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

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

Development of an operational trap for collection, killing, and preservation of triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae): the kissing bug kill trap. [PDF]

J Med Entomol
Surveillance of triatomines or kissing bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae), the insect vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, a Chagas disease agent, is hindered by the lack of an effective trap.To develop a kissing bug trap, we made iterative improvements ...

Trypanosoma cruzi-infected triatomines and rodents co-occur in a coastal island of northern Chile

PeerJ, 2020
Trypanosoma cruzi, the cause agent of Chagas disease, is transmitted mainly by blood-feeding insects of the subfamily Triatominae. The T. cruzi life cycle alternates between triatomines and mammalian hosts, excluding birds and reptiles.

Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Mating in Rhodnius prolixus [PDF]

Insects
The kissing bug Rhodnius prolixus is a nocturnal species; however, its temporal mating patterns remain unexplored. Copulation lasts about fifty minutes, during which time the couple remains almost motionless. We hypothesized that R.

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 ...

Abundant triatomines in Texas dog kennel environments: Triatomine collections, infection with Trypanosoma cruzi, and blood feeding hosts

Acta Tropica, 2023
Triatomine insects are vectors of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi- the causative agent of Chagas disease. Chagas disease is endemic to Latin America and the southern United States and can cause severe cardiac damage in infected mammals, ranging from chronic disease to sudden death. Identifying interactions among triatomines, T.

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 ...

<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>/Triatomine Interactions-A Review. [PDF]

Pathogens
This review summarizes the interactions between Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, and its vectors, the triatomines, and highlights open questions. Four important facts should be emphasized at the outset: (1) The development of T. cruzi strains and their interactions with the mammalian host and the insect vector vary greatly. (2)
