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.

Impact of JH Signaling on Reproductive Physiology of the Classical Insect Model, Rhodnius prolixus

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
In adult females of several insect species, juvenile hormones (JHs) act as gonadotrophic hormones, regulating egg production. JH binds to its nuclear receptor, Methoprene tolerant (Met), triggering its dimerization with the protein Taiman (Tai).

Satellitome Analysis of Rhodnius prolixus, One of the Main Chagas Disease Vector Species

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
The triatomine Rhodnius prolixus is the main vector of Chagas disease in countries such as Colombia and Venezuela, and the first kissing bug whose genome has been sequenced and assembled. In the repetitive genome fraction (repeatome) of this species, the

Characterization of the Temporal Pattern of Blood Protein Digestion in Rhodnius prolixus: First Description of Early and Late Gut Cathepsins

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Rhodnius prolixus is one important vector for the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi in Latin America, where Chagas disease is a significant health issue. Although R.

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

Functional Characterization of Odorant Binding Protein 27 (RproOBP27) From Rhodnius prolixus Antennae

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Olfactory proteins mediate a wide range of essential behaviors for insect survival. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble olfactory proteins involved in the transport of odor molecules (=odorants) through the sensillum lymph to odorant ...

Malpighian tubules of Rhodnius prolixus: More than post-prandial diuresis

Frontiers in Insect Science, 2023
Rhodnius prolixus, a major vector of Chagas disease, may be considered the model upon which the foundations of insect physiology and biochemistry were built.

Crosstalk between Nutrition, Insulin, Juvenile Hormone, and Ecdysteroid Signaling in the Classical Insect Model, Rhodnius prolixus

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022
The rigorous balance of endocrine signals that control insect reproductive physiology is crucial for the success of egg production. Rhodnius prolixus, a blood-feeding insect and main vector of Chagas disease, has been used over the last century as a ...

The role of ecdysteroid in the regulation of ovarian growth and oocyte maturation in Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas disease.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2022
Rhodnius prolixus is a blood-gorging insect that is medically important since it transmits Chagas disease via feces and urine that contain the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi.
