Disease relevance of Reduviidae

• Enzyme polymorphism in triatomine bugs of the genus Rhodnius (Hemiptera: Reduviidae), vectors of Chagas disease, is analysed using both starch and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [1].
• Comparative toxicity of deltamethrin and cis-permethrin on first instars of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [2].

High impact information on Reduviidae

• Tyrosine hydroxylase-like immunoreactivity in the brain of fifth instar Rhodnius prolixus Stål (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [3].
• Behavioral response of fifth instar nymphs of Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) to pyrethroids [4].
• The repellency of N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) to Triatoma infestans (Klug) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) was evaluated using third-instar nymphs and a video tracking technique [5].
• Presence of a fatty acid-binding protein and lipid stores in flight muscles of Dipetalogaster maximus (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) [6].
• The contents of the Brindley's gland of Triatoma lecticularia (Stål) (Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae) have been identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as isobutyric acid [7].

Associations of Reduviidae with chemical compounds

• Ecdysteroids: biochemical mechanism of 20-hydroxyecdysone inactivation in Triatoma infestans (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) [8].

Gene context of Reduviidae

• Domestic triatomines (Reduviidae) and insect trypanosome infections in El Salvador, C.A [9].
