Chagas disease: what is known and what is needed - A background article

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
Chagas disease began millions of years ago as an enzootic disease of wild animals and started to be transmitted to man accidentally in the form of an anthropozoonosis when man invaded wild ecotopes. Endemic Chagas disease became established as a zoonosis

Spatial distribution of triatomines in domiciles of an urban area of the Brazilian Southeast Region

open access: yesMemórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016
Reports of triatomine infestation in urban areas have increased. We analysed the spatial distribution of infestation by triatomines in the urban area of Diamantina, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.

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.

Proteases of haematophagous arthropod vectors are involved in blood-feeding, yolk formation and immunity : a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ticks, triatomines, mosquitoes and sand flies comprise a large number of haematophagous arthropods considered vectors of human infectious diseases. While consuming blood to obtain the nutrients necessary to carry on life functions, these insects can ...

Synanthropic triatomines as potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi in Central Brazil.

open access: yesRevista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2017
INTRODUCTION Chagas disease surveillance requires current knowledge on synanthropic triatomines. We analyzed the occurrence and Trypanosoma cruzi infection rates of triatomine bugs in central Brazil, during 2012-2014. METHODS Triatomines were collected

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

On triatomines, cockroaches and haemolymphagy under laboratory conditions: new discoveries

open access: yesMemórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016
For a long time, haematophagy was considered an obligate condition for triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) to complete their life cycle. Today, the ability to use haemolymphagy is suggested to represent an important survival strategy for some species ...

A CO2-Free Synthetic Host–Odor Mixture that Attracts and Captures Triatomines: Effect of Emitted Odorant Ratios

open access: yesJournal of medical entomology, 2016
Triatomines, vectors of Chagas Disease, are hematophagous insects. Efforts have been made to develop synthetic attractants based on vertebrate odor—to lure them into traps.

Phenetic analysis of Panstrongylus megistus Burmeister, 1835 (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) in the State of Paraná-Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009
Panstrongylus megistus is an important Chagas Disease vector and is said to be one of the species that might replace Triatoma infestans as the main vector of that disease in Brazil. The different degrees of P.

[Triatomine: ovicidal action of some pyretroids].

open access: yesRevista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2002
The insecticidal action on eggs of triatomine have been little considered in the control activitys of Chagas' disease. With objective [corrected] of to compare the potential of three synthetic pyrethroids (deltamethrin,alphacypermethrin and lambdacyhalothrin) on eggs, the authors realized laboratory tests.
