Ontogeny, species identity and environment dominate microbiome dynamics in wild populations of kissing bugs (Triatominae)

2020-06-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Kissing bugs (Triatominae) are blood-feeding insects best known as the vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi , the causative agent of Chagas’ disease. Considering the high epidemiological relevance of these vectors, their biology and bacterial symbiosis remains surprisingly understudied. While previous investigations revealed generally low individual complexity but high among-individual variability of...
