TL;DR: The first genome sequence of a nondipteran insect vector of an important human parasitic disease is described, which provides critical information on the physiology and evolution of this important vector species and should be instrumental for the development of innovative disease control methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex bias in infectious disease epidemiology: patterns and processes.
TL;DR: Physiological differences, including the crosstalk between sex hormones and immune effectors, thus emerge as the main candidate drivers of gender differences in infectious disease susceptibility, suggesting that gender-specific behavior plays an overall secondary role in generating sex bias.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic trees support an old divergence between South American and North-Central American Triatomini and query the validity of some genera and the very low sequence variation between species of the phyllosoma complex suggests that subspecific ranking would be more appropriate.
