Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 725-737, December 2023., 2023 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
Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 28, Issue 9, Page 689-698, September 2023., 2023 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

Allergy, Volume 78, Issue 8, Page 2089-2108, August 2023., 2023 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.

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 Land use changes and biodiversity loss critically disrupts ecosystem functioning and are major drivers of infectious disease outbreaks. Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is a multi‐host parasite whose epidemiology has changed due to the expansion of anthropogenic activities over natural areas.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 920-935, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Kissing bugs (Hempitera: Reduviidae) are obligately and exclusively blood feeding insects. Vertebrate blood is thought to provide insufficient B vitamins to insects, which rely on symbiotic relationships with bacteria that provision these nutrients.

The ecological function of insect egg micropyles
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1113-1123, May 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Insect egg micropyles are openings through the chorion allowing sperm entry for fertilisation. Micropyles are diverse structures showing remarkable variation in number, spatial arrangement and physical structure across extant insect orders.

Antennal Phenotype of Triatoma dimidiata Populations and Its Relationship with Species of phyllosoma and protracta Complexes [PDF]
, 2005 Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille 1811) Reduviidae Triatominae is the main vector of Chagas disease in several countries of Latin America. As for other vector species, the characterization of T. dimidiata subpopulations within particular geographical regions
