Classification of the Triatominae has become a complex balance between traditional
approaches and a wide variety of evolutionary interpretations. On the one hand is the need …

In the absence of a fossil record, theories relating to the evolution of protozoa have, for most
of the twentieth century, been based on morphological and life cycle data despite their …

We analyzed the main karyologic changes that have occurred during the dispersion of
Triatoma infestans, the main vector of Chagas disease. We identified two allopatric groups …

Abstract The subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), vectors of Chagas disease,
includes over 140 species. Karyotypic information is currently available for 80 of these …

The evolutionary history and times of divergence of triatomine bug lineages are estimated
from molecular clocks inferred from nucleotide sequences of the small subunit SSU (18S) …

DNA sequence comparison of 412 base-pairs fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome B
gene was used to infer the genetic structure of nine geographical Triatoma infestans …

In the present study, the morphology, color pattern, chromosomal complement and aspects
of meiosis in natural populations at the borders of the distributions of Mepraia gajardoi Frías …

The subfamily Triatominae, vectors of Chagas disease, represents one of the most
cytogenetically studied subfamilies within the true bugs. To date, the chromosome numbers …

The wide geographical distribution of Triatoma dimidiata, one of the three major vectors of
Chagas disease, ranges from Mexico to northern Peru. Since this species occupies a great …

Multiple fragments of mitochondrial DNA genes (cytochrome b, cytochrome oxidase I, and
16S rDNA) were used to evaluate the phylogenetic relationships among Triatoma …
