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
RNA interference of the salivary gland nitrophorin 2 in the triatomine bug Rhodnius prolixus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) by dsRNA ingestion or injection
Ricardo Nascimento Araújo,Adriana Santos,F. S. Pinto,Nelder F. Gontijo,Michael J. Lehane,Marcos H. Pereira +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that RNAi will prove a highly valuable functional genomics technique in triatomine bugs and the finding that feeding dsRNA can induce knockdown is novel for insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the domestic chicken (Gallus gallus) in the epidemiology of urban visceral leishmaniasis in Brazil.
TL;DR: Environmental, physiologic, socioeconomic, and cultural factors related to chicken raising that could influence Le.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-complement activity in the saliva of phlebotomine sand flies and other haematophagous insects
TL;DR: The inhibition of the complement system by phlebotomine sand flies may have a role in the transmission of Leishmania to the vertebrate hosts and the inhibitor molecule is thus a promising component of a vaccine to target salivary immunomodulators.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Nine Kazal peptides were identified, among them one with high homology to the tabanid vasodilator vasotab, suggesting that the Triatoma vasidilator could be a Kazal protein.
