Wasps placed in terraria were avoided, as were carabid beetles and reduviid bugs. |
Once a reduviid happened to cross paths with me, and excitedly I cupped it in my hands and ran into the house to show my parents. |
Notes on the distribution and habits of Reduviid vectors of Chagas' disease in the Southwest United States. |
Unlike HIV, a sexually transmitted disease, Chagas disease is caused by a parasite spread through bites from reduviid insects commonly known as kissing bugs. |
The disease is transmitted by the bites of several species of assassin-bugs, or reduviid, notably by Conorhinus megistus. |
The disease was transmitted by reduviid bugs, or kissing bugs, which lived in cracks and holes of substandard housing and were found primarily in South and Central America. |
