Highly contiguous genomes of <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i> and <i>Triatoma rubida</i> reveal the molecular basis of haematophagy evolution in Triatominae
2026-08-11
Abstract excerpt
Insects of the subfamily Triatominae, commonly known as kissing bugs, are obligate blood-feeding vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi , the causative agent of Chagas disease. Rhodnius prolixus is among the most epidemiologically important vectors in Latin America, whereas Triatoma rubida frequently invades homes and is a potential vector in the southern United States and northern Mexico. Triatomines likely evolved from...
