Triatomine physiology in the context of trypanosome infection
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2017Triatomines are hematophagous insects that feed on the blood of vertebrates from different taxa, but can occasionally also take fluids from invertebrate hosts, including other insects. During the blood ingestion process, these insects can acquire diverse parasites that can later be transmitted to susceptible vertebrates if they complete their ...

Triatomines as Vectors of American Trypanosomiasis
2012Triatomine bugs are the biggest blood-sucking insects, with adults up to 41 mm long. They are well adapted to hematophagy, possessing fine mouthparts to ingest blood from the capillaries of the warm-blooded hosts. Hematophagy is supported by the salivary glands, a “chemical factory” producing hundreds of compounds, some of them acting as local ...

Amines from vertebrates guide triatomine bugs to resources
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2014Most triatomine bugs (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) are nest-living insects that require vertebrate blood or invertebrate haemolymph to complete their life cycle. Vertebrates accumulate excretory products in or near their nesting sites and we hypothesize that triatomines use emanations from such host wastes when searching for resources.

Infection of triatomines with Trypanosoma cruzi
1997The scientist who discovered American trypanosomiasis (Chagas’ disease), Carlos Chagas, not only wisely recognized the disease as a clinical entity, but also identified its causative agent (Trypanosoma cruzi) and its haematophagous (triatomine) insect vector (Chagas, 1909).

Giemsa banding of metaphase chromosomes in triatomine bugs
Nature, 1974CONSIDERABLE progress has been made in developing the formal genetics and cytogenetics of several insect vectors of disease1,2, notably with mosquitoes, houseflies and tsetse flies in which the polytene chromosomes provide suitable material for detailed analysis of chromosome morphology.
