Analysis of the testicle’s transcriptome of the Chagas disease vector <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i>
2019-04-23
Abstract excerpt
Rhodnius prolixus is amongst the most important vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi in the Americas, putting thousands of people at risk of contracting Chagas Disease. This insect is also one of the most important models in insect physiology, especially regarding the blood-feeding process. However, studies on R. prolixus genetics lagged, and our understanding on the regulation of gene expression is incipient. Transcrip...
