High Spatial Resolution Ensemble Species Distribution Modeling of <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i>, Vector of Chagas Disease, in Western Venezuela. [PDF]

Geohealth
Abstract Rhodnius prolixus is the most common and abundant kissing bug found in Royal and other native palms from western Venezuela. R. prolixus is a dominant vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite causing Chagas disease. Here we use species distribution models (SDMs) to estimate habitat suitability for R. prolixus.

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 ...

Rhodnius prolixus intoxicated

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017
Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a hematophagous insect native from South America. By the end of the 20th century, it was one of the main vectors of Chagas disease in Venezuela, Colombia, several Central American countries and southern Mexico. The aim of the present article is to review the literature regarding R.

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.

Transcriptome-based molecular systematics: Rhodnius montenegrensis (Triatominae) and its position within the Rhodnius prolixus–Rhodnius robustus cryptic–species complex [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Rhodnius montenegrensis (Triatominae), a potential vector of Chagas disease, was described after R. robustus-like bugs from southwestern Amazonia. Mitochondrial cytb sequence near-identity with sympatric R. robustus (genotype II) raised doubts about the taxonomic status of R.

Blood-feeding of Rhodnius prolixus

Biomédica, 2017
Los triatominos (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) son insectos hematófagos vectores del protozooTrypanosoma cruzi, el cual causa la enfermedad de Chagas. Rhodnius prolixus es el vector de T. cruzi de mayor importancia epidemiológica en Colombia. Para alimentarse, los triatominos introducen su probóscide directamente en los vasos sanguíneos de los huéspedes ...

Estudo comparado do ciclo evolutivo de triatomíneos a duas temperaturas Comparison of life cycles of triatominae according to changes in temperature

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989
We studied the life cicle of several triatominae species: Dipetalogaster maximus (Uhler, 1894); Panstrongylus herreri Wygodzinsky, 1948; Panstrongylus megistus (Burmeister, 1835); Rhodnius ecuadoriensis Lent & Leon, 1958; Rhodnius nasutus Stal, 1859 ...

A new piece in the repeatome puzzle of Triatominae bugs: The analysis of Triatoma rubrofasciata reveals the role of satellite DNAs in the karyotypic evolution of distinct lineages. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
Satellite DNAs comprise the major component of the Triatoma rubrofasciata repeatome, highlighting their central role in genome composition and architecture. Satellite DNA families show recent amplification in heterochromatin and older, more divergent satellite DNAs located in euchromatin, indicating distinct evolutionary histories.
