Rhodnius prolixus Malpighian tubules and control of diuresis by neurohormones

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2007
Rhodnius prolixus Malpighian tubules (MTs) are a good model for fluid and ion secretion studies in view of the dramatic postprandial diuresis, which follows its massive blood meals. Ingestion of a blood meal equals to 10-12 times their initial body mass,

Beyond Temperature: Relative Humidity Systematically Shifts Juvenile Thermal Performance and Projected Population Growth in a Malaria Vector

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
Understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental change requires accounting for multiple interacting climatic factors; yet relative humidity is rarely integrated with temperature in trait‐based performance frameworks. Using laboratory experiments and an analytic population growth model, we show that humidity systematically modifies juvenile life ...

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 350-359, June 2026.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Cytochemical study of Rhodnius neglectus and Rhodnius prolixus salivary gland cells (Hemiptera, Triatominae) [PDF]

Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2014
Triatomines are hematophagous bugs of medical interest in South and Central America, where they may act as invertebrate hosts of the hemoflagellate protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi (the causative of Chagas’ disease) and Trypanosoma rangeli (Tejera, 1920).

Conkazal‐M1 from the MKAVA family of conotoxins: A dual‐function protease inhibitor and neuroactive peptide

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine cone snails produce a diverse array of bioactive peptides, known as conotoxins, in their venom. Given their high target potency and specificity, conotoxins are attractive compounds for the development of precision research tools and pharmacological agents.
