Evolutionary History of Assassin Bugs (Insecta: Hemiptera: Reduviidae): Insights from Divergence Dating and Ancestral State Reconstruction
Assassin bugs are one of the most successful clades of predatory animals based on their species numbers (∼6,800 spp.) and wide distribution in terrestrial ecosystems. Various novel prey capture strategies and remarkable prey specializations contribute to their appeal as a model to study evolutionary pathways involved in predation. Here, we reconstruct the most comprehensive reduviid phylogeny (...
متن کاملA new genus and species of ambush bugs from South Africa (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Phymatinae).
Doesburgella gen. nov. and its type species D. dilatata sp.nov (Hemiptera, Heteroptera: Reduviidac, Phymatinae; Macrocephalini) are described from South Africa.
متن کاملHeterochromatin base pair composition and diversification in holocentric chromosomes of kissing bugs (Hemiptera, Reduviidae)
The subfamily Triatominae (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) includes 150 species of blood-sucking insects, vectors of Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis. Karyotypic information reveals a striking stability in the number of autosomes. However, this group shows substantial variability in genome size, the amount and distribution of C-heterochromatin, and the chromosome positions of 45S rDNA clusters...
متن کاملSame Old Bugs, New Diseases
Blood-borne mycoplasmas, known collectively as hemotropic mycoplasmas or hemoplasmas, are small, pleomorphic, epicellular bacteria that adhere to the host’s red blood cells. They cannot be cultured. They can be detected microscopically in blood smears and, more reliably, through use of PCR assays on whole blood. The hemoplasmas vary in severity of disease caused to the host and most infected an...
متن کاملEcological patterns of blood-feeding by kissing-bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Triatominae).
Host use by vectors is important in understanding the transmission of zoonotic diseases, which can affect humans, wildlife and domestic animals. Here, a synthesis of host exploitation patterns by kissing-bugs, vectors of Chagas disease, is presented. For this synthesis, an extensive literature review restricted to feeding sources analysed by precipitin tests was conducted. Modern tools from com...
