Bed bug preferences for host odor or aggregation odor are differentially modulated by physiological state in various odorscapes

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 1426-1436, February 2026.
The bed bug olfactory system is highly tuned to two odor sources with dedicated odor information‐processing pathways that are modulated by the satiety–hunger state. Understanding the dynamic nature of switching odor preferences at different phases of blood digestion will contribute to the development of lures with host kairomones and aggregation ...

Studies on Trypanosoma rangeli Tejera 1920. VII - Its effect on the survival of infected triatomine bugs

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1984
The pathological effects of Trypanosoma rangeli on Rhodnius prolixus and R. robustus, and the relation of mortality to infection, were studied under laboratory conditions. Frequent observations revealed that when the first instar nymphs of R.

SYNCAS‐mediated CRISPR‐Cas9 genome editing in the Jewel wasp, Nasonia vitripennis

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 48-55, February 2026.
Maternal injection of Cas9 RNP together with BAPC and saponins (SYNCAS) results in efficient gene editing of Nasonia vitripennis offspring. The timing of injection and egg collection is important for maximising efficiency and reducing screening effort.

Effects of precocene and azadirachtin in Rhodnius prolixus: some data on development and reproduction

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1987
The results presented in this paper clearly indicate that precocene and azadirachtin are effective inhibitors of moulting and reproduction in the hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus. The time of application is important and only applications of these substances

Nutritional geometry provides insight into the dual roles of natural and sexual selection in insect cuticular hydrocarbon evolution

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3646-3658, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between natural and sexual selection have been integral to the development of sexual selection theory, yet the role of natural selection in sexual trait evolution has received far less empirical attention than the role of sexual selection, and the extent to

Patrones electroforéticos de hemoproteínas salivares (nitroforinas) de Rhodnius colombiensis y Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2007
Introducción. La electroforesis de hemeproteínas salivares en geles de almidón es una técnica de reciente aplicación para diferenciar especies del género Rhodnius que poseen gran similaridad fenotípica o para diferenciar subpoblaciones de la misma ...

Identifying Health Centers in Honduras Infested with Rhodnius Prolixus Using the Seroprevalence of Chagas Disease in Children Younger than 13 Years. [PDF]

, 2005
The objective of this study is to determine if a Chagas disease protocol starting with a serological survey is as reliable at identifying insect-infested areas as one using the gold standard entomological survey.

A new piece in the repeatome puzzle of Triatominae bugs: The analysis of Triatoma rubrofasciata reveals the role of satellite DNAs in the karyotypic evolution of distinct lineages

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 917-928, December 2025.
Satellite DNAs comprise the major component of the Triatoma rubrofasciata repeatome, highlighting their central role in genome composition and architecture. Satellite DNA families show recent amplification in heterochromatin and older, more divergent satellite DNAs located in euchromatin, indicating distinct evolutionary histories.

Genome Wide Mapping of Peptidases in Rhodnius prolixus: Identification of Protease Gene Duplications, Horizontally Transferred Proteases and Analysis of Peptidase A1 Structures, with Considerations on Their Role in the Evolution of Hematophagy in Triatominae

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Triatominae is a subfamily of the order Hemiptera whose species are able to feed in the vertebrate blood (i.e., hematophagy). This feeding behavior presents a great physiological challenge to insects, especially in Hemipteran species with a digestion ...

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 374-387, December 2025.
T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,
