What happens after a blood meal? A transcriptome response from the main tissues involved in egg production in <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i> , an insect vector of Chagas disease

2020-06-26

Abstract excerpt

The blood-sucking hemipteran Rhodnius prolixus is a vector of Chagas disease, one of the most neglected tropical diseases affecting several million people, mostly in Latin America. The blood meal is an event with a high epidemiological impact since in adult mated females it initiates the production of hundreds of eggs. By means of RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq) we have examined how a blood meal influences mRNA expressi...
