Disease relevance of Triatoma

  • As the Southern Cone Initiative proceeds steadily towards eradication of Triatoma infestans, there is increasing interest in applying similar approaches to control Chagas disease vectors in Mexico, Central America and countries of the Andean Pact [1].
  • Toxicity of methyl bromide and other gaseous insecticides to Triatoma infestans [2].
 

Psychiatry related information on Triatoma

  • We found that feeding behavior of Triatoma infestans (Klug) 5th-instar nymphs was blocked by topical application of the cis-isomers of methyl esters of N-substituted maleamic acids, synthesized in our laboratory [3].
 

High impact information on Triatoma

  • Recently, we have cloned several Kazal-type serine protease inhibitors from the midgut of the Triatoma infestans bug [4].
  • Effectiveness of residual spraying of peridomestic ecotopes with deltamethrin and permethrin on Triatoma infestans in rural western Argentina: a district-wide randomized trial [5].
  • OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of a single residual spraying of pyrethroids on the occurrence and abundance of Triatoma infestans in peridomestic ecotopes in rural La Rioja [5].
  • Orientation behaviour of the blood-sucking bug triatoma infestans to short-chain fatty acids: synergistic effect of L-lactic acid and carbon dioxide [6].
  • Procalin has been identified as the major salivary allergen of Triatoma protracta and was recently cloned and expressed through recombinant technique [7].

Associations of Triatoma with chemical compounds

  • Metacyclogenesis of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes was evaluated in a medium supplemented with Triatoma infestans intestinal homogenate in the presence of sugars and derivates as are mannose, galactose, fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, mannose 6-P, and fructose 1,6-P at a concentration of 25 mM [15].
  • Domestic reinfestations by triatomine bugs were monitored after application of deltamethrin and apparent elimination of Triatoma infestans in Amama and other nearby rural villages, north-west Argentina, from 1992 to 1996 [16].
  • Burchellin: effects on Triatoma infestans and on Trypanosoma cruzi within this vector [17].
  • Only 14 Triatoma sequences had strong homologies to those from other organisms, including genes encoding for 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, CAD protein, NADH-ubiquinone-oxoreductase, epidermal growth factor, plectin, aminopeptidase, heat-shock-related 70-kDa protein, golgin, mitochondrial carrier protein and high-density lipoprotein [18].
  • A new approach to insect control--using sodium trichloroacetate (NaTCA) to inhibit synthesis of the hydrophobic cuticular lipids that protect insects from dehydration--was tested on Triatoma infestans [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Triatoma

  • However, wall bioassays with Triatoma infestans nymphs in a 72 h exposure test showed that deposits of deltamethrin persisted in quantities sufficient to kill triatomines until three months post spraying [25].
