| revalidation of triatoma bahiensis sherlock & serafim, 1967 (hemiptera: reduviidae) and phylogeny of the t. brasiliensis species complex. | triatoma bahiensis sherlock & serafim, 1967, t. lenti sherlock & serafim, 1967, and t. pessoai sherlock & serafim, 1967 were described based on material collected in the brazilian state of bahia. these species were later included in the t. brasiliensis complex based on their geographic distribution. triatoma bahiensis and t. pessoai were subsequently synonymized with t. lenti. however, the phylogenetic position of t. lenti within the t. brasiliensis complex has remained doubtful. this study aims ... | 2016 | 27394816 |
| hybrid collapse confirms the specific status of triatoma bahiensis sherlock and serafim, 1967 (hemiptera, triatominae), an endemic species in brazil. | six to seven million people worldwide are estimated to be infected with trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of chagas disease transmitted mainly by triatomines. triatoma bahiensis was recently collected in the brazilian state of bahia and revalidated using different approaches. the main criterion used to define a "good" biological species is reproductive isolation, so we evaluated the cytogenetics of first-generation (f1) hybrids resulting from the experimental cross between t. bahiensis fema ... | 2017 | 29260653 |
