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.

Sexual Choice in Males of the Triatoma brasiliensis Complex: A Matter of Maintenance of the Species or Genetic Variability?

Open Parasitology Journal, 2020
Members of the Triatoma brasiliensis complex can produce experimental and natural hybrids. Crossing experiments performed in the laboratory, with several combinations between species of that complex, revealed a gradient of reproductive affinities ...

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
