Viral metagenome characterization reveals species-specific virome profiles in Triatominae populations from the southern United States. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesKissing bugs (Triatominae) are hematophagous insects and the principal vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. While their bacterial microbiomes have received considerable attention, the diversity of viruses associated with ...

Deciphering morphology in Triatominae: The evolutionary signals
Acta Tropica, 2009 Many species of Triatominae show evidence for morphological plasticity. Frequent taxonomic questions arose from this variability leading to disputes about describing new subspecies, species or even genera. We suggest this phenotypic flexibility is primarily an intraspecific feature, but with potential for evolutionary changes.

History of insecticide resistance of Triatominae vectors [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2015 In the last 15 years, different types of Triatominae resistance to different insecticides have been reported; thus, resistance may be more widespread than known, requiring better characterization and delimitation, which was the aim of this review.

Massive invasion on a Triatominae insectarium (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) by Attagenus fasciatus (Thunberg, 1795) (Coleoptera: Dermestidae: Attageninae) [PDF]
Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2023 Background: Triatominae are vectors of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. This study aims to report an infestation on Triatominae colonies by a beetle, previously identified as a pest.

Proteomic Mapping of Multifunctional Complexes Within Triatomine Saliva
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Triatomines are hematophagous insects that transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. This neglected tropical disease represents a global health issue as it is spreading worldwide.
