(4S,5S)-2,2,4-Triethy1-5-methyl-1,3-dioxolane: A New Volatile Released by a Triatomine Bug
(ACS Journal Publishing Agreement, 2018)
The sexual behaviour of chagas' disease vectors: Chemical signals mediating communication between male and female triatomine bugs
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-01)
Chemical communication mechanisms that mediate sexual behaviour in triatomine bugs are reviewed with regard to source, identity, and function of sex pheromones. Males attempt to copulate but may be rejected, depending on ...
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 ...

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 ...
Blood-meal sources and trypanosoma cruzi infection in coastal and insular triatomine bugs from the Atacama Desert of Chile
(MDPI, 2022)
Mepraia parapatrica is one of the lesser known and less abundant sylvatic triatomine species naturally infected by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. M. parapatrica lives in sympatry ...
