Thermal performance of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans, under thermal variability. [PDF]
PLoS Negl Trop Dis, 2021 Vector-borne diseases (VBD) are particularly susceptible to climate change because most of the diseases’ vectors are ectotherms, which themselves are susceptible to thermal changes.

Sôbre a dispersão do Triatoma infestans [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1971 Foram reunidas as informações disponíveis sôbre a dispersão do T. infestans no Brasil e sôbre o seu comportamento face ao combate com inseticidas nos focos isolados da espécie. Com base nesses elementos e no que se conhece sôbre os fatôres que regem a dispersão das espécies invasoras, é discutido o fato do T. infestans ter sido eliminado de quase todos

O vaso dorsal de Triatoma infestans [PDF]
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1980 Descreve-se a anatomia do coração e da aorta de Triatoma infestans, material criado durante alguns anos em cativeiro. O principal resultado das observações é o fato de que, em vez de três pares de ostíolos, o coração possui apenas um único ostíolo em cada uma das suas últimas câmaras.
