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 ...

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour
Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 374-387, December 2025.T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,

Spermatogenesis and nucleolar activity in Triatoma klugi (triatomine, Heteroptera) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008 Triatoma klugi is a Chagas disease vector in the Rio Grande do Sul State. Triatominae chromosomes are holocentric and sex chromosomes segregation is post-reductional. In this paper we describe the karyotype of male T. klugi and a meiotic analysis including the nucleolar behavior during spermatogenesis.

Cell Biology International, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1395-1410, November 2025.ABSTRACT Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is a neglected tropical disease with limited treatment options and no available vaccine. Understanding the role of proteins in the parasite's biological cycle is critical for advancing vaccine development and optimizing therapies.
