Abstract
Besides identifying and characterizing two PLA2 genes in the major Chagas' disease vector R. prolixus, we have shown that the potent toxicity of JBU is linked to one of these genes. Our results contribute to the general comprehension of urease's mechanisms of action in insects, and, potentially, to studies on the control of the Chagas' disease parasite transmission.
