| could the bug triatoma sherlocki be vectoring chagas disease in small mining communities in bahia, brazil? | searches for chagas disease vectors were performed at the type locality from which triatoma sherlocki papa et al. (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae) was described in the municipality of gentio do ouro, in the state of bahia, brazil, and in a small artisan quarry-mining community approximately 13 km distant in a remote area of the same municipality. the latter site represents a new locality record for this species. adults, nymphs and exuviae of t. sherlocki were found in 21% of human dwellings, ... | 2009 | 19941607 |
| biology of triatoma sherlocki (hemiptera: reduviidae) under laboratory conditions: biological cycle and resistance to starvation. | triatoma sherlocki papa, jurberg, carcavallo, cerqueira & barata was described in 2002, based on specimens caught in the wild in the municipality of gentio do ouro, bahia, brazil. in 2009, nymphs and adults were detected inside homes and sylvatic specimens were positive for trypanosoma cruzi (chagas). no information on the bionomics of t. sherlocki exists, although such data are considered essential to estimate its vector and colonization potential in domestic environments. herein, the biologica ... | 2017 | 28399226 |
| revalidation and redescription of triatoma brasiliensis macromelasoma galvão, 1956 and an identification key for the triatoma brasiliensis complex (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae). | triatoma brasiliensis macromelasoma is revalidated based on the results of previous multidisciplinary studies on the triatoma brasiliensis complex, consisting of crossing experiments and morphological, biological, ecological and molecular analyses. these taxonomic tools showed the closest relationship between t. b. macromelasoma and triatoma brasiliensis brasiliensis. t. b. macromelasoma is redescribed based on specimens collected in the type locality and specimens from a f1 colony. the complex ... | 2013 | 24037202 |
| cross-mating experiments detect reproductive compatibility between triatoma sherlocki and other members of the triatoma brasiliensis species complex. | phylogenetic approaches based on mitochondrial dna variation (fragments of cyt b and 16s ribosomal rna) have revealed triatoma sherlocki as the most recent species addition to the triatoma brasiliensis species complex; a monophyletic group which includes t. brasiliensis, triatoma melanica, and triatoma juazeirensis. t. sherlocki is the most differentiated among all species of this complex: it is unable to fly, possesses longer legs than the other members, and has reddish tonality in some parts o ... | 2013 | 23850508 |
