Triatominae as a model of morphological plasticity under ecological pressure

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1999
The use of biochemical and genetic characters to explore species or population relationships has been applied to taxonomic questions since the 60s. In responding to the central question of the evolutionary history of Triatominae, i.e.

Taxonomy, Evolution, and Biogeography of the Rhodniini Tribe (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Diversity, 2020
The Triatominae subfamily includes 151 extant and three fossil species. Several species can transmit the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, significantly impacting public health in Latin American countries.

Triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) prevalent in the northwest of Peru: species with epidemiological vectorial capacity [PDF]

, 2007
: The development of strategies for the adequate control of the vector transmission of Chagas disease depends on the availability of updated data on the triatomine species present in each region, their geographical ...

Host‐Specificity and Network Structure of Tick Microbiota in Co‐Distributed Species From the Iberian Peninsula

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We investigate the community composition and structure of microbiota across natural populations of three co‐distributed tick species in the central Iberian Peninsula. Our results revealed a complex and diverse microbiota, while all tick species exhibited a shared core microbiota.

Cutaneous reactions during treatment with Nifurtimox or Benznidazole among Trypanosoma cruzi seropositive adults without symptomatic cardiomyopathy: A safety sub analysis of a placebo‐controlled randomised trial

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 7, Page 673-684, July 2025.
Abstract Objectives To determine, in a randomised placebo‐controlled trial, if cutaneous adverse reactions during treatment (CARDT) with Benznidazole occur as often as with Nifurtimox, and whether the dose and duration of treatment change that frequency.

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.

Rewiring the Vehicle: Trypanosoma cruzi Parasites Alter the Antennae of Their Triatomine Hosts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Parasite Trypanosoma cruzi infects triatomine bugs. Infection induces antennal sensillum change in distribution and number in bugs. Antennal sensillum changes can make the bugs' search for food more efficient. ABSTRACT This study investigates the antennal phenotype of the kissing bug Triatoma pallidipennis (Stål), a primary vector of Chagas disease, by

Nuclear rDNA-based molecular clock of the evolution of triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), vectors of Chagas disease

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
The evolutionary history and times of divergence of triatomine bug lineages are estimated from molecular clocks inferred from nucleotide sequences of the small subunit SSU (18S) and the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS-2) of the nuclear ribosomal ...

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.
