Blood-feeding of Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]
Biomédica, 2017 Triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) are blood-sucking insect vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi which is the causative agent of Chagas’ disease. Rhodnius prolixus is the most epidemiologically important vector of T. cruzi in Colombia. Triatomines

Comparison of hemocytes of 5th-instar nymphs of Rhodnius prolixus (Stal) and Rhodnius robustus (Larousse 1927), before and after molting [PDF]
Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2015 Background. The immune response of insects involves humoral factors and cellular elements known as hemocytes. There are different reports that explore the response of hemocytes to infections, but the effect that molting has on this response has not been

Differentiation of Rhodnius neglectus and Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) by multiple parameters [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2020 The genus Rhodnius in the subfamily Triatominae comprises 20 species, which can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma rangeli. Due to the development of molecular techniques, Triatominae species can now be characterized by mitochondrial and nuclear markers, making it possible to verify and/or correct the existing data on these species. The results

Differentiation and genetic analysis of Rhodnius prolixus and Rhodnius colombiensis by rDNA and RAPD amplification [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001 Domiciliated Rhodnius prolixus and sylvatic R. colombiensis were analyzed in order to confirm their genetic divergence and verify the risk that the latter represents in the domiciliation process, and to provide tools for identifying the sources of possible reinfestation by triatomines in human dwellings allowing control programs to be undertaken ...

Elimination of Rhodnius prolixus in Central America [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2012 Rhodnius prolixus is one of the main vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, causative agent of Chagas disease. In Central America, it was first discovered in 1915 in El Salvador, from where it spread northwest to Guatemala and Mexico, and southeast to Nicaragua and Costa Rica, arriving also in Honduras in the late 1950s.
