Triatomines Involved in Domestic and Wild Trypanosoma cruzi Transmission in Concepción, Corrientes, Argentina

, 2002
An entomological and serological survey was performed in three localities of the Department of Concepción, Province of Corrientes, Argentina in 1998 and 1999, to identify triatomines species involved in domestic and wild transmission of Chagas disease ...

Distribution, genetic characteristics and public health implications of Triatoma rubrofasciata, the vector of Chagas disease in Guangxi, China

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Triatomines are natural vectors of Chagas disease and are mainly prevalent in the Americas. In China, previous data from decades ago showed that there were two species of triatomine bugs, Triatoma rubrofasciata and T. sinica.

Exploiting triatomine behaviour: alternative perspectives for their control [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Living in close association with a vertebrate host and feeding on its blood requires different types of adaptations, including behavioural adjustments. Triatomines exhibit particular traits associated with the exploitation of their habitat and food sources and these traits have been the subject of intense analysis.

Seroprevalence of Chagas disease in Southern Brazilian cardiac patients and their knowledge about the parasitosis and vectors [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2020
Chagas disease (CD) is considered a typical low-income population sickness of the developing countries in Latin America. Given the historical relevance of CD in individuals in southern Rio Grande do Sul (RS) State, Brazil, the aim of this study was to ...

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...

Peridomestic infestation by Triatoma pallidipennis and natural infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in Zacatepec, Morelos, Mexico Infestación peridoméstica por Triatoma pallidipennis e infección natural por Trypanosoma cruzi en Zacatepec, Morelos, México

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Entomological and community‐related risk factors for Chagas disease were assessed through peridomestic sampling, calculation of entomological indices and surveys of community knowledge, attitudes and practices. Forty‐six triatomines, all identified as Triatoma pallidipennis, were collected, and all specimens showed natural infection with Trypanosoma ...

Sympatry influence in the interaction of Trypanosoma cruzi with triatomine [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2017
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, is widely distributed in nature, circulating between triatomine bugs and sylvatic mammals, and has large genetic diversity. Both the vector species and the genetic lineages of T. cruzi present a varied geographical distribution.

Trypanosoma cruzi Parasite Burdens of Several Triatomine Species in Colombia

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022
Trypanosoma cruzi, the causal agent of Chagas disease, is mainly transmitted by insects of the Triatominae subfamily. In Colombia, there are 26 triatomine species, and 16 of them are naturally infected with the parasite.

Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Mating in Rhodnius prolixus

Insects
The kissing bug Rhodnius prolixus is a nocturnal species; however, its temporal mating patterns remain unexplored. Copulation lasts about fifty minutes, during which time the couple remains almost motionless. We hypothesized that R.
