Biologic and Genetics Aspects of Chagas Disease at Endemic Areas

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The etiologic agent of Chagas Disease is the Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted through blood‐sucking insect vectors of the Triatominae subfamily, representing one of the most serious public health concerns in Latin America. There are geographic variations in the prevalence of clinical forms and morbidity of Chagas disease, likely due to genetic variation ...

An Insight into the Sialomes of Bloodsucking Heteroptera

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Saliva of bloodsucking arthropods contains dozens or hundreds of proteins that affect their hosts′ mechanisms against blood loss (hemostasis) and inflammation. Because acquisition of the hematophagous habit evolved independently in several arthropod orders and at least twice within the true bugs, there is a convergent evolutionary scenario that creates

Geographic Distribution of Chagas Disease Vectors in Brazil Based on Ecological Niche Modeling

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Although Brazil was declared free from Chagas disease transmission by the domestic vector Triatoma infestans, human acute cases are still being registered based on transmission by native triatomine species. For a better understanding of transmission risk, the geographic distribution of Brazilian triatomines was analyzed.

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.

The Sexual Behaviour of Chagas′ Disease Vectors: Chemical Signals Mediating Communication between Male and Female Triatomine Bugs

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Chemical communication mechanisms that mediate sexual behaviour in triatomine bugs are reviewed with regard to source, identity, and function of sex pheromones. Males attempt to copulate but may be rejected, depending on female age and nutritional status. Triatomine males locate partners through sex pheromones emitted by the metasternal glands (MGs) of

Trypanosomes and gut microbiota interactions in triatomine bugs and tsetse flies: A vectorial perspective

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 253-268, September 2024.
Trypanosoma sp. presence modulates or has zero effect on gut microbiota composition. Microbiota presence modulates or has zero effect on Trypanosoma sp. growth. Vector biology of triatomine bugs and tsetse flies influences their gut microbiota composition.
