Front Physiol . 2021 Jan; 11:614722. PMID: 33424639
Mosquitoes exhibit activity rhythms, crucial for the transmission of pathogens, under the control of a circadian clock. is one of the world's leading vectors. For decades, several studies have linked...

Rivas G, Teles-de-Freitas R, Pavan M, Lima J, Peixoto A, Bruno R
J Biol Rhythms . 2018 May; 33(3):272-288. PMID: 29761749
Most organisms feature an endogenous circadian clock capable of synchronization with their environment. The most well-known synchronizing agents are light and temperature. The circadian clock of mosquitoes, vectors of many...

Parasit Vectors . 2016 Apr; 9:239. PMID: 27121502
Background: Circadian rhythms of triatomines, vectors of the etiological agent Trypanosoma cruzi responsible for Chagas disease, have been extensively studied in adults of the two most epidemiologically relevant vector species,...

Mesquita R, Vionette-Amaral R, Lowenberger C, Rivera-Pomar R, Monteiro F, Minx P, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2015 Dec; 112(48):14936-41. PMID: 26627243
Rhodnius prolixus not only has served as a model organism for the study of insect physiology, but also is a major vector of Chagas disease, an illness that affects approximately...

Vigoder F, Souza N, Brazil R, Bruno R, Costa P, Ritchie M, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2015 May; 8:290. PMID: 26017472
Background: Brazilian populations of Lutzomyia longipalpis may constitute a complex of cryptic species, and this report investigates the distribution and number of potential sibling species. One of the main differences...

Rivas G, Souza N, Peixoto A, Bruno R
Parasit Vectors . 2014 Jun; 7:278. PMID: 24947114
Background: Insect vectors have been established as models in Chronobiology for many decades, and recent studies have demonstrated a close relationship between the circadian clock machinery, daily rhythms of activity...
