Successional and native forests predict the occurrence and infection status of Chagas disease vectors in Panama

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Findings here show that successional forest predicts greater kissing bug infestation risk in palm trees, whereas native forest predicts lower kissing bug occurrence but greater infection with T. cruzi. These insights can guide land use planning towards vegetation management practices that help minimize T. cruzi transmission risks for rural communities.

Can body traits, other than wings, reflect the flight ability of Triatominae bugs?

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2015
: INTRODUCTION : Insects of the subfamily Triatominae are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi , the Chagas disease parasite, and their flying behavior has epidemiological importance.

Biogeographical factors determining Triatoma recurva distribution in Chihuahua, México, 2014

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2020
Introduction: Triatoma recurva is a Trypanosoma cruzi vector whose distribution and biological development are determined by factors that may influence the transmission of trypanosomiasis to humans.

Sex in Immune Cells and Parasitic Diseases — A Complex Relationship

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Epidemiological studies consistently show that many parasitic diseases affect males more frequently than females. These disparities are multifactorial, arising partly from gender‐specific behaviors that influence exposure risk and health‐seeking practices, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Increasing evidence also highlights that

Timing and directionality of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) lineage dispersals in the Neotropics [PDF]

Frontiers of Biogeography
Triatominae , commonly known as kissing bugs, are hematophagous insects of significant epidemiological concern due to their role as vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Endemism and Conservation of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Endemism patterns of Hemiptera on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) are mainly driven by historical climate change. Existing protected areas do not sufficiently cover endemism hotspots. ABSTRACT The Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau is essential for the maintenance of global biodiversity.
