Biosystematics and evolution of the Triatominae [PDF]

Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2000
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.

Risk factors for triatominae infestation in a municipality of Colombia [PDF]

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease, 2021
Background: Identifying risk factors for Triatominae infestation is essential for the development of vector control interventions. Methods: To determine the intra- and peridomiciliary risk factors associated with triatomine infestation, a cross-sectional

Trypanosoma cruzi infection enhances olfactory response in Triatoma pallidipennis Stål (Hemiptera: Triatominae) to compounds potentially useful for insect control. [PDF]

Med Vet Entomol
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]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
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 ...

Relationship between flight muscle dimorphism and wing morphometry in Triatoma infestans (Klug, 1834) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Triatoma infestans, the primary vector of Chagas disease in southern South America, is reported as a dimorphic species for flight muscle development and presents a marked phenotypic plasticity in traits related to flight.

Exploring the Hidden World of Vectors of Chagas Disease: A Fascinating Look at the Taxonomic Aspects of the Psammolestes Genus (Hemiptera, Triatominae)

Life, 2023
Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected illness affecting approximately seven million individuals, with vector transmission occurring via triatomine bugs. The Rhodniini tribe comprises 24 species, grouped into the Rhodnius and Psammolestes genera.

Molecular detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species in triatomines found in urban households and Peridomiciles in a city with high prevalence of tuberculosis in Northeastern Brazil

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2022
Background: Triatomine insects, native to northeastern Brazil, have been found in the urban peridomicile. The city of Sobral has a high number of tuberculosis cases and several triatomine species.

Trends in Taxonomy of Chagas Disease Vectors (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae): From Linnaean to Integrative Taxonomy

Pathogens, 2021
Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted mainly by members of the subfamily Triatominae. There are currently 157 species, grouped into 18 genera and five tribes.
