More than a third of the world population is at constant risk of contracting some insect-
transmitted disease, such as Dengue fever, Zika virus disease, malaria, Chagas' disease …

Abstract Triatomines (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae), commonly known as conenose
or kissing bugs, includes species of outstanding medical importance given their role as …

Using the blood-sucking kissing bug, Rhodnius prolixus as an experimental model, we have
studied the involvement of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and adipokinetic hormone (AKH) …

Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) has been associated with the control of energy metabolism in a
large number of arthropod species due to its role on the stimulation of lipid, carbohydrate …

Encosternum delegorguei Spinola (Hemiptera: Tessaratomidae) are consumed as relish
and with traditional claims of having medicinal roles in the South-Eastern districts of …

In metazoans, neuronal and endocrine communication is based on the release of
extracellular signalling molecules that are recognised in a physiological concentration range …

Lipid storage must be efficiently mobilized to sustain the energy demands during processes
of exercise or starvation. In insects, adipokinetic hormone (AKH) and brummer lipase are …

We have examined the distribution and physiological effects of three evolutionarily and
sequence-related neuropeptides in Rhodnius prolixus. These neuropeptides, adipokinetic …

The Hemiptera comprise the most species-rich order of the hemimetabolous insects.
Members of a number of superfamilies, most notably especially the more basal ones such as …

Neuropeptides and their G protein‐coupled receptors are widespread throughout M etazoa
and in several cases, clear orthologues can be identified in both protostomes and …
