Biologic and Genetics Aspects of Chagas Disease at Endemic Areas

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesPsyche: 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
