House-level risk factors for Triatoma dimidiata infestation in Colombia. [PDF]
, 2015 In Colombia, the main vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, are Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma dimidiata. T. dimidiata is present in the east region of Colombia as domestic, peridomestic, and sylvatic populations, resulting

Natural Products from Mexican Medicinal Plants as Promising Trypanocidal Drugs
ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 37, October 6, 2025.Chagas disease (American Trypanosomiasis) is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Worldwide it is one of the seventeen neglected tropical diseases. There is a need of new drugs. This review assesses the literature (2012‐2024) of secondary metabolites isolated from Mexican plants active against this parasite.

Bacterial community composition in the salivary glands of triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018 Background Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is transmitted through triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae). In the last year, many studies of triatomine gut microbiota have outlined its potential role in modulating vector ...

Phylogenetics based on partial ORF2 of Triatoma Virus in Triatomines Collected Over a Decade from Domiciliary Habitats [PDF]
, 2015 The only virus sequenced and studied in triatomines is the Triatoma virus (TrV), from the the Dicistroviridae family which causes delayed development, reduced oviposition and premature death of infected insects.

Oogenesis and egg development in triatomines: a biochemical approach [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2005 In triatomines, as well as in other insects, accumulation of yolk is a process in which an extra-ovarian tissue, the fat body, produces yolk proteins that are packed in the egg. The main protein, synthesized by the fat body, which is accumulated inside the oocyte, is vitellogenin. This process is also known as vitellogenesis.

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.Dogs are major reservoirs of Trypanosoma cruzi in Texas, United States. This study evaluated a novel Tc‐24 recombinant antigen ELISA for the serologic detection of Chagas disease in dogs and found it to have high sensitivity and specificity compared to existing commercial tests. The Tc‐24 Chagas ELISA provides a reliable tool for enhanced canine Chagas

Sugar feeding in triatomines: a new perspective for controlling the transmission of Chagas disease
Frontiers in PhysiologyIntroduction: Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Currently, there is no vaccine against this disease. Thus, control of the insect vector population is the main strategy available to reduce the number of
