GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract 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.

An atlas of plant selenium metabolism
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2041-2060, May 2026.Summary Selenium (Se) is not only a rare and toxic element but also an essential micronutrient for humans and animals that is often in short supply. Terrestrial plants do not require Se, but it can have growth‐promoting or negative effects, depending on the exposure level.

Gonadulin and Insulin‐Like Growth Factor Involved in Rhipicephalus microplus Reproduction
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 285-295, March 2026.Insulin‐like growth factor (IGF2) in ovaries of Rhipicephalus microplus partially engorged females. Ovaries from females at different feeding stages were used to detect IGF2. ABSTRACT Gonadulin and insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) are neuropeptides synthesized by the central nervous system (CNS) of arthropods.

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 ...

Effects of azadirachtin in Rhodnius prolixus: data and hypotheses [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1991 The effects of azadirachtin A, a tetranortriterpenoid from the neem tree Azadirachta indica J., on both development and interaction between Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas' disease, and its vector Rhodnius prolixus were studied. Given through a blood meal, a dose-response relationship of azadirachtin was established using antifeedant ...
