O controle da transmissão da doença de Chagas em Mambaí - Goiás, Brasil (1982-1984) [PDF]
A aplicação de inseticidas em Mambaí-GO, desde 1980, está determinando uma diminuição progressiva inicial de Triatoma infestans no intradomicilio, mas não a sua eliminação. A infestação triatominica foi detectada através de diversos métodos de vigilância

Biologic and Genetics Aspects of Chagas Disease at Endemic Areas
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
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

Tolerância ao calor e ao frio experimentalmente induzida em alados de Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister) (Hemíptera, Reduviidae) [PDF]
The survival rate of domestic male and female adult Panstrongylus megistus was studied after sequential heat and cold shocks in order to investigate shock tolerance compared to that previously reported for nymphs.
