Citrus Blackfly Parasitoid, Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) by Ru Nguyen

“…In 1950, E. opulenta from Saharanpur (India) were released for the control of A. woglumi in Mexico (Flanders 1969). The parasite was then introduced to Texas in 1971 (Summy et al. 1983), and Florida in 1976 (Hart et al. 1978) to suppress and maintain under the economic threshold the population of the citrus blackfly in these states. …”

A metapopulation model for sylvatic T. cruzi transmission with vector migration by Britnee Crawford, Christopher Kribs-Zaleta

“…This study presents a metapopulation model for the sylvatic transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, across multiple geographical regions and multiple overlapping host-vector transmission cycles.Classical qualitative analysis of the model and several submodels focuses on the parasite's basic reproductive number, illustrating how vector migration across patches and multiple transmission routes to hosts (including vertical transmission) determine the infection's persistence in each cycle.Numerical results focus on trends in endemic [equilibrium] persistence levels as functions of vector migration rates, and highlight the significance of the different epidemiological characteristics of transmission in each of the three regions.…”

Split-Cre-mediated GFP expression as a permanent marker for flagellar fusion of Trypanosoma brucei in its tsetse fly host by Ruth Etzensperger, Mattias Benninger, Berta Pozzi, Ruth Rehmann, Arunasalam Naguleswaran, Gabriela Schumann, Jan Van Den Abbeele, Isabel Roditi

“…In addition to its use in trypanosomes, this system could be adapted for other parasites and in other contexts. For example, it could be used to determine whether flagellar fusion occurs in related parasites such as Leishmania and Trypanosoma cruzi or to monitor whether intracellular parasites and their hosts exchange proteins.…”
