Occurrence of triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) and their natural infection by Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909) in Boca do Moa community, Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, Brazil

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2021
INTRODUCTION: Triatomines are insect vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. METHODS: Triatomines were collected from households and by dissecting palm trees in the peri-urban areas of Cruzeiro do Sul (Acre); they were ...

Effect of habitat fragmentation on rural house invasion by sylvatic triatomines: A multiple landscape-scale approach.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
After the decrease of the relative importance of Triatoma infestans, a number of studies reported the occurrence of sylvatic triatomines dispersing actively to domestic environments in the dry western Chaco Region of Argentina.

The Role of Bacterial Symbionts in Triatomines: An Evolutionary Perspective

Microorganisms, 2020
Insects have established mutualistic symbiotic interactions with microorganisms that are beneficial to both host and symbiont. Many insects have exploited these symbioses to diversify and expand their ecological ranges.

Wide distribution of Trypanosoma cruzi-infected triatomines in the State of Bahia, Brazil

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background The identification of Trypanosoma cruzi and blood-meal sources in synanthropic triatomines is important to assess the potential risk of Chagas disease transmission. We identified T.

Interaction of Trypanosoma cruzi, Triatomines and the Microbiota of the Vectors—A Review

Microorganisms
This review summarizes the interactions between Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, its vectors, triatomines, and the diverse intestinal microbiota of triatomines, which includes mutualistic symbionts, and highlights open questions.

Comparative Feeding and Defecation Behaviors of Trypanosoma cruzi-Infected and Uninfected Triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) from the Americas [PDF]

Insects
Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae), the agent of Chagas disease. Stercorarian transmission occurs when infectious parasites are passed in insect feces to vertebrates through the biting wound or mucosa ...

Chemical ecology of triatomines: current knowledge and implications for Chagas disease vector management

Journal of Pest Science, 2023
Triatomines (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae), commonly known as conenose or kissing bugs, includes species of outstanding medical importance given their role as vectors of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas (Kinetoplastida ...
