The ecology and genetics of Chagas disease vectors in Ecuador, with emphasis on Rhodnius ecuadoriensis (Hemiptera : Reduviidae : Triatominae) [PDF]

An estimate >11 million people are infected by Trypanosoma cruzi in Latin America. Chagas disease control programmes have been successful in the Southern Cone countries, and similar initiatives are underway in the Andean ...

RNA as a feasible marker of Trypanosoma cruzi viability during the parasite interaction with the triatomine vector Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera, Triatominae)

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2022
A recurring question concerning Trypanosoma cruzi DNA detection/quantification is related to the fact that DNA amplification, by itself, does not differentiate between viable or dead parasites.

Phylogenetic multi-locus codon models and molecular clocks reveal the monophyly of haematophagous reduviid bugs and their evolution at the formation of South America.

, 2010
We previously constructed a single molecular clock to date insect evolution that remains a cornerstone within entomological dating. The insect clock predicts that triatomine bugs, the vectors of South American trypanosomiasis, originated with the ...

Trypanosomiasis vector control in Africa and Latin America. [PDF]

, 2008
Vectors of trypanosomiasis - tsetse (Glossinidae) in Africa, kissing-bugs (Triatominae) in Latin America - are very different insects but share demographic characteristics that render them highly vulnerable to available control methods.

Regulation of a Trehalose-Specific Facilitated Transporter (TRET) by Insulin and Adipokinetic Hormone in Rhodnius prolixus, a Vector of Chagas Disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Using the blood-sucking kissing bug, Rhodnius prolixus as an experimental model, we have studied the involvement of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and adipokinetic hormone (AKH) signaling in carbohydrate metabolism, focusing on the regulation of the ...

One Genome, Multiple Phenotypes: Would Rhodnius milesi Carcavallo, Rocha, Galvão & Jurberg, 2001 (Hemiptera, Triatominae) Be a Valid Species or a Phenotypic Polymorphism of R. neglectus Lent, 1954?

Diversity
Species of the Rhodnius genus have a complex taxonomy because the events of phenotypic plasticity and cryptic speciation make it difficult to correctly classify these vectors. During the taxonomic history of the genus, five synonymization events occurred.

Trends in evolution of the Triatomini tribe (Hemiptera, Triatominae): reproductive incompatibility between four species of geniculatus clade

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The geniculatus clade, composed by the rufotuberculatus , lignarius , geniculatus and megistus groups, relates evolutionarily the species of the genus Panstrongylus and Nesotriatoma . Several studies have shown that triatomine hybrids can play

Biology of three species of North American Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) fed on rabbits [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
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.

Molecular Taxonomy of Triatominae [PDF]

, 1966
A 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 hernolymph proteins.
