Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Updated information of the dispersion dynamics of Chagas disease (CD) and a systemic analysis of these data will aid the early identification of areas that are vulnerable to transmission and enable efficient intervention. This work synthesized spatiotemporal information regarding triatomine fauna and analyzed this information in combination with the ...

The effect of relative humidity on the behaviour and development of Triatoma brasiliensis [PDF]
Physiological Entomology, 2002 Abstract The preference for relative humidity (RH) and suitability of different levels of this environmental parameter were investigated in the haematophagous bug Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva, 1911 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae).

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 The Triatominae subfamily includes hematophagous insects, well known for their role as vectors for the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, etiologic agent of Chagas’ disease. Belminus ferroae is a triatomine that showed an increased demographic fitness when cockroaches were used as hosts. Here we compare the centroid size (CS) and wing shape between B. ferroae

The metasternal and Brindley's Glands of Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [PDF]
Neotropical Entomology, 2009 Triatoma brasiliensis Neiva is the most important vector of the Chagas' disease in the semiarid zones of North-eastern Brazil. Adult bugs have two main pairs of exocrine glands, the metasternal and the Brindley's glands, which release volatiles possibly with defense, alarm and/or mating functions.

Impact of Chagas Disease in Bolivian Immigrants Living in Europe and the Risk of Stigmatization
Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Background. The prevalence of Chagas disease in endemic countries varies with the kind of vector involved and the socioeconomic conditions of the population of origin. Due to recent immigration it is an emerging public health problem in Europe, especially in those countries which receive immigrant populations with a high prevalence of carriers.

The sialotranscriptome of the blood-sucking bug Triatoma brasiliensis (Hemiptera, Triatominae) [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007 Triatoma brasiliensis is the most important autochthon vector of Trypanosoma cruzi in Brazil, where it is widely distributed in the semiarid areas of the Northeast. In order to advance the knowledge of the salivary biomolecules of Triatominae, a salivary gland cDNA library of T. brasiliensis was mass sequenced and analyzed.
