Reproductive Biology of Triatoma brasiliensis (Hemiptera, Triatominae) During the Imaginal Molt. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2016
The triatomines are vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease. These insects are sexually active after the imaginal molt. Some aspects have been studied in Triatoma brasiliensis during the imaginal molt, such as autogeny in virgin females and the relationship between blood ingestion by fifth instar nymph and the ...

Triatoma brasiliensis species complex: characterization of the external female genitalia [PDF]

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2020
The Triatoma brasiliensis complex is composed of six species (Triatoma bahiensis, T. juazerensis, T. lenti, T. melanica, T. petrocchiae, and T. sherlocki) and two subspecies (T. brasiliensis brasiliensis and T. b. macromelasoma). Phylogenetic studies have shown that it is a monophyletic group, but the morphological relationships among the members can ...

Learning spatial aversion is sensory-specific in the hematophagous insect Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]

, 2018
Even though innate behaviors are essential for assuring quick responses to expected stimuli, experience-dependent behavioral plasticity confers an advantage when unexpected conditions arise.

Triatoma jatai sp. nov. in the state of Tocantins, Brazil (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) [PDF]

, 2013
Triatoma jatai sp. nov. is the first new species of triatomine to be described in the state of Tocantins, in the northern region of Brazil. It was caught on rock outcrops in the wild environment and, more recently, invading homes. While T. jatai sp. nov.

Chromosome homogeneity in populations of Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva 1911 (Hemiptera - Reduviidae - Triatominae) Homogeneidade cromossômica em populações de Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva 1911 (Hemiptera - Reduviidae - Triatominae)

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2000
Triatoma brasiliensis is the most important vector of Chagas disease in the semiarid zone of the Northeast of Brazil. Several authors have reported the occurrence of four chromatic patterns with morphological, ecological, and genetic differences.

Evolutionary ecology of Chagas disease; what do we know and what do we need?

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 470-487, April 2018., 2018
Abstract The aetiological agent of Chagas disease, Trypanosoma cruzi, is a key human pathogen afflicting most populations of Latin America. This vectorborne parasite is transmitted by haematophageous triatomines, whose control by large‐scale insecticide spraying has been the main strategy to limit the impact of the disease for over 25 years.
