Feeding and defecation behavior of Triatoma rubida (Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) under laboratory conditions, and its potential role as a vector of chagas disease in Arizona, USA [PDF]

, 2011
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by blood-sucking triatomine insects. This disease is endemic throughout Mexico and Central and South America, but only a few autochthonous cases have been reported

Allergy to stings and bites from rare or locally important arthropods: Worldwide distribution, available diagnostics and treatment

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Vector competence and feeding-excretion behavior of Triatoma rubrovaria (Blanchard, 1843) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) infected with Trypanosoma cruzi TcVI

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Background Several studies addressed changes on the insect vector behavior due to parasite infection, but little is known for triatomine bugs, vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease.

Bacteriolytic activity in saliva of the hematophagous Triatoma infestans (Reduviidae) and novel characterization and expression site of a third lysozyme

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 113, Issue 3, July 2023., 2023
Bacteriolytic activity after zymography of saliva obtained from unfed nymphs or 7 days after feeding and after an incubation at pH 4 and pH 6, followed by staining and additional incubation in water. Molecular masses of marker proteins are displayed on the left.

Phylogeography and cohesion species delimitation of California endemic trapdoor spiders within the Aptostichus icenoglei sibling species complex (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Euctenizidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Species delimitation in spiders has traditionally used morphological characters; however, certain mygalomorph spiders are heavily inclined toward morphological homogeneity despite long periods of population‐level isolation and consequent high degrees of molecular divergence.

'It is like a tomato stall where someone can pick what he likes': structure and practices of female sex work in Kampala, Uganda. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Effective interventions among female sex workers require a thorough knowledge of the context of local sex industries. We explore the organisation of female sex work in a low socio-economic setting in Kampala, Uganda.
