Dynamics of maternal gene expression in Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The study of developmental processes in Rhodnius prolixus has recently advanced with the sequencing of the genome. In this work, we analyze the maternal gene expression driving oogenesis and early embryogenesis in R. prolixus.

Blood-feeding of Rhodnius prolixus

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 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

Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Mating in <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i>. [PDF]

Insects
The kissing bug Rhodnius prolixus is a nocturnal species; however, its temporal mating patterns remain unexplored. Copulation lasts about fifty minutes, during which time the couple remains almost motionless. We hypothesized that R. prolixus copulates within shelters to reduce its vulnerability.

Behavioral responses of Rhodnius prolixus to volatile organic compounds released in vitro by bacteria isolated from human facial skin. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Previous studies have demonstrated the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by skin microbiota in the attraction of mosquitoes to humans. Recently, behavioral experiments confirmed the importance of VOCs released by skin microbiota in the ...

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.
