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 this chapter, we review and update current knowledge about the evolution, systematics,
and biogeography of the Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)—true bugs that feed …

Identifying morphologically similar triatomine species is key to Chagas' disease vector
control and surveillance, but remains challenging when only qualitative phenotypic data are …

We previously constructed a single molecular clock to date insect evolution that remains a
cornerstone within entomological dating. The insect clock predicts that triatomine bugs, the …

Background Triatomine bugs, the vectors of Chagas disease, associate with vertebrate hosts
in highly diverse ecotopes. It has been proposed that occupation of new microhabitats may …

A recent phylogenetic analysis of Triatoma pallidipennis, an important Chagas disease
vector in Mexico, based on molecular markers, revealed five monophyletic haplogroups with …

Abstract Triatominae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Reduviidae) includes 151 extant species that are
all potential vectors of Chagas disease. The relationships among these species have been …

Triatominae Jeannel, 1919 (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) é uma subfamília que se distribui
principalmente pela região Neotropical (Galvão et al., 2003; Rodriguero & Gorla, 2004) …

A doença de Chagas tem como agente etiológico o Trypanosoma cruzi, que é transmitido
ao homem e a outros mamíferos através das fezes infectadas de triatomíneos. Na década …

Background Triatoma dimidiata (Reduviidae: Triatominae) is an important vector of Chagas
disease in various countries in the Americas. Phylogenetic studies have defined three …
