The Role of Bacterial Symbionts in Triatomines: An Evolutionary Perspective [PDF]
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 and 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.

Phylogenetic approach to the study of Triatomines (Triatominae, Heteroptera) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2006 Triatomines are insects belonging to the Hemiptera order, Heteroptera suborder, Reduviidae family and Triatominae subfamily. All members of this subfamily are hematophagous. Triatomines evolved from Reduviidae predators and they are probably polyphyletic

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 ...

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2023 BackgroundTriatomine insects, vectors of the etiologic agent of Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi), are challenging to locate in sylvatic habitats. Collection techniques used in the United States often rely on methods to intercept seasonally dispersing ...

Cuticular hydrocarbons of triatomines [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2007 Triatomine insects (Hemiptera) are the vectors of Chagas disease. Their cuticular surface is covered by a thin layer of lipids, mainly hydrocarbons, wax esters, fatty alcohols, and free or esterified fatty acids. These lipids play a major role in preventing a lethal desiccation, altering the absorption of chemicals and microorganism penetration, they ...

The Neglected Virome of Triatomine Insects [PDF]
Frontiers in Tropical Diseases, 2022 The Triatominae subfamily (Reduviidae) harbors some hematophagous insect species that have been firmly connected to the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. Triatomines not only host and transmit trypanosomatids, but also coexist with a variety of symbiotic microorganisms that generally reside in the insect’s ...

An inside look at the sensory biology of triatomines [PDF]
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017 Although kissing bugs (Triatominae: Reduviidae) are perhaps best known as vectors of Chagas disease, they are important experimental models in studies of insect sensory physiology, pioneered by the seminal studies of Wigglesworth and Gillet more than eighty years ago.
