Secondary Kill Effect of Deltamethrin on Triatoma infestans [PDF]
Control of the Chagas disease vector, Triatoma infestans, relies on the application of pyrethroid insecticides, especially deltamethrin. We performed laboratory studies to determine whether a T. infestans nymph that comes into contact with a deltamethrin-treated surface horizontally transfers the insecticide to subsequent triatomines.

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

High levels of human infection with Trypanosoma cruzi associated with the domestic density of infected vectors and hosts in a rural area of northeastern Argentina [PDF]
Background: Insecticide spraying campaigns designed to suppress the principal vectors of the Chagas disease usually lack an active surveillance system that copes with house reinvasion.

Periurban Trypanosoma cruzi–infected Triatoma infestans, Arequipa, Peru [PDF]
In Arequipa, Peru, vectorborne transmission of Chagas disease by Triatoma infestans has become an urban problem.We conducted an entomologic survey in a periurban community of Arequipa to identify risk factors for triatomine infestation and determinants of vector population densities.Of 374 households surveyed, triatomines were collected from 194 (52%),

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

Ecological host fitting of Trypanosoma cruzi TcI in Bolivia: mosaic population structure, hybridization and a role for humans in Andean parasite dispersal. [PDF]
An improved understanding of how a parasite species exploits its genetic repertoire to colonize novel hosts and environmental niches is crucial to establish the epidemiological risk associated with emergent pathogenic genotypes.

Current understanding of lymphoproliferative disease virus in wild turkeys
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 ...
