Studies in search of a suitable experimental insect model for xenodiagnosis of hosts with Chagas' disease. 1 - Comparative xenodiagnosis with nine triatomine species of animals with acute infections by Trypanosoma cruzi

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1982
In search of a suitable vector species for xenodiagnosis of humans and animals with chronic Chagas' disease we first investigated the reactions of different vector species to acute infection with Trypanosoma cruzi.

Diel thermal variability does not always have detrimental effects on the performance of ectotherms

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 786-799, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change directly affects animal survival, with ectotherms being particularly vulnerable because their vital rates are closely related to environmental temperatures.

Scent Goes Digital: The Role of Insect Odorant Binding Proteins in Modern Technology

BioFactors, Volume 52, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
This review delves into bioinspired olfactory biosensors, focusing on insect odorant binding proteins (OBPs) as core elements of hybrid bionic platforms for volatile compound detection. Highlighting the development of the biological electronic nose (BE‐NOSE), it examines current prototypes, outlines advantages over conventional methods, and explores ...

Temporal change of the aggregation response in Triatoma infestans [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Adults and larvae of Triatoma infestans spend daylight hours assembled in shaded places. An assembling factor has been demonstrated in the excrement of this species. We analysed different aspects of the dynamics of the response of bugs. Recently fed insects do not aggregate around faeces.

Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is a retrovirus that can cause a spectrum of disease in wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), from subclinical infection to lymphoid tumors. We reviewed the literature to summarize our current understanding of LPDV, including disease presentation, surveillance, impact on fitness, spatiotemporal distribution, and ...

Population studies on Phytophthora infestans on potatoes and tomatoes in southern Germany [PDF]

, 2009
Fifty-seven isolates of Phytophthora infestans from blighted potato foliage were collected in 1995 in southern Germany and analysed for mating type and sensitivity to metalaxyl.

Metaciclogênese do Trypanosoma cruzi como parâmetro de interação do parasita com o triatomíneo vetor

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 1997
Triatoma infestans infectados por três amostras do Trypanosoma cruzi permitiram observar: 1) variabilidade numérica de metacíclicos obtidos de cada amostra após diferentes períodos de infecção; 2) diferenças na perda da infecção de acordo com a amostra ...

A new piece in the repeatome puzzle of Triatominae bugs: The analysis of Triatoma rubrofasciata reveals the role of satellite DNAs in the karyotypic evolution of distinct lineages

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 917-928, December 2025.
Satellite DNAs comprise the major component of the Triatoma rubrofasciata repeatome, highlighting their central role in genome composition and architecture. Satellite DNA families show recent amplification in heterochromatin and older, more divergent satellite DNAs located in euchromatin, indicating distinct evolutionary histories.

Phytophthora infestans has a plethora of phospholipase D enzymes including a subclass that has extracellular activity [PDF]

, 2011
In eukaryotes phospholipase D (PLD) is involved in many cellular processes. Currently little is known about PLDs in oomycetes. Here we report that the oomycete plant pathogen Phytophthora infestans has a large repertoire of PLDs divided over six ...

Potential geographic displacement of Chagas disease vectors under climate change

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 709-717, December 2025.
As a result of modelling the potential distribution of 55 triatomine species in the Neotropical region, with climate change projected for up to 2050, we found no significant changes. With climate change projected for up to 2080 in the Neotropical region, we see a significant potential for the migration of 55 species of triatomines towards the Amazon ...
