas that are vulnerable to transmission and enable efficient intervention. This work synthesized spatiotemporal information regarding triatomine fauna and analyzed this information in combination with the ...

New Scenarios of Chagas Disease Transmission in Northern Colombia

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Chagas disease (CD) is a systemic parasitic infection caused by the flagellated form of Trypanosoma cruzi. Córdoba department, located in the Colombian Caribbean Coast, was not considered as a region at risk of T. cruzi transmission. In this article, we describe the first acute CD case in Salitral village in Sahagún, Córdoba, confirmed by microscopy ...

Empowering communities through One Health and ArtScience: An innovative approach to combat Chagas disease in endemic areas of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.
This study combines One Health and ArtScience to address Chagas disease in Latin America through Chagas Express XXI in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Six workshops revealed significant gaps in local understanding of transmission and control, emphasizing the need for education tailored to endemic socio‐environmental contexts.

Potential Distribution of Chagas Disease Vectors (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in Colombia, Based on Ecological Niche Modeling

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Ecological niche modeling of Triatominae bugs allow us to establish the local risk of transmission of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which causes Chagas disease. This information could help to guide health authority recommendations on infection monitoring, prevention, and control.
