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. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol
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.

Rewiring the Vehicle: <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> Parasites Alter the Antennae of Their Triatomine Hosts. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi infects triatomine bugs. Infection induces antennal sensillum change in distribution and number in bugs. Antennal sensillum changes can make the bugs' search for food more efficient. ABSTRACT This study investigates the antennal phenotype of the kissing bug Triatoma pallidipennis (Stål), a primary vector of Chagas disease, by
