• Abstract

  The Triatominae subfamily is composed of 153 hematophagous species that are potential vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas disease. Karyotypic studies in triatomines were initiated in 1909. There are 92 karyotypes described, all grouped into the Rhodniini and Triatomini tribes. Recently, a phylogenetic study of the triatomines that combines molecular data with geol…

• Abstract

  Triatomines have been grouped into complexes and subcomplexes based largely on morphological and geographical distribution. Although these groupings are not formally recognised as taxonomic ranks, they are likely monophyletic. However, recent studies have demonstrated that some subcomplexes from South America did not form monophyletic groups, and reorganisations have been suggested. One s…

• Abstract

  Triatoma sordida is currently considered the most frequently captured species in Brazil, being recorded, to date, in 13 Brazilian states. Although its distribution is predominantly peridomiciliary, T. sordida is also able to form numerous intradomiciliary colonies, highlighting it among one of the priorities in triatomine control campaigns in Brazil. Since the cryptic speciation phenomeno…

• Abstract

  Triatomines are hematophagous insects of great importance to public health, since they are considered the main means of transmission of the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Besides the epidemiological importance, these insects are of great relevance in cellular studies, for they present some peculiarities, such as holocentric chromosomes, inverted meiosis to…

  Is there transcriptional activity during nucleolar persistence in the meiosis of triatomines?, BP.MS

• Abstract

  The triatomines are hematophagous insects of great epidemiological importance, since all species are potential insect vector of the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Currently, there are 150 known species, grouped into 18 genera and six tribes. The Rhodniini tribe consists of 22 species, being 19 of the Rhodnius genus and three Psammolestes genus. The species …
