Insecticide Resistance in Triatomines

2021
The control of Chagas disease vectors has been based principally on spraying dwellings with insecticides. This strategy reduced the geographic range and infestation prevalence of major vectors leading to the interruption of disease transmission in several areas from endemic regions.

Sensory Biology of Triatomines

2021
Sensory systems mediate behaviors such as food, mate and shelter search, habitat selection, avoidance of environmental risks, escape from predators, and communication with conspecifics. Yet, immersed in an environment full of flowing information, triatomines, as other living organisms, must recognize and make use of adequate and sparse sensory stimuli.

The Immune System of Triatomines

2021
All insects rely on an innate immune system to eliminate potentially lethal parasites and pathogens. In kissing bugs, this immune system comprises a plethora of elements that first recognize parasites and pathogens as non-self, followed by a multi-faceted response to eliminate them.

The Pharmacopea within Triatomine Salivary Glands

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
Triatomines are blood-feeding insects that prey on vertebrate hosts. Their saliva is largely responsible for their feeding success. The triatomine salivary content has been studied over the past decades, revealing multifunctional bioactive proteins targeting the host´s hemostasis and immune system.

Infecting Triatomines with Trypanosomes

2020
The infection of triatomines with trypanosomes can be performed with different forms of the parasite, and the procedure is important not only for vector-parasite interaction studies but also for maintaining the infectivity of parasite strains, which guarantees more realistic biological and molecular investigations.

Oogenesis and egg development in triatomines: a biochemical approach [PDF]

open access: yesAnais Da Academia Brasileira De Ciencias, 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.

Survival of Arboviruses in Trypanosome-Infected Triatomines

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977
The potential of triatomines to maintain arboviruses was demonstrated by the ability of Rhodinius prolixus with experimentally punctured abdomen to harbor Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus for at least 4 months and St. Louis encephalitis virus for 1 month.
