History of insecticide resistance of Triatominae vectors [PDF]
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.

Biosystematics and evolution of the Triatominae [PDF]
In this paper we summarize the systematics of the 130 currently recognized species of Triatominae and the key features of their evolutionary background. There is increasing evidence that the subfamily has polyphyletic origins, with the various tribes and species groups probably arising from different reduviid lineages in relatively recent times.

Trypanosoma cruzi : time for international recognition as a foodborne parasite [PDF]
Background: Current Chagas disease vector control strategies, based on chemical insecticide spraying, are growingly threatened by the emergence of pyrethroid-resistant Triatoma infestans populations in the Gran Chaco region of South America. Methodology

Trypanosoma cruzi infection enhances olfactory response in Triatoma pallidipennis Stål (Hemiptera: Triatominae) to compounds potentially useful for insect control. [PDF]
Triatoma pallidipennis is one of the main vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Attractant activity of octenol, nonanal and a mixture of lactic acid, hexanoic acid and ammonium hydroxide on T. cruzi–infected and non‐infected T. pallidipennis nymphal stages.

Trapping Triatominae in Silvatic Habitats [PDF]
Large-scale trials of a trapping system designed to collect silvatic Triatominae are reported. Live-baited adhesive traps were tested in various ecosystems and different triatomine habitats (arboreal and terrestrial). The trials were always successful, with a rate of positive habitats generally over 20% and reaching 48.4% for palm trees of the Amazon ...

The genomic analysis revealed a male‐biased abundance of satellite DNAs (satDNAs) in the bug Oxycarenus hyalinipennis. The complementary chromosomal analysis by fluorescence in situ hybridization supported the notion of satDNA enrichment on the Y chromosome of the species.

Oral transmission of Chagas disease from a One Health approach: A systematic review
Abstract Objective To analyse acute Chagas disease (CD) outbreaks through a qualitative systematic review and discuss the determinants for its prevention and control. Methods Review of studies in which clinical cases of oral transmission were confirmed by parasitological and/or serological tests that included an epidemiological investigation of sources

Abstract Insect venom allergy is the most frequent cause of anaphylaxis in Europe and possibly worldwide. The majority of systemic allergic reactions after insect stings are caused by Hymenoptera, and among these, vespid genera induce most of the systemic sting reactions (SSR). Honey bees are the second leading cause of SSR.

Biology of three species of North American Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) fed on rabbits [PDF]
Aspects related to hatching, lifetime, number of blood meals for molting, mortality, feeding time, and postfeeding defecation delay were evaluated and compared in each instar of three North American Triatominae: Triatoma gerstaeckeri, Triatoma lecticularia and Triatoma protracta, all of them fed on rabbits.
