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?

Diversity
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.

A Multi-disciplinary Overview of Chagas in Periurban Peru [PDF]

, 2010
There are between 8 and 11 million cases of America Human Trypanosomiasis, commonly known as Chagas disease, in Latin America. Chagas is endemic in southern Peru, especially the Arequipa region, where it has expanded from poor, rural areas to periurban ...

Phylogenetic multi-locus codon models and molecular clocks reveal the monophyly of haematophagous reduviid bugs and their evolution at the formation of South America.

, 2010
We previously constructed a single molecular clock to date insect evolution that remains a cornerstone within entomological dating. The insect clock predicts that triatomine bugs, the vectors of South American trypanosomiasis, originated with the ...

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

Memorias 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.

Lack of Genetic Differentiation of Five Triatomine Species Belonging to the Triatoma rubrovaria Subcomplex (Hemiptera, Reduviidae)

Insects
The Triatoma rubrovaria subcomplex, comprising several triatomine species, plays a significant role in the transmission of Chagas disease in southern Brazil.

Triatomine-Vector of Trypanosoma cruzi Infection [PDF]

, 2009
The lifecycles of the organisms involved in the circulation and transmission of the Trypanosoma cruzi agent of Chagas disease are intimately related. It appears that these cycles begun after an adaptive process in the quaternary, Mezozoic, Cretaceus, over 90 million years ago.

The Impact of Environmental and Housing Factors on the Distribution of Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) in an Endemic Area of Chagas Disease in Puebla, Mexico

Diseases
Background: Chagas disease (CD), a Neglected Tropical Disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, affects millions of people in Latin America and the southern US and spreads worldwide.

Daily rhythm of aggregation in the haematophagous bug Triatoma infestans (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2007
Triatomine bugs show a temporal modulation of many activities. Here, we analyse the daily modulation of the aggregation behaviour of Triatoma infestans larvae and its chronobiological basis.

Biocide activity of Annona coriacea seeds extract on Rhodnius neglectus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013
The use of synthetic insecticides for insect control may lead to different kind of problems, such as vector resistance to insecticides. To avoid these problems, a new research area to study botanical products as possible disease vectors controls, has ...
