Ontogenetic expansion and regionalization of the triatomine compound eye supports flight-related vision

2026-04-14

Abstract excerpt

Triatomines are the vectors of Chagas disease, one of the main endemic diseases from South to North America, now expanding to other continents. These hemimetabolous insects have been considered poorly visual animals. However, recent findings challenge this idea. Here, we used Rhodnius prolixus as a model species to comprehensively characterize triatomine compound eyes. We found that in the adult stage, eye size s...
