Scheme of the digestive tract of the Triatominae. (2006) showed that in insects experimentally infected with T. cruzi, the level of cathepsin D activity increased 1 and 3 days after the blood meal. Antennae long, thin, not clubbed. Evolves faster than ITS-2 at low level comparisons; useful for studies of closely related species, Saturation is already occurring when comparing distant species of the same genus, This is the fastest evolving mtDNA gene; useful for comparison of subspecies (intrapopulational, interpopulational, between morphs, and between subspecies), Saturation may become a problem in analysis of distant species and higher taxa, Useful for studies of closely related species and for population genetics analyses. Kollien and Schaub40 also demonstrated that there is competition of T. cruzi with the vectors nutrients, showing that feeding affects not only the parasite population density, but also changes the percentages of different evolutionary stages observed in the rectum. Even in those regions where the main domestic vector populations have been eliminated, there is a consistent requirement to maintain surveillance with focal interventions against potential new domestic infestations.

Populations, hybrids and the systematic concepts of species and subspecies in Chagas disease triatomine vectors inferred from nuclear ribosomal and mitochondrial DNA. In the rectum, a proportion of epimastigotes differentiate into metacyclic trypomastigotes (metacyclogenesis), which eventually are eliminated together with feces and urine, and thus are able to complete the biological cycle through contact of the infected Triatominae feces with the skin or mucosal tissues of the vertebrate host (Garcia et al., 2007). In contrast with dipteran vectors that have trypsin for the digestion of blood proteins, triatomines use cathepsins that require acid pH in the intestinal contents. Keys for identification of triatomine species are given by Lent and Wygodzinsky (1979). Apparently, T. cruzi and the triatomine insect probably have not coevolved to facilitate parasite transmission (Schofield, 2000; Takano-Lee and Edman, 2002).

Bactrodinae A hemolytic factor has been shown to be present in the stomach of Rhodnius prolixus60 which has effect on trypanosomatids.61 These authors also verified that different T. cruzi strains present distinct susceptibility to the hemolytic factor, which suggests a selective advantage for the development of certain T. cruzi strains over others in the insect vector. Infect Genet Evol 2014;21:1345634; Zuriaga MA, Mas-Coma S, Bargues MD. Then these epimastigotes divide by longitudinal binary division and can attach to the perimicrovillar membranes, which are secreted by midgut epithelial cells (Billingsley and Downe, 1986; Billingsley, 1990), to continue their establishment and development (Zeledon, 1997; Gonzalez et al., 1999; Azambuja et al., 2005). Triatominae present a diversity of body size from 5 to 40mm but the main species are around 20mm. Adult assassin bugs are usually 1/2 to 3/4 long.
Many species are brownish or blackish, but some species are brightly colored. No longer interacts genetically with functional copies. The wheel bug, Arilus cristatus, is one of the largest and most easily recognized assassin bugs. Triatoma infestans, Rhodnius prolixus (Figure 12-11) and Panstrongylus megistus are domesticated species; they live in houses with people and accomplish their complete biological cycle in this environment.

Nogueira et al.62 demonstrated that T. cruzi epimastigote GIPLs (glycoinositolphospholipids, formerly collectively known as lipopeptidophosphoglycanLPPG) are the major cell surface glycoconjugates of the epimastigote forms of T. cruzi6365 involved in parasite attachment to the midgut and, somehow, are able to modulate the development of the parasite infection in R. prolixus, suggesting that glycoproteins from phosphomannomutase (PMM) and hydrophobic proteins from epimastigotes are important for parasite adhesion to the vectors posterior midgut cells.

Evolutionary history of assassin bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Reduviidae): insights from divergence dating and ancestral state reconstruction.
A nuclear ribosomal DNA pseudogene in triatomines opens a new research field of fundamental and applied implications in Chagas disease.
They lie in wait for their prey on flowers. Combined with studies on orientation mechanisms and dispersal activity, they could greatly assist in understanding the process of triatomine domestication (Noireau et al., 2005). Triatominae are composed of 14 genera and 140 species, inhabiting the Americas from southern Argentina to the Mid-USA.36 One genus, Linshcosteus, is distributed in India and one species, Triatoma rubrofasciata, associated with rats, migrates with ships and is now distributed to all main tropical ports. Later they attack caterpillars such as the fall webworm and other pests such as the locust borer. TABLE II. This, in conjunction with declining public health interest in Chagas disease as the apparent control successes become more widely discussed, imposes a need for additional strategies in vector surveillance and control that can be sustained as a matter of routine over the long term.
The two species with the widest geographical distribution are listed first, followed by species arranged generally by their distribution from north to south. Kollien et al. After being ingested by the vector, the parasites encounter the components of the insect midgut and the products of blood digestion (hemolytic factor, proteolytic enzymes, peptides derived from D-globin and lectins), bacterial symbionts, and other resident bacteria in the gut. Photo by Edward L. Manigault, Clemson University Donated Collection, Bugwood.org Ectrichodiinae Gene and fragment lengths refer to published studies on Triatominae. All countries of South and Central America have begun programs to fight Triatominae and Chagas disease (Southern Cone Initiative) since the 1990s. Their prey is mostly large bees, wasps and flies, so they do not contribute much to insect pest control in plantings. The Reduviidae are a large cosmopolitan family of the order Hemiptera (true bugs). (2003) described and characterized cDNA encoding for a lysozyme from the gut of Triatoma infestans that was expressed differentially in the various regions of the digestive tract. worldwide and throughout NA, much more diverse in warmer climates, Most prey on arthropods; Triatominae suck blood. The biological cycle comprises eggs, oval or rounded (Figure 12-12), five young stages similar to adult but without wings, and adults (with females larger than males). Salyavatinae Holoptilinae
They are found on many fall-blooming yellow or yellow and white flowers, where their greenish-yellow color allows them to be well camouflaged.

In the rectum, the epimastigotes transform into metacyclic trypomastigotes (c), which are eliminated with the feces and urine (Azambuja and Garcia, 2010). This species is an important predator of forest insects.
Elasmodeminae Reduviinae Even the beneficial insect predators can inflict a painful bite if handled carelessly, resulting in an inflammation that can persist for a few days.
A few days after feeding the trypomastigotes form from the infected vertebrate host blood transform into epimastigotes or spheromastigotes in the midgut of the insect vector. Saicinae Similar level of resolution than Cyt b. Figure 16.6.
There is not only a risk of repopulation by the main vector species but also a risk of other species invading domestic habitats and either establishing new domestic colonies or provoking accidental transmission (e.g., through contamination of food or drink) without necessarily establishing new colonies. (2004) characterized two cysteine proteases in the digestive tract of T. infestans and Arajo et al. Acta Trop 2009;110:1123636; Monteiro FA, Peretolchina T, Lazoski C, Harris K, Dotson EM, Abad-Franch F, et al. Largely as a result of these initiatives, transmission rates have been steadily reduced, with corresponding reductions in infection prevalence. If one lands or is seen on your body, brush it or flick it off with a sideways motion. If you need expert professional advice, contact your local extension office. The effects can be intensely painful and the injection from some species may be medically significant. These sounds are often used to discourage predators.
