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 several areas from endemic regions.

The Pharmacopea within Triatomine Salivary Glands

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
Triatomines are blood-feeding insects that prey on vertebrate hosts. Their saliva is largely responsible for their feeding success. The triatomine salivary content has been studied over the past decades, revealing multifunctional bioactive proteins targeting the host´s hemostasis and immune system.

Sensory Biology of Triatomines

2021
Sensory systems mediate behaviors such as food, mate and shelter search, habitat selection, avoidance of environmental risks, escape from predators, and communication with conspecifics. Yet, immersed in an environment full of flowing information, triatomines, as other living organisms, must recognize and make use of adequate and sparse sensory stimuli.

Blood Digestion in Triatomine Insects

2021
Triatomine insects had a fundamental role in the establishment of essential concepts of insect physiology, especially thanks to the use of Rhodnius prolixus as a model for basic research in the last century. The major unique feature that made triatomines excellent models is their strictly hematophagous way of life, as molting in nymph stages and ...

The Immune System of Triatomines

2021
All insects rely on an innate immune system to eliminate potentially lethal parasites and pathogens. In kissing bugs, this immune system comprises a plethora of elements that first recognize parasites and pathogens as non-self, followed by a multi-faceted response to eliminate them.

Infecting Triatomines with Trypanosomes

2020
The infection of triatomines with trypanosomes can be performed with different forms of the parasite, and the procedure is important not only for vector-parasite interaction studies but also for maintaining the infectivity of parasite strains, which guarantees more realistic biological and molecular investigations.
