| triatomines as experimental vectors of trypanosomes of asian monkeys. | systematic surveys of the wild macaques of south asia by blood culture resulted in the discovery that trypanosomiasis is enzootic in the simians of indonesia, malaysia, india, and thailand. the isolates obtained differ in morphology, metabolism, and ability to multiply in arthropods. following this discovery, interest focused on possible transmissions of these trypanosomiases. laboratory-reared and wild-caught insects were studied to determine which are satisfactory intermediate hosts and potent ... | 1978 | 417639 |
| [triatominae capable of transmitting trypanosoma cruzi in cuba]. | a brief review of the species of the genus triatoma that have been described in some epidemiology books is made. triatoma rubrofasciata has been found at the oriente province in our country. triatoma flavida has been found at the pinar del río, las villas, camagüey, and oriente provinces. both insects transmit the chagas' disease. | 1976 | 830048 |

| studies on trypanosomes in the taiwan monkey. | fifty-three or 9% of 594 taiwan monkeys, macaca cyclopis, were found infected with a trypanosome species. the parasites were recovered from monkey blood in diaphasic blood-agar culture medium with a locke's solution overlay. trypanosomes were found on only a few thick blood smears and no dividing or multiplying forms were found. some of the organisms had a free-flagellum (4.7 microns), an undulating membrane and both ends of the body were pointed. the total length averaged 41.7 microns; nucleus ... | 1983 | 6673131 |
| life cycle and reproductive patterns of triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer, 1773) (hemiptera: reduviidae), under laboratory conditions. | the life cycle and reproductive patterns of triatoma rubrofasciata were studied along with laboratory conditions for the establishment of a prolific colony. the insects were divided into four groups: two of them were maintained at room temperature (20.5 degrees c to 33 degrees c and 85% +/- 5% of relative humidity), the other two in a climatic chamber (cc) (temperature: 29 degrees c, humidity: 80% +/- 5%). the groups were fed weekly or fortnightly on swiss mice. the females from the group kept i ... | 1998 | 9711347 |
| resistance to starvation of triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer, 1773) under laboratory conditions (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae). | the present work aims at learning the period of resistance to starvation (molting/death) of triatoma rubrofasciata in different stages of development and the respective loss of weight until death. eggs of specimens from the greater area of the city of são luis in the state of maranhão, brazil, yielded approximately 300 nymphs. these nymphs were placed in labelled borrel glasses, in which they were weekly fed on rats (rattus norvegicus), until reaching the stage to be observed. the experiments we ... | 1998 | 9711348 |

| population morphometric analysis of the tropicopolitan bug triatoma rubrofasciata and relationships with old world species of triatoma: evidence of new world ancestry. | quantitative analysis of morphological characters of the head was used to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the tropicopolitan bug triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer) (hemiptera: reduviidae) and seven species of old world triatoma. multivariate analysis demonstrates that t. rubrofasciata and the old world species have a high degree of similarity with nearctic triatoma species, particularly t. rubida (uhler). we interpret this to imply a common ancestry for these groups. dissemination of t. ru ... | 2001 | 11776464 |
| phylogeny and biogeography of triatominae (hemiptera: reduviidae): molecular evidence of a new world origin of the asiatic clade. | the most representative sample of molecular data, especially 16s and 12s rdnas, is used to study the phylogeny and evolution of 57 species of three tribes, rhodniini, linshcosteini, and triatomini, of the subfamily triatominae. for the first time both new world and old world species are brought together in a single phylogenetic analysis. maximum-parsimony and distance estimation place both the asiatic representatives, linshcosteus and triatoma rubrofasciata, as sister groups. the linshcosteus-t. ... | 2002 | 12099798 |
| glandular areas associated with the male genitalia in triatoma rubrofasciata (triatominae, reduviidae, hemiptera) and other reduviidae. | in this paper, glandular areas associated with the phallus in triatoma rubrofasciata are described and illustrated for the first time. the glandular areas lie in the membrane surrounding the articulatory apparatus. in order to unambiguously define the locality of the respective glandular areas, some features of the pygophore-phallus connection are redescribed. a possible functional context of the gland secretions is discussed. a preliminary study of several other reduviidae implies that the desc ... | 2003 | 14595454 |
| the rising importance of triatoma rubrofasciata. | the migration of invasive vector species has contributed to the worldwide extension of infectious diseases such as dengue (aedes aegypti) and chikungunya (aedes albopictus). it is probably a similar behaviour for certain vectors of chagas disease which allowed it to become a continental burden in latin america. one of them, triatoma rubrofasciata has also been spreading throughout the tropical and subtropical world. here, the recent and massive peridomestic presence of t. rubrofasciata in vietna ... | 2015 | 25807471 |
| the kiss of death: a rare case of anaphylaxis to the bite of the "red margined kissing bug". | triatoma (kissing bugs), a predatory genus of blood-sucking insects which belongs to the family reduviidae, subfamily triatominae, is a well-known vector in the transmission of trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent in chagas disease. however, it is less well appreciated that bites from these insects can cause a range of symptoms varying from localized cutaneous symptoms to a generalized anaphylactic reaction. while anaphylactic reactions following bites have been reported with five of the eleve ... | 2015 | 26793414 |

| first records of triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer, 1773) (hemiptera, reduviidae) in foshan, guangdong province, southern china. | triatomines, also known as kissing bugs, which are found throughout the world and especially in latin america, are well known natural vectors that transmit american trypanosomiasis, also called chagas disease. in china, the presence of two species of triatoma (triatoma rubrofasciata and t. sinica) was recorded in the past. due to the growing population and the increasing risk of the global spread of chagas disease, triatomines became a potential public health nuisance, and in 2016, we started mo ... | 2017 | 28807005 |
| [triatominae species] | this paper provides a checklist of 15 known species of the triatominae subfamily in maranhão state. on the coastal são luís island there are a total of 10 species associated with sylvatic areas (eratyrus mucronatus, psammolestes tertius, panstrongylus diasi) and periurban and urban areas (panstrongylus geniculatus, panstrongylus lignarius, rhodnius nasutus, rhodnius neglectus, rhodnius pictipes, rhodnius robustus and triatoma rubrofasciata). the last was found only on são luís island, while the ... | 1998 | 9592224 |
| karyosystematics of triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer, 1773) (hemiptera: reduviidae: triatominae). | triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer) is the first species of triatomine described, and little is known on its vector biology. studies are restricted to starvation resistance, interspecific morphometric variability, morphometry of testis follicles, coloration of the testicular peritoneal sheath, ultrastructure of the male accessory glands, phylogeny and cytogenetics. thus, this study aims to address the karyosystematics of t. rubrofasciata and the possible events related to karyotype evolution of thi ... | 2015 | 26250283 |
| fine structure of the male accessory glands of triatoma rubrofasciata (de geer, 1773) (hemiptera, triatominae). | male of triatoma rubrofasciata has four elongated sac-like reproductive mesodermic accessory glands, lined by an inner single layer of secretory cells, with basal plasma membrane infolds and short apical microvilli, and externally enveloped by a thin visceral muscle layer. the secretory cells have a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, golgi complex, mitochondria, and secretory granules. in one day old adult the gland cells are poorly developed, presenting small, electron-transparent secr ... | 2007 | 17262786 |
