<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i> Induces Life-History Trait Changes in the Wild Kissing Bug <i>Mepraia spinolai</i> : Implications for Parasite Transmission

6 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

One important paradigm in host-parasite evolutionary biology is the ability of parasites to manipulate the phenotype of their hosts to facilitate transmission. In this paper, I examine whether the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi modifies the developmental time, body size, and survival of its vector, the bloodsucking insect Mepraia spinolai (Hemiptera; Reduviidae). M. spinolai nymphs were experimentally...
