Empowering communities through One Health and ArtScience: An innovative approach to combat Chagas disease in endemic areas of Minas Gerais, Brazil

Public Health Challenges, Volume 4, Issue 1, March 2025.
This study combines One Health and ArtScience to address Chagas disease in Latin America through Chagas Express XXI in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Six workshops revealed significant gaps in local understanding of transmission and control, emphasizing the need for education tailored to endemic socio‐environmental contexts.

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.

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.

Observations on the Domestic Ecology of Rhodnius ecuadoriensis (Triatominae) [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Rhodnius ecuadoriensis infests peridomiciles and colonises houses in rural southern Ecuador. Six out of 84 dwellings (7%) surveyed in a rural village were infested (78 bugs/infested domicile; 279 bugs were collected in a single dwelling). Precipitin tests revealed R.

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.

Chromosome numbers in the Triatominae (Hemiptera-Reduviidae): a review [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1996
The chromosome numbers of 46 out of the 122 currently recognized species of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) are summarized. We present the number of autosomes, the sex mechanism and the first reference for each karyotype.

A revised classification of the assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae) based on combined analysis of phylogenomic and morphological data

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 102-138, January 2025.
This study produces the first combined morphological and molecular phylogenetic analysis for Reduviidae and reveals synapomorphies and diagnostic traits for clades at the ranks of subfamilies and tribes. Based on our resulting robust phylogenetic reconstructions and subsequent optimization of morphological character information, we propose a ...

Cytogenetic studies on Mepraia gajardoi (Heteroptera: Reduviidae). Chromosome behaviour in a spontaneous translocation mutant

European Journal of Entomology, 2004
We analysed the chromosome complement and male meiosis in a natural population of Mepraia gajardoi (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae). The normal karyotype of this species is 20 autosomes plus X1X2Y in males and X1X1X2X2 in females. We confirmed that M.
