Gene discovery in Triatoma infestans [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundTriatoma infestansis the most relevant vector of Chagas disease in the southern cone of South America. Since its genome has not yet been studied, sequencing of Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) is one of the most powerful tools for efficiently identifying large numbers of expressed genes in this insect vector.ResultsIn this work, we ...

The genomic analysis revealed a male‐biased abundance of satellite DNAs (satDNAs) in the bug Oxycarenus hyalinipennis. The complementary chromosomal analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization supported the notion of satDNA enrichment on the Y chromosome of the species.

The central complex is an insect brain area controlling goal‐directed orientation. Comparative analysis of insect species ranging from firebrats to flies reveals two bilateral pairs of serotonin‐immunoreactive neurons innervating the central complex in all neopteran species and two additional pairs of neurons in flies and butterflies.

Oral transmission of Chagas disease from a One Health approach: A systematic review
Abstract Objective To analyse acute Chagas disease (CD) outbreaks through a qualitative systematic review and discuss the determinants for its prevention and control. Methods Review of studies in which clinical cases of oral transmission were confirmed by parasitological and/or serological tests that included an epidemiological investigation of sources

Residual effect of lambdacyhalothrin on Triatoma infestans [PDF]
Insecticidal residual effect and triatomine infestation rates in houses of a community fumigated with lambdcyhalothrin (Icon) are reported. No mortality was observed in 5th-instar Triatoma infestans nymphs in 72-hr exposure test on three different surfaces, one month after fumigation for a dose of 31.5 mg am/m2.

Abstract Kissing bugs (Hempitera: Reduviidae) are obligately and exclusively blood feeding insects. Vertebrate blood is thought to provide insufficient B vitamins to insects, which rely on symbiotic relationships with bacteria that provision these nutrients.

Background. Chronic Chagas heart disease (CCHD) and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) frequently coexists in areas where Chagas disease is endemic. The effects of the association of both conditions (CCHD‐SAH) on the extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling are unknown. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9 are involved in ECM remodeling.
