Temporal variation of Triatoma dimidiata abundance and infection with Trypanosoma cruzi in domestic and sylvatic habitats of rural Yucatan, Mexico.

In the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, Triatoma dimidiata is the main vector of Chagas disease. This is a native species in the region that principally inhabits sylvatic habitats. Nevertheless, it shows a tolerant behavior to anthropogenic disturbance, with adult bugs frequently infesting human dwellings, principally during the warm and dry season.

Does Trypanosoma cruzi (Chagas, 1909) (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) modify the antennal phenotype of Triatoma dimidiata (Latreille, 1811) (Hemiptera: Triatominae)?

Background: Triatoma dimidiata is a vector of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Phenotypic plasticity allows an organism to adjust its phenotype in response to stimuli or environmental conditions. Understanding the effect of T.

Interaction between two aggregation chemical signals in Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae).

The nymphs and adults of Triatoma infestans spend much of their time aggregated among themselves within narrow and dark shelters. The search for a suitable shelter depends in part on the recognition of chemical signals coming from the feces and the cuticle of the other individuals who use the refuge. The aim of this study was determine the possible interaction between the chemical signals associated to the feces and to the cuticle of T.

"Sweeter than a rose", at least to Triatoma phyllosoma complex males (Triatominae: Reduviidae).

Background: The Triatoma phyllosoma complex of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors (Triatominae: Reduviidae) is distributed in both Neotropical and Nearctic bioregions of Mexico.

Methods: Volatile organic compounds emitted by disturbed Triatoma longipennis, Triatoma pallidipennis and Triatoma phyllosoma, and from their Brindley's and metasternal glands, were identified using solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Results: Disturbed bugs and the metasternal glands from T.
