Humans as blood-feeding sources in sylvatic triatomines of Chile unveiled by next-generation sequencing

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Triatomines are blood-sucking insects capable of transmitting Trypanosoma cruzi , the parasite that causes Chagas disease in humans. Vectorial transmission entails an infected triatomine feeding on a vertebrate host, release of triatomine ...

Chagas Disease Ecology in the United States: Recent Advances in Understanding Trypanosoma cruzi Transmission Among Triatomines, Wildlife, and Domestic Animals and a Quantitative Synthesis of Vector-Host Interactions.

Annual Review of Animal Biosciences, 2021
Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease present in the Americas, is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is transmitted by triatomine kissing bug vectors. Hundreds of vertebrate host species are involved in the ecology of Chagas disease. The

Altitudinal distribution and species richness of triatomines (Hemiptera:Reduviidae) in Colombia

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Chagas disease is considered to be endemic in up to 40% of the territory of Colombia, and to date 27 triatomine species have been reported the country. The purpose of this study was to update the geographical distribution of triatomine species

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 ...

Collection of triatomines from sylvatic habitats by a Trypanosoma cruzi-infected scent detection dog in Texas, USA.

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 ...

Distribution and natural infection status of synantrophic triatomines (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, reveals new epidemiological scenarios for chagas disease in the Highlands of Colombia

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021
Introduction Updating the distribution and natural infection status of triatomine bugs is critical for planning, prioritizing, and implementing strategies to control Chagas disease (CD), especially after vector reduction programs.

Identifying Current and Missing Knowledge in the Control of Pyrethroid-Resistant Triatoma Infestans, Vector of Chagas Disease [PDF]

, 2017
Triatomines are blood-sucking bugs that occur mainly in Latin America. They are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
