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

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.

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,

Thermosensation and the TRPV channel in Rhodnius prolixus
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2015 The thermal sense of triatomine bugs, vectors of Chagas disease, is unique among insects. Not only do these bugs exhibit the highest sensitivity to heat known in any animal up to date, but they can also perceive the infrared radiation emitted by the body of their warm-blooded hosts.

The roles of haemolymphatic lipoproteins in the oogenesis of Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987 The fates of purified 32P-vitellin and 32P-lipophorin were followed in vitellogenic females of Rhodnius prolixus. While the radioactivity from 32P-vitellin 6 hours after injection was found almost exclusively in the ovary, the radioactivity from injected 32P-lipophorin was found distributed among several organs. In the ovary, the radioactivity from 32P-
