Field tests of carbon dioxide and conspecifics as baits for Mepraia spinolai, wild vector of Chagas disease
(2002)
In spite of extensive evidence showing an association between host stimuli and insect finding behaviour, the importance of carbon dioxide in attracting Triatominae is not entirely understood. We assessed the potential of ...
Report of Milichiella Lacteipennis Loew ( DIPTERA: MILICHIIDAE ), Attracted to Various Crushed Bugs ( HEMIPTERA: COREIDAE & PENTATOMIDAE )
(2012-11-02)
Diez especies en cuatro familias de hemípteros: Coreidae, Pentatomidae, Reduviidae, y Rhyparochromidae fueron aplastadas con las manos para estudiar su atracciíon hacia Milichiella Lacteipennis Loew (Diptera: Milichiidae. ...
Ciclo de vida de panstrongylus geniculatus (hemiptera: reduviidae) en condiciones de laboratorio
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 1998-01-01)
Dentro de los triatominos se encuentran los vectores de la enfermedad de Chagas, la cual es una protozoosis causada por Trypanosoma cruzi, prevalente en los países latinoamericanos, donde afecta acerca de 18 millones de ...
First report of mites of the genus Leptus (Trombidiformes: Erythraeidae) on the endemic kissing bug Mepraia spinolai (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
In this study, we report the first record of mites of the genus Leptus (Latreille, 1796)
(Trombidiformes: Erythraeidae) found on the triatomine Mepraia spinolai (Maza, Gajardo and
Jorg, 1940) (Hemiptera: Rudiviidae), one ...
Phylogenetic Relationships of the Spinolai Complex and Other Triatomini Based on Mitochondrial DNA Sequences (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2013)
In this study, we performed a phylogenetic analysis of 35 species of the tribe Triatomini by means of available
16S ribosomal DNA and cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene sequence data, adding taxa of the spinolai complex, to ...
DNA evidence of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Chilean wild vector Mepraia spinolai (Hemiptera : Reduviidae)
(FUNDACO OSWALDO CRUZ, 2005-05)
Molecular evidence showed 46.2% of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Mepraia spinolai insects from North-Central Chile, which is significantly higher than previous reports of up to 26% by microscopic observation. Our results ...
Trypanosoma cruzi-infected triatomines and rodents co-occur in a coastal island of northern Chile
(Peerj Inc, 2020)
Trypanosoma cruzi, the cause agent of Chagas disease, is transmitted mainly by blood-feeding insects of the subfamily Triatominae. The T. cruzi life cycle alternates between triatomines and mammalian hosts, excluding birds ...
Lizards and rabbits may increase Chagas infection risk in the Mediterranean-type ecosystem of South America
(Nature, 2020)
Studies of host-parasite relationships largely benefit from adopting a multifactorial approach, including the complexity of multi-host systems and habitat features in their analyses. Some host species concentrate most ...
