The paper investigates trypanosomatid diversity in small mammals at a wildlife-urban interface, identifying zoonotic pathogens and highlighting public health risks.

This study evaluates nitisinone (NTBC) as a new treatment for bed bugs, showing it is lethal to both susceptible and resistant populations but with slight resistance in the latter, and identifies molecular mechanisms of action.

This paper analyzes the testicles transcriptome of Rhodnius prolixus to identify genes involved in male reproduction and highlights the lack of functional annotations for many transcripts.

This paper identifies a Y-linked gene in Triatoma infestans orthologous to Drosophila kl-3, showing it is essential for male fertility through knockdown experiments.
