Collection of triatomines from sylvatic habitats by a Chagas-positive, trained scent-detection canine in Texas, USA

D. Christopher, R. Curtis-Robles, G. L. Hamer, J. Bejcek, A. Saunders, W. Roachell, T. L. Cropper, S. A. Hamer

A trained scent-detection dog increased triatomine detection rates in Texas sylvatic habitats, identifying nymphs and nidicolous locations more efficiently than manual searches.

Microbiomes of North American Triatominae: the grounds for Chagas disease epidemiology

S. M. Rodriguez-Ruano, V. Skochova, R. O. M. Rego, J. O. Schmidt, W. Roachell, V. Hypsa, E. Novakova

The paper investigates the microbiomes of North American Triatominae species to understand their role in Chagas disease epidemiology, finding that microbiome composition is host-specific and correlates with the presence of Trypanosoma cruzi.
