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

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 ...

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

Sugar feeding in triatomines: a new perspective for controlling the transmission of Chagas disease [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyIntroduction: Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Currently, there is no vaccine against this disease. Thus, control of the insect vector population is the main strategy available to reduce the number of

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

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 ...

Everybody loves sugar : first report of plant feeding in triatomines [PDF]
, 2016 Background Triatomines, which are the vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, have been considered to be exclusive blood feeders for more than 100 years, since the discovery of Chagas disease.
