Phylogeny of the North-Central American clade of blood-sucking reduviid bugs of the tribe Triatomini (Hemiptera: Triatominae) based on the mitochondrial genome.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2020
Triatominae is a subfamily of blood-sucking reduviid hemipterans of public health importance primarily in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the Americas, whose members possess various morphological adaptations closely associated to hematophagy ...

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 ...

Biotic Assembly of the Species of Triatomini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in the Mexican and South American Transition Zones

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
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 ...

Triatomines: Trypanosomatids, Bacteria, and Viruses Potential Vectors?

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Triatominae bugs are the vectors of Chagas disease, a major concern to public health especially in Latin America, where vector-borne Chagas disease has undergone resurgence due mainly to diminished triatomine control in many endemic municipalities ...

Host‐Specificity and Network Structure of Tick Microbiota in Co‐Distributed Species From the Iberian Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We investigate the community composition and structure of microbiota across natural populations of three co‐distributed tick species in the central Iberian Peninsula. Our results revealed a complex and diverse microbiota, while all tick species exhibited a shared core microbiota.

Cutaneous reactions during treatment with Nifurtimox or Benznidazole among Trypanosoma cruzi seropositive adults without symptomatic cardiomyopathy: A safety sub analysis of a placebo‐controlled randomised trial

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 7, Page 673-684, July 2025.
Abstract Objectives To determine, in a randomised placebo‐controlled trial, if cutaneous adverse reactions during treatment (CARDT) with Benznidazole occur as often as with Nifurtimox, and whether the dose and duration of treatment change that frequency.

Triatoma rosai sp. nov. (Hemiptera, Triatominae): A New Species of Argentinian Chagas Disease Vector Described Based on Integrative Taxonomy

Insects, 2020
Simple Summary Although all triatomines are potential vectors of Chagas' disease, there are species with greater or lesser vectorial importance. Therefore, the correct identification of triatomines species is essential for the vector control programs. In

Spermatogenesis in Triatoma melanocephala (Hemiptera: Triatominae).

Genetics and molecular research : GMR, 2014
Triatoma melanocephala is a rare species of Hemiptera. It belonged to the Brasiliensis subcomplex and presents morphological characteristics very close to those of Triatoma vitticeps. We investigated spermatogenesis of T. melanocephala and compared it with that of T.

Rewiring the Vehicle: Trypanosoma cruzi Parasites Alter the Antennae of Their Triatomine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi infects triatomine bugs. Infection induces antennal sensillum change in distribution and number in bugs. Antennal sensillum changes can make the bugs' search for food more efficient. ABSTRACT This study investigates the antennal phenotype of the kissing bug Triatoma pallidipennis (Stål), a primary vector of Chagas disease, by

Spermiotaxonomy of the tribe Rhodniini (Hemiptera, Triatominae)

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
The tribe Rhodniini is a monophyletic group composed of 22 species, with 19 in the Rhodnius genus and three in the Psammolestes genus. These insects are morphologically very similar (cryptic species), and new tools are important for investigating the taxonomy of these vectors.
