Feeding and defecation behavior of Triatoma rubida (Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) under laboratory conditions, and its potential role as a vector of chagas disease in Arizona, USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by blood-sucking triatomine insects. This disease is endemic throughout Mexico and Central and South America, but only a few autochthonous cases have been reported

Effects of the alarm pheromone on Triatoma pallidipennis behaviour

open access: yesPhysiological Entomology, EarlyView.
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,

Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius) as Vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2015
Populations of the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, have recently undergone explosive growth. Bed bugs share many important traits with triatomine insects, but it remains unclear whether these similarities include the ability to transmit Trypanosoma ...

COVID‐19 pandemic impact on blood donations and discards from screening tests for transfusion‐transmitted infections in a Brazil Brazilian metropolitan area

open access: yesTransfusion Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The COVID‐19 pandemic posed a worldwide challenge for blood services. We aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on blood donations and blood discards resulting from screening tests for transfused‐transmitted infections (TTIs) in a Brazilian metropolitan.

open access: yesRevista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2008
Seven individuals living in a town in the Southwest of Bahia developed sudden signs of cardiac and systemic impairment, with lethality of 28.6%. Serological tests were positive at least in one test in the five patients examined.

Congenital Chagas Disease in the United States: Cost Savings Through Maternal Screening [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted by insect vectors through transfusions, transplants, insect feces in food, and from mother to child during gestation.

How do I interpret transfusion transmissible infectious disease testing in a low‐risk donor population?

open access: yesTransfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Blood donors represent a unique population. Pre‐donation screening questions, donor self‐deferral, and temporary deferral and re‐testing of repeat reactive donors result in lower prevalence of infectious disease compared to the general population.

Action of Trypanosoma rangeli in infections with virulent Trypanosoma cruzi populations

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
In experimental murine infections with Trypanosoma rangeli it has been observed development immune response to Trypanosoma cruzi. The aim of the present work was to analyze the result of antigenic stimuli and the protective effect with T.

Ribosome profiling reveals translation control as a key mechanism generating differential gene expression in Trypanosoma cruzi

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2015
Due to the absence of transcription initiation regulation of protein coding genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II, posttranscriptional regulation is responsible for the majority of gene expression changes in trypanosomatids.
