Simple Summary Triatominae, commonly known as kissing bugs, are blood-feeding insects
that can carry the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi to spread Chagas disease. In this study, we …

Species of the Rhodnius genus have a complex taxonomy because the events of phenotypic
plasticity and cryptic speciation make it difficult to correctly classify these vectors. During the …

In Mexico, more than 30 species of triatomines, vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological
agent of Chagas disease, have been collected. Among them, Triatoma pallidipennis stands …

Chagas disease (CD) is a neglected illness affecting approximately seven million
individuals, with vector transmission occurring via triatomine bugs. The Rhodniini tribe …

The members of the subfamily Triatominae (Heteroptera, Reduviidae) are important
because they feed on vertebrate blood, acting as vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas …

 Abstract In the subfamily Triatominae, the genus Rhodnius is one of the most studied, not
only because of its epidemiological importance, but also because of the difficulty in …

Abstract Background Hybridization events between Triatoma spp. have been observed
under both natural and laboratory conditions. The ability to produce hybrids can influence …

Chagas disease is one of the most significant vector-borne diseases in Mexico. The
presence of “sylvatic” triatomine vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas) inside human …

Simple Summary All 155 living species of triatomines are considered to be potential vectors
of Chagas disease. Laboratory and field studies demonstrate that these insects are capable …

Morphological studies applied to the taxonomy of the Triatominae cover various structures
(head, wing, thorax, genitalia, and eggs). Exochorial structures of hybrid eggs were …
