| infection of kissing bugs with trypanosoma cruzi, tucson, arizona, usa. | triatomine insects (hemiptera: reduviidae), commonly known as kissing bugs, are a potential health problem in the southwestern united states as possible vectors of trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of chagas disease. although this disease has been traditionally restricted to latin america, a small number of vector-transmitted autochthonous us cases have been reported. because triatomine bugs and infected mammalian reservoirs are plentiful in southern arizona, we collected triatomines inside ... | 2010 | 20202413 |
| Feeding and defecation behavior of Triatoma rubida (Uhler, 1894) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) under laboratory conditions, and its potential role as a vector of Chagas disease in Arizona, USA. | Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans by blood-sucking triatomine insects. This disease is endemic throughout Mexico and Central and South America, but only a few autochthonous cases have been reported in the United States, despite the fact that infected insects readily invade houses and feed on humans. Competent vectors defecate during or shortly after feeding so that infective feces contact the host. We thus studied the feeding and defecatio ... | 2011 | 21976567 |
| genetic variation, population structure, and phylogenetic relationships of triatoma rubida and t. recurva (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) from the sonoran desert, insect vectors of the chagas' disease parasite trypanosoma cruzi. | nucleotide and amino acid sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytb) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coi) gene segments were used to gain insights into the population biology and phylogenetic relationships of two species of hematophagous kissing bugs (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) from the sonoran desert of northwestern mexico and southern arizona, usa, triatoma rubida (uhler, 1894) and t. recurva (stål, 1868), both of which are vectors of the protozoan parasite trypanoso ... | 2006 | 16934496 |
