Tian Y, Juarez J, Moller-Vasquez A, Granados-Presa M, Ferreira F, Pennington P, et al.
Acta Trop . 2024 Sep; 260:107401. PMID: 39277155
Fleas and ticks serve as vectors of multiple pathogens in the genera Rickettsia and Bartonella that cause diseases in humans and other animals. Although human rickettsiosis and bartonellosis have been...

Taracena M, Garcia Caffaro I, Paiva-Silva G, Oliveira P, Rendon P, Dotson E, et al.
Methods Mol Biol . 2021 Sep; 2360:279-294. PMID: 34495521
RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful mechanism that can be exploited not only for physiology research but also for designing insect pest management approaches. Some insects cause harm by vectoring...

Taracena M, Hunt C, Benedict M, Pennington P, Dotson E
Parasit Vectors . 2019 Apr; 12(1):170. PMID: 30992032
Background: Mosquito-borne diseases affect millions worldwide, with malaria alone killing over 400 thousand people per year and affecting hundreds of millions. To date, the best strategy to prevent the disease...

Juarez J, Pennington P, Bryan J, Klein R, Beard C, Berganza E, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2018 Nov; 12(11):e0006896. PMID: 30399143
Introduction: Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease that affects millions of Latin Americans, has been effectively controlled in Guatemala after multiple rounds of indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS). However, a...

Pennington P, Messenger L, Reina J, Juarez J, Lawrence G, Dotson E, et al.
Acta Trop . 2015 Jul; 151:80-7. PMID: 26215126
Parasites transmitted by insects must adapt to their vectors and reservoirs. Chagas disease, an American zoonosis caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is transmitted by several species of triatomines. In Central America,...

Taracena M, Oliveira P, Almendares O, Umana C, Lowenberger C, Dotson E, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2015 Feb; 9(2):e0003358. PMID: 25675102
Technologies based on RNA interference may be used for insect control. Sustainable strategies are needed to control vectors of Chagas disease such as Rhodnius prolixus. The insect microbiota can be...

De Urioste-Stone S, Pennington P, Pellecer E, Aguilar T, Samayoa G, Perdomo H, et al.
Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg . 2015 Jan; 109(2):159-67. PMID: 25604767
Background: Integrated vector management strategies depend on local eco-bio-social conditions, community participation, political will and inter-sectorial partnership. Previously identified risk factors for persistent Triatoma dimidiata infestation include the presence of...

Bustamante D, De Urioste-Stone S, Juarez J, Pennington P
PLoS One . 2014 Aug; 9(8):e104599. PMID: 25170955
Background: Chagas disease transmission by Triatoma dimidiata persists in Guatemala and elsewhere in Central America under undefined ecological, biological and social (eco-bio-social) conditions. Methodology: Eco-bio-social risk factors associated with persistent...

Parasit Vectors . 2013 Dec; 6:268. PMID: 24330978
Background: Anopheles albimanus is a key malaria vector in the northern neotropics. Current vector control measures in the region are based on mass distributions of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and...
