Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Little is known about how human disease vectors will modify their life history patterns and survival capacity as a result of climate change. One case is that of Chagas disease, which has triatomine bugs and Trypanosoma cruzi as vectors and parasite ...

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 917-928, December 2025.Satellite DNAs comprise the major component of the Triatoma rubrofasciata repeatome, highlighting their central role in genome composition and architecture. Satellite DNA families show recent amplification in heterochromatin and older, more divergent satellite DNAs located in euchromatin, indicating distinct evolutionary histories.

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2019 INTRODUCTION This study describes the occurrence of triatomines, and their positivity for trypanosomatids, in a residential complex in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil. METHODS Triatomines were collected through direct capture in a home environment. Positivity

Potential geographic displacement of Chagas disease vectors under climate change
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 709-717, December 2025.As a result of modelling the potential distribution of 55 triatomine species in the Neotropical region, with climate change projected for up to 2050, we found no significant changes. With climate change projected for up to 2080 in the Neotropical region, we see a significant potential for the migration of 55 species of triatomines towards the Amazon ...

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 Chagas disease, caused by the Trypanosoma cruzi, has a wide distribution in South America, and its main method of control is the elimination of triatomines. It is presented here the geographic distribution and the rate of natural infection by T. cruzi of

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015 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 ...

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour
Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 374-387, December 2025.T. pallidipennis performs behavioural acts in response to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. T. pallidipennis shows a repellent response when exposed to volatiles emitted by mechanically disturbed conspecifics. Isobutyric and propanoic acids can be used as repellents of T. pallidipennis. Abstract Adults of some Triatomine species,

Genetic basis of triatomine behavior: lessons from available insect genomes
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2013 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 ...
