Biosystematics of Old World Triatominae
Acta Tropica, 1997Morphometric analysis of Old World species of Linshcosteus and Triatoma showed the two genera to be well separated. However, although the analysis showed clear distinction between the five species of Linshcosteus, there was considerable overlap between the eight Old World species of Triatoma, including specimens of T.

The Development of Trypanosoma cruzi in Triatominae
Parasitology Today, 2000Trypanosoma cruzi multiplies and differentiates in the digestive tract of triatomine insects. These insects ingest an enormous amount of blood, with ingestion followed very rapidly by a strong diuresis, slow digestion and occasionally long periods of starvation.

Ecology of North American Triatominae
Acta Tropica, 2009In all, 40 native triatomine species and subspecies occur in NA, belonging to six genera from the Triatomini (Triatoma, Paratriatoma, Panstrongylus, Dipetalogaster, Belminus, Eratyrus), and one genus from the Rhodniini (represented by one non-native species Rhodnius prolixus, formerly occurring exclusively in domestic habitats); 28 species are found ...

Origin and Evolution of Triatominae
2021Triatominae, the kissing bugs, are one of the smaller subfamilies of the otherwise predatory hemipteran family Reduviidae, the assassin bugs. Substantial progress has been made during the past decades to resolve phylogenetic relationships between Triatominae and other reduviid subfamilies as well as relationships among the ~150 species currently ...

An overview on the ecology of Triatominae (Hemiptera:Reduviidae)
Acta Tropica, 2015Chagas disease, the American trypanosomiasis, is an important neglected tropical illness caused by the flagellate protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida, Trypanosomatidae) and transmitted by insects of the subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae).

Molecular Taxonomy of Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)1
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1967A taxonomic study of the subfamily Triatominae was conducted to determine systematic relationships using agar gel diffusion methods in the differentiation of ova antigens and electrophoresis to differentiate hemolymph proteins. Agar gel diffusion methods indicated that 2 distinctive Triatominae species from South America could be distinguished from ...

Triatominae of the semi-arid Chaco in central Argentina
Acta Tropica, 2021The epidemiological scenario in central Argentinian Chaco region shows persistence of Triatoma infestans domestic populations in endemic areas, with control interventions historically affected by the economic instability of the region. Considering this situation, we aimed to (i) update the information regarding to the diversity of triatomines present ...

Hematophagous Bugs (Reduviidae, Triatominae)
2015The members of the subfamily Triatominae (Heteroptera, Reduviidae) are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas), the causative agent of Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis. As important vectors, triatomine bugs have attracted ongoing attention, and thus, various aspects of their systematics, biology, ecology, biogeography, and evolution have been ...

Control Strategies Against Triatominae
2010Publisher Summary Control of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) is a primary component of strategies to halt the transmission of Chagas disease, with serological screening of blood donors to reduce the likelihood of transmission through infected blood transfusions.

Chromosome Structure and Evolution of Triatominae: A Review
2021The subfamily Triatominae, vectors of Chagas disease, represents one of the most cytogenetically studied subfamilies within the true bugs. To date, the chromosome numbers of more than 100 out of the 150 recognized species of the subfamily are known, resulting in an extremely stable group in terms of the number of autosomes (18, 20, and 22) and sex ...
