Stridulation in the wild kissing bug Mepraia spinolai: description of the stridulatory organ and vibratory disturbance signal
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019)
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 ...
Infection of kissing bugs with Trypanosoma cruzi, Tucson, Arizona, USA
(Centers Disease Control, 2010-03)
Triatomine insects (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), commonly known as kissing bugs, are a potential health problem in the southwestern United States as possible vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease. ...
What does determine gonad weight in the wild kissing bug Mepraia spinolai?
(2007)
Female fecundity increases with body size in a variety of insects, but it is unknown if this generalization applies for kissing bugs. In this study, we evaluate whether gonad weight in, the bloodsucking insect Mepraia ...
Trypanosoma cruzi infection in the sylvatic kissing bug Mepraia gajardoi from the Chilean Southern Pacific Ocean coast
(ELSEVIER, 2008-02)
The Southern Pacific Ocean coast has been traditionally considered a non-active transmission area for Chagas disease. In this report, we show evidence of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in the sylvatic kissing bug Mepraia ...
An inside look at the sensory biology of triatomines
(Elsevier, 2018)
Age-specific mortality analysis of the dry forest kissing bug, Rhodnius neglectus
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-06)
Age-specific mortality patterns can be very different across insects with different life histories. Some holometabolous insects (like mosquitoes, fruit flies) show a pattern where mortality rate decelerates at older ages, ...
Direct and indirect pathways of fitness-impact in a protozoan-infected kissing bug
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008-03)
Parasites can reduce host fitness through short-term mortality, complete
or partial castration, or slight reductions in host fecundity. Hosts may reduce reproductive
effort as an adaptive strategy to tolerate parasitism. ...
Heterochromatin base pair composition and diversification in holocentric chromosomes of kissing bugs (Hemiptera, Reduviidae)
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2016)
Multidisciplinary approach detects speciation within the kissing bug Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus populations (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Reduviidae)
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz., 2021)
