Abstract: As Chagas disease has no cure, vector control is the most effective method of preventing this neglected disease. Generally the anatomical teratologies are associated with hormonal dysfunction of the corpus allatum (juvenile hormone), presents genetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pt.2016.11.002
Abstract: Chagas disease is amongst the ten most important neglected tropical diseases but knowledge on the diversification of its vectors, Triatominae (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), is very scarce. Most Triatominae species occur in the Americas, and are all… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mve.12262
Abstract: In order to assess how triatomines (Hemiptera, Reduviidae), Chagas disease vectors, are distributed through Latin America, we analysed the relationship between the ecological niche and the limits of the physiological thermal niche in seven species… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/pathogens12060797
Abstract: Vector-borne diseases result from the transmission of pathogens, including bacteria, parasites or viruses, by different hematophagous insects such as mosquitoes, phlebotomine sandflies, black flies, ticks, fleas, lice and triatomines, among others [...] read more here.
