Opportunistic or selective? Stage-dependent feeding behavior in a wild vector of Chagas disease

Sophie De Bona et al.

Summary: The study investigates the host selection behavior of the triatomine vector Mepraia spinolai, in relation to its developmental stage and infection status, for the transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi. The results show that M. spinolai does not feed based on the availability of vertebrate species. Early stage nymphs feed on a wider range of species compared to middle and late stage individuals, and infected and uninfected M. spinolai exhibit similar feeding profiles.

Humans as blood-feeding sources in sylvatic triatomines of Chile unveiled by next-generation sequencing

Esteban San Juan et al.

Summary: In this study, it was investigated whether three sylvatic triatomine species in the semiarid-Mediterranean ecosystem of Chile feed on humans. The results showed that these insects feed on a variety of vertebrate species, including humans. Therefore, it is important to educate local inhabitants, workers, and tourists to avoid or minimize the risk of exposure to Chagas disease vectors.

Summary: Mepraia spinolai, a vector of Trypanosoma cruzi in Chile, was found to have a relationship between its parasitic load of T. cruzi and its blood meal source and infecting DTUs.

Characterization of triatomine bloodmeal sources using direct Sanger sequencing and amplicon deep sequencing methods

Sujata Balasubramanian et al.

Summary: Knowledge of host associations of blood-feeding vectors is crucial for managing disease systems and protecting public health. In this study, two methods, Sanger sequencing and amplicon deep sequencing, were used to determine the hosts fed upon by triatomines collected in Texas, USA. The results showed that Sanger sequencing and amplicon deep sequencing yielded consistent results and detected additional hosts.

Effect of habitat fragmentation on rural house invasion by sylvatic triatomines: A multiple landscape-scale approach

Miriam Cardozo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence and frequency of sylvatic triatomines invading rural houses in central Argentina. Results show that invasion is more common in disturbed landscapes with isolated houses near fragmented forest patches. The availability of domestic refuges and a higher number of domestic animals also increase the chances of triatomine invasion.
