Was Chagas disease responsible for Darwin’s illness? The overlooked eco‑epidemiological context in Chile
(Soc Biolgia Chile, 2021)
The source of Darwin’s illness has been a contentious issue in the literature for almost 70 years. Different causal factors
have been invoked to account for his symptoms, including Chagas disease. The Chagas hypothesis ...
Chagas disease parasite induces behavioural changes in the kissing bug Mepraia spinolai
(ELSEVIER, 2006-07)
Parasites have been shown to manipulate the feeding behaviour of their invertebrate vectors, which results in an increased probability of transmission to definitive hosts. Most evidence for this hypothesis comes from ...
Transcriptomics supports local sensory regulation in the antenna of the kissing-bug Rhodnius prolixus
(BioMed Central, 2020-01-30)
Background: Rhodnius prolixus has become a model for revealing the molecular bases of insect sensory biology due to the publication of its genome and its well-characterized behavioural repertoire. Gene expression modulation ...

(Soc Brasileira Medicina Tropical, 2021-01-01)
This study reports the first occurrence of Psammolestes tertius (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in the state of Sergipe, Brazil. Methods: In 2020, 95 specimens were collected from the municipality of Porto da Folha, ...
First report of Microtriatoma borbai Lent & Wygodzinsky, 1979 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae, Triatominae) in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil: would M. borbai be living in eucalyptus crops?

Ecological patterns of blood-feeding by kissing-bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae)
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, 2011-04)
Host use by vectors is important in understanding the transmission of zoonotic diseases, which can affect humans, wildlife and domestic animals. Here, a synthesis of host exploitation patterns by kissing-bugs, vectors of ...
Stridulation in the wild kissing bug Mepraia spinolai: description of the stridulatory organ and vibratory disturbance signal
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Stridulation is a type of communication in which a mechanical signal is emitted by the friction of two rigid structures. Stridulation is present in kissing bugs (Reduviidae: Triatominae), where the friction of the proboscis ...
