Study of the Salivary Glands in Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae): Their Color and Application to the Chagas Disease Vector Evolution [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017
Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by feces of a triatomine that has the habit of defecating during blood feeding. The salivary glands of triatomines are important to hematophagy because their saliva is rich in anticoagulant and hemolytic proteins.

Apoptosis: A Key Process That Trypanosoma cruzi Modulates as a Strategy to Perpetuate Infection

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Apoptosis is a crucial host defense mechanism because it can trigger the immune response and get rid of infected cells. These important goals, among others, are achieved through a fine‐tuned process that culminates in a quiet form of cell death. Apoptosis represents a hindrance for intracellular microorganisms that live inside cells. Nevertheless, they

Monocyte‐derived extracellular vesicles, stimulated by Trypanosoma cruzi, enhance cellular invasion in vitro via activated TGF‐β1

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract During cell invasion, large Extracellular Vesicle (lEV) release from host cells was dose‐dependently triggered by Trypanosoma cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes (Mtr). This lEV release was inhibited when IP3‐mediated Ca2+ exit from the ER and further Ca2+ entry from plasma membrane channels was blocked, but whilst any store‐independent Ca2 ...

Modelling the climatic suitability of Chagas disease vectors on a global scale

eLife, 2020
The Triatominae are vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of the neglected tropical Chagas disease. Their distribution stretches across Latin America, with some species occurring outside of the Americas.

Spermiotaxonomy of the tribe Rhodniini (Hemiptera, Triatominae)

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2016
The tribe Rhodniini is a monophyletic group composed of 22 species, with 19 in the Rhodnius genus and three in the Psammolestes genus. These insects are morphologically very similar (cryptic species), and new tools are important for investigating the taxonomy of these vectors.

First Report of Seropositivity to Trypanosoma cruzi in Mexican Afro‐Descendants from Guerrero and Oaxaca States

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Mexican Afro‐descendant is a population poorly studied in many aspects, between them the infectious diseases that they suffer. This population is mainly found in the country’s Pacific (Oaxaca and Guerrero states) and Atlantic (Veracruz) coast. In these regions, a diversity of triatomine vectors of the Chagas disease is found. Also, all the genotypes of

Vigilancia de la presencia de triatominos mediante gallineros en el sur de Jalisco, México

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2010
Introducción. En México, la enfermedad de Chagas es un problema de salud pública. Se han registrado, al menos, 30 especies de triatominos vectores, la mayoría con hábitos domésticos y tendencia a invadir las viviendas humanas. Objetivo.

Triatominae in furnariid nests of the Argentine Gran Chaco [PDF]

Journal of Vector Ecology, 2014
Triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) are bloodsucking insects involved in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, an important public health problem in Latin America. The triatomine species found in sylvatic habitats generally play a limited epidemiological role compared to domestic species, but they may act as a ...

Ecoepidemiology of Chagas Disease in a Biological Corridor in Southeastern Mexico: A Promising Approach to Understand the Risk of Chagas Disease

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Ecoepidemiology is an emerging field that attempts to explain how biotic, environmental, and even social factors influence the dynamics of infectious diseases. Particularly in vector‐borne diseases, the study under this approach offers us an overview of the pathogens, vectors, and hosts that coexist in a given region and their ecological determinants ...
