| the ecotopes and evolution of triatomine bugs (triatominae) and their associated trypanosomes. | triatomine bug species such as microtriatoma trinidadensis, eratyrus mucronatus, belminus herreri, panstrongylus lignarius, and triatoma tibiamaculata are exquisitely adapted to specialist niches. this suggests a long evolutionary history, as well as the recent dramatic spread a few eclectic, domiciliated triatomine species. virtually all species of the genus rhodnius are primarily associated with palms. the genus panstrongylus is predominantly associated with burrows and tree cavities and the g ... | 2000 | 10904415 |
