Characterization of the sensory gene repertoire of Triatoma infestans and the effect of blood ingestion on its antennal expression
Currently, Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. As many T. infestans populations present insecticide resistance, directly impacting control campaigns, alternative control methods, like those based on behavioral manipulation are needed. Bug nutr...

| Sumario: | Currently, Triatoma infestans is the main vector of Chagas disease in Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. As many T. infestans populations present insecticide resistance, directly impacting control campaigns, alternative control methods, like those based on behavioral manipulation are needed. Bug nutritional and developmental status modulate bug responsiveness to host-related sensory cues. In order to understand the molecular bases of this modulation, we sequenced the antennal transcriptome of T. infestans and compared the gene expression profiles between unfed and fed insects. |
