Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma
cruzi and transmitted mainly by members of the subfamily Triatominae. There are currently …

Chagas disease is amongst the ten most important neglected tropical diseases but
knowledge on the diversification of its vectors, Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), is very …

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

Simple Summary Triatomines are blood-sucking insects, potential vectors of Trypanosoma
cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Triatoma guazu and Triatoma williami are …

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 …

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

A colony was formed from eggs of a Rhodnius sp. female collected in Taquarussu, Mato
Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and its specimens were used to describe R. taquarussuensis sp. n …

The use of subtle features as species diagnostic traits in taxa with high morphological
similarity sometimes fails in discriminating intraspecific variation from interspecific …

Abstract “Triatoma brasiliensis species complex” was defined as a monophyletic group of
the species: T. brasiliensis, T. juazeirensis, T. melanica, and T. sherlocki. An alternative …

Abstract Background The identification of Trypanosoma cruzi and blood-meal sources in
synanthropic triatomines is important to assess the potential risk of Chagas disease …
