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 …

A checklist of the current valid species of the subfamily Triatominae Jeannel, 1919 (Hemiptera,
Reduviidae) and their geographical distribution, with nomenclatural and taxonomic notes …

Abstract Background The Triatomini and Rhodniini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) tribes include
the most diverse Chagas disease vectors; however, the phylogenetic relationships within the …

The most representative sample of molecular data, especially 16S and 12S rDNAs, is used
to study the phylogeny and evolution of 57 species of three tribes, Rhodniini, Linshcosteini …

Background Among Chagas disease triatomine vectors, the largest genus, Triatoma,
includes species of high public health interest. Triatoma dimidiata, the main vector …

Simple Summary Although all triatomines are potential vectors of Chagas' disease, there are
species with greater or lesser vectorial importance. Therefore, the correct identification of …

Triatominae are the largest radiation of haematophagous species within the true bugs
(Hemiptera) and the sole vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas, the causative agent of …

The expected success of Chagas disease control programs in the Southern Cone countries
relied on the assumption that Triatoma infestans, the main domestic vector, did not maintain …

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 …
