Genomic and functional characterization of a methoprene-tolerant gene in the kissing-bug Rhodnius prolixus
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2015-05)
Metamorphosis, which depends upon a fine balance between two groups of lipid-soluble hormones such as juvenile hormones (JHs) and ecdysteroids, is an important feature in insect evolution. While it is clear that the onset ...
Potential impact of climate change on the geographical distribution of two wild vectors of Chagas disease in Chile: Mepraia spinolai and Mepraia gajardoi
(BioMed Central, 2019-10-14)
Background: Mepraia gajardoi and Mepraia spinolai are endemic triatomine vector species of Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite that causes Chagas disease. These vectors inhabit arid, semiarid and Mediterranean areas of Chile. ...
Genetic diversity in a restricted-dispersal kissing bug: Testing the Center-Periphery Hypothesis.
(2021)
The center-periphery hypothesis (CPH) postulates that populations close to the center of a species’ distribution will exhibit greater genetic diversity and will show lower genetic differentiation than populations located ...
Trypanosoma cruzi parasite load modulates the circadian activity pattern of triatoma infestans
(MDPI, 2022)
Simple Summary We studied the locomotor activity of one of the kissing bug species that transmit the Chagas disease-causing parasite in humans, which usually bites during the night. To date, no other reports researching ...
Conducta de evitación del roedor nativo Octodon degus a las picaduras del insecto hematófago Mepraia spinolai (Reduviidae: Triatominae)
(Universidad de Chile, 2022)
Octodon degus es un roedor endémico de Chile, social y de hábito diurno, que se encuentra en ambientes abiertos con poca vegetación entre las regiones de Atacama y del Maule. Se ha documentado que O. degus es fuente de ...
Heterochromatin base pair composition and diversification in holocentric chromosomes of kissing bugs (Hemiptera, reduviidae)
(Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz, 2016)
The subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) includes 150 species of blood-sucking insects, vectors of Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis. Karyotypic information reveals a striking stability in the number of ...
