Identifying Trypanosoma cruzi discreet typing units in triatomines collected in different natural regions of Perú

open access: yesBiomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2017
Introduction: Trypanosoma cruzi has been divided by international consensus into six discrete typing units (DTU): TcI, TcII, TcIII, TcIV, TcV y TcVI. The factors determining the dynamics of T. cruzi genotypes vector transmission of Chagas’ disease in the

Immune protection against Trypanosoma cruzi induced by TcVac4 in a canine model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is endemic in southern parts of the American continent. Herein, we have tested the protective efficacy of a DNA-prime/T. rangeli-boost (TcVac4) vaccine in a dog (Canis familiaris) model.

Appetence behaviours of the triatomine bug Rhodnius prolixus on a servosphere in response to the host metabolites carbon dioxide and ammonia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A combination of 1,000ppm CO2 plus 30-40ppb NH3 in an air stream induced Rhodnius prolixus nymphs walking on a servosphere to perform a series of appetence behaviours.

One Genome, Multiple Phenotypes: Would Rhodnius milesi Carcavallo, Rocha, Galvão & Jurberg, 2001 (Hemiptera, Triatominae) Be a Valid Species or a Phenotypic Polymorphism of R. neglectus Lent, 1954?

open access: yesDiversity
Species of the Rhodnius genus have a complex taxonomy because the events of phenotypic plasticity and cryptic speciation make it difficult to correctly classify these vectors. During the taxonomic history of the genus, five synonymization events occurred.

Evaluation of cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisae as baits for Triatoma dimidiata and Triatoma pallidipennis

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
We tested the attraction of Triatoma dimidiata and T. pallidipennis to traps baited with yeast volatiles. Two traps were simultaneously presented in opposite sides of an experimental arena.
