A pseudogene, designated as "ps(5.8S+ITS-2)", paralogous to the 5.8S gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-2 of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA), has been recently found in many triatomine species distributed throughout North America, Central ...

ABSTRACT Trypanosoma cruzi undergoes heat stress during its life cycle. In this study, we performed a transcriptomic analysis of the heat shock response in epimastigotes from different T. cruzi strains. In both clone CL Brener and the Y strain, very few to no statistically significant variations were observed in the transcriptome at 37°C, whereas ...

Spatial distribution of synanthropic triatomines in Piaui State, Northeastern Brazil
This study aimed to describe the spatial distribution and assess entomological indicators of synanthropic triatomines in Piaui State, Northeastern Brazil. We used surveillance data on the detection, identification and assessment of natural infection with

Triatomines: Trypanosomatids, Bacteria, and Viruses Potential Vectors? [PDF]
Triatominae bugs are the vectors of Chagas disease, a major concern to public health especially in Latin America, where vector-borne Chagas disease has undergone resurgence due mainly to diminished triatomine control in many endemic municipalities ...

Genetic basis of triatomine behavior: lessons from available insect genomes
Triatomines have been important model organisms for behavioural research. Diverse reports about triatomine host search, pheromone communication in the sexual, shelter and alarm contexts, daily cycles of activity, refuge choice and behavioural plasticity ...

Chagas disease in Canadian blood donors: 15 years of selective testing
Abstract Background and Objectives Chagas disease (Trypanosoma cruzi), prevalent in Mexico, Central and South America, can be transfusion‐transmitted. Selective serological testing of blood donors was implemented over 15 years ago. We describe the trends in infections and characteristics of donors selected for testing.

Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.
