Analysis of the testicle’s transcriptome of the Chagas disease vector Rhodnius prolixus
Cardoso Jc,Ribeiro Jmc,dos Santos Dv,Marcos H. Pereira,Ricardo Nascimento Araújo,Nelder F. Gontijo,Pessoa Gcd,Sant’Anna Mrv,Sorgine Mhf,David Majerowicz,Marcelo N. Medeiros,Braz Grc,Rafael D. Mesquita,Pedro L. Oliveira,Leonardo Barbosa Koerich +14 more
TL;DR: The physiology of the male reproductive organs of the vector of Chagas disease Rhodnius prolixus is looked at, and a first glimpse is seen of genes differentially expressed in male gonads, in such insects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-immune Traits Triggered by Blood Intake Impact Vectorial Competence
Octavio A. C. Talyuli,Vanessa Bottino-Rojas,Carla Polycarpo,Pedro L. Oliveira,Gabriela O. Paiva-Silva +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore different aspects of the vector physiology, discussing how they give support to these long-dated host-parasite relationships and reveal that the parasites themselves have a role in the outcome of these blood triggered physiological events, consistently using them in their favor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erratum to: Evolutionary origin and function of NOX4- art, an arthropod specific NADPH oxidase.
TL;DR: Double stranded RNAs for MAL and NOX4-art were produced from PCR-amplified fragments using the HiScribe T7 In Vitro Translation Kit using plasmid templates and by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) products, from sugar-fed female cDNA.
Book ChapterDOI
Blood Digestion in Triatomine Insects
TL;DR: Here, a brief connection between the classical outline of blood digestion physiology in triatomines and this new science scenario is made, trying to identify critical information that is still lacking.
