Taxonomic and systematic analysis among triatomine bug species (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) from colonies of the Special Health Service of Araraquara (SESA), inferred from 16S rDNA mitocondrial sequences [PDF]
Foram analisadas seqüências de nucleotídeos do gene 16S do rDNA mitocondrial em 14 populações de triatomíneos mantidos em colônias no insetário SESA de Araraquara- SP, comparando-as com seqüências do mesmo gene disponíveis no GenBank.

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.

Potential geographic displacement of Chagas disease vectors under climate change
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 ...

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

Canine Trypanosoma cruzi infection in the Bolivian Chaco [PDF]
A cross-sectional study on Trypanosoma cruzi was carried out in 2013 to evaluate the role of dogs as possible source of infection for humans in two rural communities of the highly endemic Bolivian Chaco (Bartolo, Chuquisaca Department, n = 57 dogs; and ...

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour
T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,

Modelling the potential geographic distribution of triatomines infected by Triatoma virus in the southern cone of South America [PDF]
Background: Triatoma virus (TrV) is the only entomopathogenous virus identified in triatomines. We estimated the potential geographic distribution of triatomine species naturally infected by TrV, using remotely sensed and meteorological environmental ...

ABSTRACT Aim To infer the biogeographic history of the Triatomini by evaluating how their species became part of the biogeographic transition zones of the New World. This group of blood‐feeding insects includes key vectors of Chagas disease. Understanding their dispersal and diversification over geological time may help elucidate the temporal dynamics ...

Natural selection and genetic variation in a promising Chagas disease drug target: Trypanosoma cruzi trans-sialidase [PDF]
Rational drug design is a powerful method in which new and innovative therapeutics can be designed based on knowledge of the biological target aiming to provide more efficacious and responsible therapeutics.
