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
Neuropeptide precursor gene discovery in the Chagas disease vector Rhodnius prolixus.
Sheila Ons,Marcos Sterkel,Luis Aníbal Diambra,Henning Urlaub,Rolando Rivera-Pomar,Rolando Rivera-Pomar +5 more
TL;DR: A straightforward workflow combining homology search in Rhodnius prolixus genome sequence with cloning by rapid amplification of cDNA ends and mass spectrometry is shown to achieve the first comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic and neuropeptidomic analysis of an insect disease vector.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Dose Makes the Poison: Nutritional Overload Determines the Life Traits of Blood-Feeding Arthropods.
Marcos Sterkel,Jose Henrique M. Oliveira,Vanessa Bottino-Rojas,Gabriela O. Paiva-Silva,Pedro L. Oliveira +4 more
TL;DR: The study of hematophagous arthropods constitutes a unique mode of operation for cell signaling, immunity, and metabolism, the study of which may offer insights into the biology of disease vectors and may lead to novel vector-specific control methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a point mutation associated with pyrethroid resistance in the para-type sodium channel of Triatoma infestans, a vector of Chagas’ disease
Jésica Fabro,Marcos Sterkel,Natalia Capriotti,Gastón Mougabure-Cueto,Mónica Daniela Germano,Rolando Rivera-Pomar,Rolando Rivera-Pomar,Sheila Ons +7 more
TL;DR: The sequence of domain II from the para sodium channel in Rhodnius prolixus, a vector of Chagas' disease, is identified and the domain II of the sodium channel from the other main ChagAs' disease vector: Triatoma infestans is cloned and sequenced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of G protein coupled receptors for opsines and neurohormones in Rhodnius prolixus. Genomic and transcriptomic analysis.
