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.

TL;DR: Working with Rhodnius prolixus, the insect vector of Chagas disease, it is shown that an ovary dual oxidase (Duox), a NADPH oxidase, is the source of the H2O2 that supports dityrosine-mediated protein cross-linking and eggshell hardening.

TL;DR: The data suggest that RpSeGPx functions in the regulation of extracellular (hemolymph) redox homeostasis of R. prolixus.

TL;DR: The allele HLA DRB1*13:02 has exhibited a tendency to behave as a susceptibility factor for TLE-HS, and the remainder of the alleles in the HLA-DRB1,HLA-DQB1 and HLA -DQA1 regions did not exhibit any significant association.

TL;DR: A strong correlation is found between self-perception of trigger factors and actual trigger factors for seizures in adolescents with JME with praxis-induced seizures.
