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 …

In this paper, we determine by fluorescent in situ hybridization the variability in the
chromosomal location of 45S rDNA clusters in 38 species belonging to 7 genera of the …

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 …

The members of the subfamily Triatominae are true bugs specialized in blood-sucking. All
species are potential vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909), the causative agent of …

Abstract The subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), vectors of Chagas disease,
includes over 140 species. Karyotypic information is currently available for 80 of these …

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

The genus Panstrongylus is currently composed of 13 species, several of which are involved
in the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi to humans in South and Central America. Some …

The wide geographical distribution of Triatoma dimidiata, one of the three major vectors of
Chagas disease, ranges from Mexico to northern Peru. Since this species occupies a great …
