Salivary and Intestinal Transcriptomes Reveal Differential Gene Expression in Starving, Fed and Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected Rhodnius neglectus. [PDF]
Rhodnius neglectus is a potential vector of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc), the causative agent of Chagas disease. The salivary glands (SGs) and intestine (INT) are actively required during blood feeding. The saliva from SGs is injected into the vertebrate host, modulating immune responses and favoring feeding for INT digestion.

Triatomines in the city: A study of Rhodnius neglectus in Jaboticabal, São Paulo, Brazil, and its epidemiological implications. [PDF]
Chagas disease, a significant global health concern rooted in social inequalities and political oversights, remains a challenging public health issue impacting millions worldwide. The increasing detection of triatomines, the vectors of Chagas disease, in urban areas complicates the situation.This study investigated the incidence of Rhodnius neglectus ...

Linking the maximum reported life span to the aging rate in wild birds
We explicitly linked the maximum reported life span to the aging process by employing a Weibull distribution and calculating the shape parameter in the model for 246 bird species based on published information from EURING. Abstract Dozens of surrogates have been used to reflect the rate of aging in comparative biology.

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