Human Chagas Disease and Migration in the Context of Globalization: Some Particular Aspects

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Human Chagas disease originated in Latin America, being spread around the world in relation with multiple bioecological, sociocultural, and political factors. The process of the disease production and dispersion is discussed, emphasizing the human migration and correlated aspects, in the context of globalization.

Biologic and Genetics Aspects of Chagas Disease at Endemic Areas

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The etiologic agent of Chagas Disease is the Trypanosoma cruzi, transmitted through blood‐sucking insect vectors of the Triatominae subfamily, representing one of the most serious public health concerns in Latin America. There are geographic variations in the prevalence of clinical forms and morbidity of Chagas disease, likely due to genetic variation ...

An Insight into the Sialomes of Bloodsucking Heteroptera

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Saliva of bloodsucking arthropods contains dozens or hundreds of proteins that affect their hosts′ mechanisms against blood loss (hemostasis) and inflammation. Because acquisition of the hematophagous habit evolved independently in several arthropod orders and at least twice within the true bugs, there is a convergent evolutionary scenario that creates

Estudos anatômicos e histológicos sôbre a subfamília Triatominae (Heteroptera, Reduviidae): Parte XXI. Estudo comparado do sistema traqueal em Triatoma, Panstrongylus e Rhodnius

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1965
É feito um estudo comparado do sistema traqueal nos Triatomíneos. Notou-se que os ramos traqueais secundários apresentam diversidades quanto quanto ao número e à disposição topográfica das traquéias, inclusive quando se tratando de um mesmo exemplar ...

Proteases of haematophagous arthropod vectors are involved in blood-feeding, yolk formation and immunity : a review [PDF]

, 2017
Ticks, triatomines, mosquitoes and sand flies comprise a large number of haematophagous arthropods considered vectors of human infectious diseases. While consuming blood to obtain the nutrients necessary to carry on life functions, these insects can ...

Geographic Distribution of Chagas Disease Vectors in Brazil Based on Ecological Niche Modeling

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Although Brazil was declared free from Chagas disease transmission by the domestic vector Triatoma infestans, human acute cases are still being registered based on transmission by native triatomine species. For a better understanding of transmission risk, the geographic distribution of Brazilian triatomines was analyzed.
