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

The control of insect pests and vectors is a timely challenge for public health. The prevention
of bites from bloodsucking insect species is based to a large extent on the use of chemical …

The Triatominae are vectors for Trypanosoma cruzi, the aetiological agent of the neglected
tropical Chagas disease. Their distribution stretches across Latin America, with some …

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 …

Chagas disease persists as one of the most important, and yet most neglected, diseases in
the world, and several changes in its epidemiological aspects have been recorded since its …

Triatoma rubrofasciata (T. rubrofasciata), one kind of triatomine insects, is the vector of
Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), which lead to American trypanosomiasis. Although the gut …

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

In this chapter, factors of vector–host–parasite associations that highlight the evolutionary
course of Chagas disease and how these interactions account for the observed distribution …

The multiplicity of epidemiological scenarios shown by Chagas Disease, derived from
multiple transmission routes of the aetiological agent, occurring on multiple geo …

This is the first study to explore the potential of various geometric morphometrics methods to
help the morphological diagnostic of tsetse species, vectors of human and animal …
